Ghost

Posted by Shrigley Photography (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States) on 8 January 2009 in Abstract & Conceptual.

It's pretty common to find wee memorials left for loved ones around the hot spots in DC (Lincoln, Vietnam, Korean Memorials, etc) and this was one that I found at the WWII Memorial. I simply set my exposure time to last forever and slowly moved my camera down to get the ghost image (just in case you'd like to try it).

Thanks again for stopping by and for your comments! I look forward to seeing your photos soon. :)


Hope all is well. :)

Interesting shot. I like that you did it in camera. It forces one to really look at it but not in an unpleasant way. You're drawn into it, I'd say.

Excellent technique, and it works wonderfully. Yes, drawn into the image is right, eyes dancing about the frame making sense of the shadows and new images from the scene. Superb
