The abandoned trainstation

 This saturday night my brother and I decided to explore the abandoned railway station in Hannover. We arrived at 11 pm, fortunatly it was quite easy to cross the fence which is surrounding the area cause it was broke down. 
After entering I noticed that there was still a little shine from the sun in the west. So I took the first photo.


 I took one exposure to the building and another to the sky. I blended both shots and set the saturation for yellow a lil bit up to enhance the impression of the sun.
After walking around through the area we found a great looking staircase.

Taking this picture was quite hard, cause I was not able to see if the focus is right. It was just too dark to see anything. So I took some more photos to just get the right focus.
Unfortunatly it was not possible to get some more long-exposured shots of these great rotten buildings. After takin this last shot a car from nowhere drove towards us with high speed not givin a fuck about all those stones lying on the floor and blinded us with its driving lights. Actually that situation scared the shit out of us endin in a full braking of the car. It was some kind of security man who thought we would have been sprayers decorating the walls. 
He said this time he's nice not writin down our names and calling the police. 
After all we went home...happy :)

dead cars and stuff


When I walked through Hannover with a friend, we discovered this great old damaged car. I immediatley got my cam and a tripod.
I set up exposure to the car to brighten it. A second exposure was made to get a dark version of the photo. I blended both pictures, corrected tonal values, gradiation curves and color saturation for red and yellow. I created a new masked layer to set saturation for sky low. Sharpness was improved by high pass filter.

 I recently began photography but I like it alot. For me it's a nice way to get rid of everyday life.
