How I Did It.
Canon EOS 7D Mark II, 24 ??“ 104/F4.0 lens (at 24 mm), f16, 30 seconds, 100 ISU on tripod. Taken at Ellis Island with a friend’s back up camera. Another person in our group accidently knocked my tripod over with my new camera and lens in the first 30 minutes of getting to the island. I had my hand on the tripod but it was so crowded I couldn’t get an adequate grasp. Things happen fast. My only back up camera was a converted infrared but it wasn’t capturing the images I wanted. Luckily a friend had an old 7D that I was able to use. Moral of the story, always bring a second camera body.

Alfred Hitchcock eat your heart out. He would be drooling over this set up, lady stands in doorway, mysterious shadow with knife comes up behind her. This is just brilliant and is well spotted, well balanced and well taken. Well done. Posted: 12/15/2024 13:11:36
Diane, what a story behind this...I hope your new camera wasn't damaged or insured! This image is haunting. I like your use of the lighting and the composition. It begs the question as to what is behind the door and what/who might be lurking in the other doorway. The textures are nice. There is enough visible in the shadow areas to give it this eerie feeling without showing too much. Very nicely done. Posted: 12/16/2024 20:45:23
I like the pictures, both pictures. First time in some years that I like the colors versions in this B&W group....
Great composition (the way through the doors) and the light.
The B&W is quite dark in the bottom left corner and we lose details.
I like the the "brown" in the color version and the texture of the old doors.
Sorry for you camera. Thanks for your advice. Indeed a second camera is always useful. My personal advice (experience): NEVER let a camera "alone", event on a tripod. I am always within 20 in from my camera. Of course, an incident can happen (even alone). Posted: 12/17/2024 21:24:22
