Night Watch - atmospheric pictures of abandoned buildings

I - amateur photographer, really go at night, almost always the same, really light the inside of the building.

First my picture turned out, we can say, casually. We missed the sunset and I'm angry as hell, I decided to remove the ruins of the church even in the twilight, and Lech at this time came with a flashlight inside, investigate something there. I asked him to hold the flashlight for 30 seconds, the result was this picture:

"Sinister Peace"

The next six months I began to study the organization of lighting options, select and purchase equipment. As a result, I have gathered a visiting studio with tripods, stands, umbrellas, diffusers, reflectors, so late one winter night to take it all and leave Fota cemetery and the ruins of the night.

The first thing that surprised me on his return, is that instead of a couple hundred shots from the trip, I brought only a 4. I later realized that the 4 - that's a lot for one night

Every evil was so scared of our massive artillery barrage, that she had no choice but to shut his mouth and does not stick out.

"White Church"

It was a turning patrol. In all senses. After that, watch came to me a lot of ideas, both in shooting techniques and on subjects. These ideas I check so far, many are proven. In addition to ideas, then watch me started coming fame.

This peninsula once was an island, and when they began to build the church, poured mound and combined it with the "mainland".

A trip to the fabulous location Novogrudok. By the way, this watch has become one of my favorites.

"Alarm Feast"

This is also one of my favorites. I think, looking at the photos, it is clear why. And yet here it was first tested outdoor decorative lighting.

I came to Ruzhany in full confidence that on a weekday, in the night I'm here alone. But the ruins of the local inhabitants have their own night, which we spent the night. In the palace was silent feast.

In principle, we have existed peacefully side by side, only occasionally scaring each other. Basically, they told me. Carried away by the arrangement of illumination, I forgot about reality, and flashing in the openings of the old castle ruins, silent dark shadows, watching me, often frightened me. Sharp beam of my flashlight at them - and they are already scared, blocking the light.

At first there was nothing:

Then I turned on the yellow highlighting:

Then the pink ...

Finally, the blue:

So he final touch:

And then, as the culmination of an alarming picture, low-low on the horizon, the moon rose. It was very big and red! The spectacle was enthusiastic and ominous, I did not expect such a surprise.

"Hereafter Palace"

To learn how to pan Ozheshko lived in the barn, built himself a palace beyond the grave, but he was not buried in it. In the village lived a young Zakozel pan. He lived in his father's house, which was well, is not that just too shed, but some stables look better. And that's where Pan was 30 years old, in 1849, in order to build his tomb, hire one of the best European architects of the time Frantisek Yascholda, by the way, put his hand to the palace in Kossovo. Thus was born one of the most beautiful and grand architectural monuments of Belarus, a neo-Gothic chapel tomb kind Ozheshko

"From birth to death"

Without knowing it, the patrol I went to places that are closely associated with the birth and death of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.

We walk on this earth, take a step, and do not notice, do not think about the events that occurred in this place 50, 100, 150 ... years ago. So it was with me this time. But as always! Preparing for the next watch, I'm more concerned with photogenic object, camera angles available. From historical data, usually enough for me to know the object's destination and year of construction.
