Sorry I have not been posting or visiting your blogs the last couple of days. I went to my brother’s house for Easter and did not have time to post new photos. Hope you all had a good Easter! I am taking a break from Nubble Lighthouse photos for a bit but will post some more soon. For now here is another shot of Salem Willows in Salem MA. This was taken in March and this street with arcades and food stands that is usually mobbed in the summer was like a ghost town.
Perfect lens blur. Makes you eye really focus.
This reminds me so much of my Home town on a Saturday afternoon when all the shops are closed grat capture I like the use of focus you have used
Feels like I have had a few too many and am making my way back home! Ha ha
Neat image.
Cool street shot, does look really deserted, the lens bay created a cool effect here, havent though of using it for a shot like this
there’s a subliminal switch that ticked on in my mind when i read the words “salem” & “ghost town”..
i think you’ve captured it perfectly here too.. 
nice shot!
Hi, I like Your pictures very much…:)
He last is made great and very interesting.
P.S. I Have however problem with Yours RSS - he does not work correctly.
Oh really the RSS feed is not working? What is it doing? Are the photos not displaying?
Really nice distance shot with the Lensbaby.
looks like August in our places… suddenly there is an awkward atmosphere!
i think you also emphasized that feeling with a nice blur effect.
That is a very cool effect. It really works with the empty street.
Have never seen it so empty!!! Love the lensbaby effect…the mood you’ve captured/created.
it does look like a ghosttown here given its emptiness. you captured it well with great angle!
Excellent image..got to love the lensbaby!
Very nice effect !!! Did you use Lens-babies to create this special effect?
Greetings Urs
Thanks! Yep I used my Lensbaby lens to create this effect.
Great picture, and great use of the lensbaby !
Man, if I move my eyes when looking at this it’s as if I am moving! I really get drawn into this image! Perfect!
Looks like my hometown, on almost any given day! Great capture, Andy. Love the Lensbaby.
Creative use of DOF…nice effect. Works well on this image !
Outstanding ! A spectacular shot! Excellent performance with lensbaby.
Nice blur, love it!
cool usage of a lensbaby
fantastic work with focus
The blur combines so well with the idea of ghost town.
The blurred effects works well to say “ghost town” at this time of year. Fine shot.
We are glad that you’re back and love your shot on this street. Beautifully presented and love the way you’ve maintained the DoF in the shot.
Thanks Ajay!
i’m a fan of this one.
