Intention was to scope out a location for a shoot Sunday night and pop some frames to see how things might work out. Though these were worth having reviewed.

The first and the fourth of these work for me.

In each of these, I'd like to see if you could have wrung out a tad more detail from them, and in the fourth, I'd have liked to have seen a slightly lower viewpoint, thus allowing a bit more of the trees at the far end of the roadway to come into view.

Alas a lower viewpoint may not be possible as this was taken from a bridge over the canal, but if I recall correctly te fence was bars not solid, so I may be able to get down a bit on my next visit and see how it goes.

A couple of lazy PP jobs. Simply upped exposure.

Fair enough. It was just a thought.

These are, IMHO, nicer. Maybe a bit of NR on the first, now?

Maybe... I might shoot them again when I am down there Sunday and get the exposure right out of the box, that may help the noise a tad, and go from there.

Still, not bad for 3200 ISO and then bumped EV +1 in post is it? In fact the second was bumped +1.7. I do like this camera...

Definitely a tad too dark for my liking as no details to look at. The noise may be alright for the dark, eerie look though. :cough:

When I first saw the images, horror-like scenes struck me and I'm no fan of horror movies! :lol:

Would love to see the final results of the shoot.. I assume you have only shown us the potential backdrop for your images..?

Results of the shoot are viewtopic.php?f=18&t=34569

Didn't use the above as the backdrop, but was shot by the canal in these images.

I intended to re-shoot the two above but the canal was full of water, and the flood lights at the end weren't on, so the shot simply wasn't there!
