Location

This photo of the abandoned house at Ahiaruhe, Carterton, New Zealand has given rise to lots of legends. .

Time

On a cloudy day, not having much to do I decided to go and take a shot at getting a photo of the famous haunted house. I arrived at the site only to find warning signs not to enter the property. It was 11:18am in November, almost the start of summer.

Lighting

Being a cloudy day, I wasn't too concerned about light, just used what natural light there was. I waited for the opportunity when there was a small gap between clouds where the sun had a very limited amount of lighting on the house.

Equipment

I used a Canon 7D MkII with a Canon EF 75-300mm f4-5.6 III Lens. I used ISO-100, f/10 and exposure 1/100 hand held.

Inspiration

This ghost house is a local legend and has many stories. I was curious to see it, so not having anything to do decided to go and take a look. There was a few different angles to take a photo, however this angle gave a bit of interest as the part of the house that you cannot see gives rise to a certain degree of curiosity.

Editing

No post-processing.

Feedback

Take your time and don't rush it. Think about what you want to capture that gives you the best result, be it dramatic, inspirational or artistic. Work on the settings, check the lighting, backdrop or surroundings and take a few test shots. Then get ready to take a great photo.
