Old fashioned horror spooky mansion. Not the place you want to Trick-or-Treat.

Most images have one thing that slows progress. Everything falls into place except the lighting, point of view, or as in this case waves. It took forever, but I am glad I stuck with it.

The original concept was less gloomy, but more light would have conflicted with the mist. I like the mood it evokes.

I've had several requests to continue my onyx table series, which works rather well with this magic lamp I created in Amorphium.

If you are curious to see a tall version of this, the commercial version was setup as a vertical format.

I liked how the lenses on the lighthouse lamp affected the light, but I wish it showed up more in the final image. Maybe I'll use it again someday.

I really like how the lighting adds to this image's surreal quality. My sister in law requested this one, and I think it tops the fairy series.

I worked on lighting this one for several hours. I finally ended up with lighting similar to what I started with, the trick was to keep the pinkish mist from affecting the light inside the dome.

I had put this one aside not expecting I would get anything decent out of it. Forgetting about it, I loaded it to see what it was and after extensive lighting experiments I found one of my favorite images.
