"NIGHT" SHOTS AT NIGHT Part 3

This is Part 3 of a multi-part series of photos showing the cemetery from NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD as it is today in Evans City, PA....just in the middle of the night. This was the idea of my buddy Daz Spooky and I have to give him all the credit for this idea and showing me how to take these fantastic photos. Through long exposure settings and the use of a tripod, you can see and photograph the cemetery at night. In fact the longer the exposure, the more it looks like daytime. It's weird and interesting, I hope you like what you see. No photographs have been altered in any way. These are the shots exactly as the camera captured them.

Here we start with the grave site of Johnny and Barbra's father. They visit with him here and leave a cross with flowers on it for him. Each photo was taken between 2am and 4 am September 2, 2013.

This first photo has a headlight shining on the scene with a slightly long exposure. This is where I find my focus for the shots with no light.





I wanted to get into a few of these photos, so I positioned myself and had to stand still for twenty or thirty seconds otherwise I would be blurry in the photo. The long exposures would blur any movement. I then set a timer or use a remote control to activate the camera when I was ready. Remember these are taken in pitch black dead of night.



Here we have a series of shots showing the cemetery ghoul played by Bill Hinzman walking among the tombstones, You can match many stones in the shots from the movie to the photos I took on this night. I did not get exact angles for these unfortunately, please excuse me, I was going off of memory and not looking at anything for reference. 









Here we have the cemetery ghoul about to attack Barbra. Again, you can match many tombstones in each shot.
