I wish I would have started earlier on this -- I could have done better with the lighting. It's hard when you're doing a long exposure to get the lighting right. Plus, each shot I tried, I wanted a nighttime/dark feel, so even though it looked under exposed, it didn't look right brighter. Advanced editing would have been much better, simply because it was hard to get nice contrast on a long exposure. Had I known, I could have set the contrast up in the camera, but last time I did that in minimal editing, it sucked. :)

My original idea was this:



again, I wasn't crazy about the lighting, so I tried something different.

Thanks for the comments. :)

how poetic of you. the title and image suggests a metaphorical ghost, someone becoming like a ghost because they feel hollow.
