How amazing. I was thinking about taking a similar photograph with my husband today. This is AWESOME!
Would you mind sharing "How to" for this shot?

Great shot. Couldn't you do the same thing by taking two shots and merging them with the top one being transparent? I'm new to this site, and wonder if that would be against the rules? |

How is the picture still so clear? When you moved out of the photo didn't it add a blur as the picture was still taking? How did you avoid this problem? |

Thats one amazing shot, how did you avoid getting the follow effect when you moved out of the picture?
Congrats on a really good picture.

Just a thought, the shot is wonderful but I thought it might be erie if the tie she has wrapped around her hand were also seen on him in a suit. Wouldn't that just bother you? Still love the image as it stands. |

An Honor. Thank you to all. The folks that have in the past and as we speak that have spent the time to comment are truly a big part of the success of this image. I take their guidence an suggestions to the heart of my photography, an effective learning tool. I realize the importants of detail, some of you did notice items that indeed took from the balance of the shot. A little help from Photoshop and most can be taken care of. Again, Thank You! Everyone.
I will be happy to share any knowledge on the "How to" for this shot. If you have questions please feel free to e-mail me

This reminds me of the scene from the movie Sixth Sense. Good use of b&w. The elements on the right and left of the chair are a bit distracting - removing them could have made it cleaner. I am aslo not too keen on the thick black border. It is the darkest part of your photo and takes a bit from the over all dreamy feel of the image. |

Good idea, definately dreamy. Just curious can you blur the background when using this effect? Is this a long exposure or double? I want to try some of these kind of shots. nice work. |
|
Photographer found comment helpful. |
|
10/10/2003 02:35:34 PM |
I have got to know how these shots are done! I didn't think you could do double exposure with a digital! The surreal quality of the photo is excellent, the man really comes off as a someone watching over her from another plain, the slight furrowing of her brow, the sadness on her face is just right to indicate a slightly restless sleep. The only think that could have made this better for me is just slight more contrast and a little less light. Otherwise, excellent. |

Well done double exposure. I wish the man was a bit darker, but that's just me. The dark box on the middle of the mantel is a bid distracting. |

A FINE photo, precisely topical, so much more than just a dreamy image!
Ideally, and if possible, I'd consider removing anything distracting from the image (fire place utensils, water bottle, VCR)...

Really good. I like the rings being so prominent on both their hands. The items on the mantel could be a tad darker, they look washed out from the window light. |

10/07/2003 06:33:59 PM |
I absolutely love this photo!
I would be very interesed in knowing quite how it was done. I am assuming a loooong apperture and then you jumped into the shot briefly. If so then any chance of a guideline as to times involved? If not then how done?
Excellent! |

10/07/2003 06:20:21 PM |
Lots of people used this effect, but this is my favorite. Very well done. I think my only gripe would be the water bottle in front of the fireplace, and maybe the fireplace tools there on the left. 10 from me. |
|
Photographer found comment helpful. |
|
10/07/2003 04:04:29 PM |
Well executed. Very minor, but I would have removed the water bottle and fireplace tools from the bottom left... 8 |

10/07/2003 08:59:40 AM |
Wow. So much balance and control in this shot. I love how you managed to blend the border of the tile above the fireplace with the facial features of the "ghost". And the accent you put on the rings. 10 obviously. |
