Gone With The Wind?

Look at this fine art picture I got of a former county courthouse in Gainesville, Florida. I think it is a theater now. It was at Christmas time and they had a lot of decorations up with lots of colored lights. I thought it looked like something from the movie Gone With The Wind. I had to experiment a lot to get the right effect that I wanted. Remember nothing is done on my computer, this is one capture. I liked the movement I got with this picture. It also looks a little surreal to me.

Here is another capture that I got and this one was more straight forward.

Here is what it looks like, semi normal.

I am an award winning photographer and filmmaker. Many of my pictures have been used in TV Shows and Feature Films, such as "Zero Dark Thirty", "NCIS Los Angeles", "Scandal", "Blackish" and "The Walking Dead".
All my pictures are from one capture and nothing is computer generated, except where noted. Then it is only an inversion or an increase in saturation only, not a change to the actual content of the picture.
I hope you find my pictures unusual, creative and in some cases inspiring. Everyone sees something different in my pictures. Enjoy!
