Crypt of the Dead

nursepayne · 28-11-2007, 01:05

Hey all,

This is the latest series of images I took in an abandoned Crypt underground.
The putrid smell was well worth the effort because it was such a spectacular location with some beautifully diffused natural light cast from frosted glass walkways paves above ground in a derelict cemetary.
Here are some of the best photos and the rest of the collection can be found on my website

I hope you enjoy,

Payno~~

Very nice set of images here

There is a great atmosphere in them, and I bet they look great enlarged.

Cracking set of images

These are amazing. Incredibly atmospheric and the treatment is spot on. A chilling set of pics...

If anyone hasn't done so already, visit Elle's website! This is one creative, dedicated young photographer whom I feel sure will enjoy great success in the future.

Elle, you have brought me great joy with your work!

Cheers

Very nicely done. My favorites are the 3rd, 5th, and 6th. Even if it wasn't a crypt, those 3 shots are a little creepy.

Les Thank you much for visiting my website and having a snoop around!
Thanks guys for having a look ( and Mary giving somebody nightmares is actually quite a compliment

)
Dab I definately need to get prints of these done, the only problem will be deciding which ones!(and then I might flog them as Christmas pressies to family)
For those of you who liked the look of the Crypt theres actually one in London but you need permission to visit it.

I'm just having a look through your website Elle and all I can say is your work is awesome.........I hope you share (please) some of your techniques and processing

Thanks P-E, I sure will now that I have found a great place to bore people with photography who will enjoy it and 'bore me back' , theres just something about people who love talking about photography that sends normal people to sleep!

M1ke A · 28-11-2007, 13:09

Excellent set of pics and a very effective website

P-E · 28-11-2007, 13:09
