Do do do do, do do do do. (Enter Rod Serling) Imagine yourself, in a room alone. You are experiencing great joy in the fact that you finally figured out how to get the video head off your tripod so you could place your new ball head on the tripod. Imagine you are playing around with your new toy and decide to take a photograph in a relatively not well lit area of your home to test out your new tripod head. Moments later you have the settings on the camera ready to go and you push the shutter button. Then the unthinkable happens. You capture an etherial figure on your camera's sensor. OK, so not so etherial...it's a teenager who happens to walk into the front hall at an opportune time. It's along the same line as the kids don't need you until you are on the phone...or need to go to the bathroom. I could have been doing anything else at that moment and no one would even think of needing to find me. Such is the life of a mom. Anyway, I thought this photo had such a cool effect. My younger son tried to duplicate it but after several tries just couldn't get the timing exactly right. He wanted to be a ghost too I guess.
Settings: ISO 100, F 5.6, SS 1.5 seconds, Focal length 18mm.

Now that is just cool! Love your whole story set up ;)
this is cool! it does look like a 'ghost....'
wow very cool.
This does have a cool effect. Hope you enjoy your new ballhead.
lol, i love this!
I took a photography class, and one of the days we actually "learned" how to do this, and it was really fun! I like when you have one person in focus (them not moving)and a bunch of people running around them, looking ghostly. I should try this again...cool, bet your teenager loved it! :)
love this! it does look like a "ghost"...we have had occurances in our past two houses but only saw lights...wish they had just been the kids! great photo!
