That is a harrowing photograph. I've seen other shots of the amusement park and it's very haunting. Didn't they do a horror movie recently that took place there?

Who's the guy wandering around Chernobyl taking pictures? That's real dedication to your art!

It looks like the photo was captured with a technique called High Dynamic Range, or HDR. Cameras take pictures at one exposure level with a limited contrast range. This results in the loss of detail in bright or dark areas of a picture, depending on whether the camera had a low or high exposure setting. HDR compensates for this loss of detail by taking multiple pictures at different exposure levels and intelligently stitching them together to produce a picture that is representative in both dark and bright areas.

Almost appears hand tinted or maybe Instragram? Either way I'd love it in large format poster form.

I read an article a while back about animals moving back into Chernobyl since its more or less a human free habitat. Interesting how we have managed to create a chunk of earth that is considered the most dangerous to humans, yet the safest place for animals
