15th - "A Song From Under The Floorboards"

Cheltenham, Glos

(From Magazine's 1980 album 'The Correct Use of Soap')

Howard Devoto and the boys deliver another seminal long player of an album. While I like this track it's not my fav Magazine tune by any means, but it's the only track I could work into a rectangular photo :o)

Quite what's under my floorboards is anyone's guess, but it does look a bit sinister I must admit. Single RAW shot converted in CS3; I played around with the Exposure, Clarity, and Brightness sliders in ACR until I got the effect I wanted. And that was all! Now then, I think I'll have to jump into bed tonight...goodness knows what lurks ready to grab a passing ankle...

Interesting lighting under the floorboards....does something live down there????? Another imaginative image that really works...so cool!

Did you pull up the boards just to get a shot? Hope no snakes are in there!

LynnH		15-Dec-2009 23:42
Love your processing. If you hear a heart beat, run!!!!

Mouhahaha! Wait till the wife comes home, your photographic carreer will hit a bump!

Phillip Normanton		15-Dec-2009 22:14
Nooooo - don't go there, there's never anything good to be found under there... gulp!

Shades of Edgar Alan Poe...but do we really want to know what's lurking under there? Great shot, Doug, and once again a brilliant idea. I've got four of the Magazine abums, but alas, not this one. How terrible.

Hehe - I can't believe you took a flood board up!! You might find treasure?!

Chris		15-Dec-2009 16:54
Spooky image, but good!

Walter Otto Koenig		15-Dec-2009 15:38
Very cool shot, I really like the lighting and it does look a little creepy. Best be careful and don't walk around in the dark.

lisamidi		15-Dec-2009 14:46
So you even ruined your apartment for the challenge!? Fine effect though, great idea.

Marielou Dhumez		15-Dec-2009 13:48
Hum Hum... Pas prudent de nous montrer sous quelle latte du plancher tu caches tes trésors! :-)))) Original find !

Well seen, good angle and good capture of texture.

Okay, now go put it back how you found it :)) A fine effort, Doug...I like the light & shade

borisalex		15-Dec-2009 08:32
Your effort is tremendous, you even take your home apart :)!

Stephanie		15-Dec-2009 07:42
Ah, now we know where to find the valuables! :-)

Kathryn		15-Dec-2009 07:20
Spooky in a way! I like the lighting.

Barbara Heide		15-Dec-2009 07:13
