The Ghost Village

A combination of HDR photography, tone-mapping, and motion time-lapse. With this technique I tried to achieve an unreal and almost post-apocalyptic look, as if we were in a dark deserted village where time stood still after some kind of disaster.

Every single frame in this production is a HDR photograph, made out of 3 individual photos at 2 EV increments. It took nearly 30.000 shots over one month to complete this project.

Shot with Nikon D90
