 okkkkkkkkkkkk......total mistake????? I propped my camera up on a hay wagon (no tripod available at the time) across the road from my house.....my golden retriever Buddy...who has been featured in some of my pix. nuzzled me and messed (maybe not) up the shot. I've never done a night photo before. Didn't want a straight horizon eye candy shot. After I saw this I played around and did about 25 more. The first seemed like the best. Although I need way more practice......the random surprises please me the best. Turned out I was right. The ghostly figure in the upper left corner is just that. Was probably watching the whole thing and brought some electricity into it..... I did NOT see him when I took the picture and he only appeared in one shot. Must be my resident ghost....Caleb. Who has appeared many times in my house. I believe he was a confederate soldier. People who have spent the night in the third bedroom have heard and seen him. Any takers?
