Angst

See below in the first comment for the untouched raw file..

I have had this shot in the planning for some time but I have been waiting for the overcasted dead light to get this washed out color. Everything was done in cam. My remote shutter release (Velo) broke down so I had to set it to 10 sec delay and run for it:p Glad there wasnt many around.. Had no tripod so I just placed the cam on the ground and put a lens under the lens..

I have removed 2 items from the building. A cctv and an antenna. White balance and colors were adjusted in Ligthroom. Also adde some contrast and sharpening to get the that clean futuristic look I hope I have gotten..

Inspiration for the pov was stolen from "stoffen", see link below for his shot.. I like it a lot.

I hesitated a lot to find a good title and I came down to a shortlist of:

Angst
Paranoia
Paranoia, the destroyer
The truth is in there
After you

Any tip on a good title is very welcome.

Update: I know see a different take on this shot as pointed out from the comments down below..

The title should be: Can you give me a hand please?

As this guy (me) is trying to move the box and not hiding from demons (wich was what I tried to look like).

Haha...

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angst

Angst means fear or anxiety (anguish is its Latinate equivalent, and anxious, anxiety are of similar origin). The word angst was introduced into English from the Danish and Dutch word angst and the German word Angst. It is attested since the 19th century in English translations of the works of Kierkegaard and Freud. It is used in English to describe an intense feeling of apprehension, anxiety, or inner turmoil.

In German, the technical terminology of psychology and philosophy distinguishes between Angst and Furcht in that Furcht is a negative anticipation regarding a concrete threat, while Angst is a non-directional and unmotivated emotion. In common language, however, Angst is the normal word for "fear", while Furcht is an elevated synonym.

In other languages having the meaning of the Latin word pavor, the derived words differ in meaning, e.g. as in the French anxiété and peur. The word Angst has existed since the 8th century, from the Proto-Indo-European root *anghu-, "restraint" from which Old High German angust developed. It is pre-cognate with the Latin angustia, "tensity, tightness" and angor, "choking, clogging"; compare to the Ancient Greek ἄγχω (ankho) "strangle".

In Existentialist philosophy the term angst carries a specific conceptual meaning. The use of the term was first attributed to Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard (1813–1855). In The Concept of Anxiety (also known as The Concept of Dread, depending on the translation), Kierkegaard used the word Angest (in common Danish, angst, meaning "dread" or "anxiety") to describe a profound and deep-seated condition. Where animals are guided solely by instinct, said Kierkegaard, human beings enjoy a freedom of choice that we find both appealing and terrifying. Kierkegaard's concept of angst reappeared in the works of existentialist philosophers who followed, such as Friedrich Nietzsche, Jean-Paul Sartre and Martin Heidegger, each of whom developed the idea further in individual ways. While Kierkegaard's angst referred mainly to ambiguous feelings about moral freedom within a religious personal belief system, later existentialists discussed conflicts of personal principles, cultural norms, and existential despair.
