Abandoned, dilapidated and haunted! In this latest video I take a trip to the infamous ruins of the site known as the Nakagusuku Haunted Resort. I wanted to shoot a long exposure of the main building and had to employ the use of strong KANI ND Filters and a Soft Graduated ND filter in order to do so.
Throughout the experience and shoot I had this very real sense of not being alone, definitely spooky.
To round out the day and end on a high note I took a drive to one of Okinawa’s better known and often visited tourist attractions, the lighthouse at Cape Zanpa. Using stacked KANI ND and a Reverse Graduated ND Filter in the closing light of day allowed me to accomplish a 5min 20sec exposure of the scene. Why not come along for the ride, albeit a scary one, and check out the results.
*PLEASE NOTE*
We have just emerged from a couple of back to back storms here in Okinawa and the wind remains pretty strong. Every step was taken to eliminate as much as possible any wind disturbance that could negatively impact the audio recording but it was not always possible. Thanks for your understanding.
