I took my ghost with a Nikon n8008s which has a multiple exposure feature. It has to be enabled for each shot, though, and I forgot a couple times, so here’s a single exposure of the “ghost”:

And here’s another one I decided not to use, this is a triple exposure: 1 for the background (-1 exposure compensation), and 2 for the “ghost”, one in focus, the other out, (both at -2 EC).

Can’t speak for anyone else, but I did mine the old fashioned way (the trick, of course, is to bury the body in a spot you can return to on the anniversary with a camera without arousing suspicion….)

I have the nikon 70-300 G, and I don’t find it really usable past 200mm – it’s very soft. I got a used Sigma 300 f4 from KEH, and I’ve been much happier with it.

See – I thought my photo of my husband on the beach would get more play but as someone pointed out…he’s just underexposed and not really a shadow. But he looks like a shadow in my mind dammit!

Look at it this way: When you’re talking about photos, shadow can also be the opposite of highlight…

You can get a similar effect by pointing a normal bounce flash into an angled reflector, eg: http://www.lumiquest.com/lq871.htm (or you can build one yourself out of foamcore etc).

I’m not about to give up my D70, but I’ve been shooting more and more film recently, myself. I like using older equipment, and it’s much cheaper than digital gear – you can get a manual focus SLR and a couple of excellent lenses for under $100, and prices for used medium format gear have fallen a lot too.

You do have to pay the ongoing film and development costs, but there are ways to get that fairly cheaply – Fuji slide mailers, for example, or you can get 35mm C41 processing and a CD of JPEGs for like $5 from CVS if you don’t get prints (you’ve got to find one where the photo staff aren’t idiots though). I’ve posted information about easily processing your own B&W here somewhere too.

So, has everyone been out this week trying to throw springs with one hand and photograph them with the other?

PS where in Central Mass? I was born and raised in Dalton, Mass (Berkshire County), also lived in Agawam (next to Springfield) and then North Adams before moving to Maryland a few years ago.

I’m a bit further east than that, in Clinton a ways North of Worcester. The picture was taken in Maynard, though.

It snowed on and off all day here… snow does not make me happy, especially in April 🙁

Any idea yet when this thing is going to go green?

5:52 AM. Is it just me, or do these go better when they go to the main page earlier on Wed evening?
