Shoot a GHOST!

Idea
Use Exposure!
Using the features of your camera in a different way could always bring out different photos. 

The idea is to shoot the object half the exposure time, and keep the rest of exposure time to shoot the background of the object, the object will be a ghost! See it your self.

Shoot a GHOST toolsTools
. A camera (S.L.R. - Semi S.L.R.)
. A tripod (preferred with rotation       angle scale)
. A cable release (optional)
. Darkness, with a small source of
  light

 

Steps
Shoot a GHOST steps1. Place the camera on the tripod, and set it to M “manual.” Then set the shutter speed to 10 seconds, or above (depending on the brightness).

2. Prepare a dark scene in the background with very low illumination.

3. put the object infront of the dark scene, and place a small source of light infront of it.

4. If you have a cable release, plug it to the camera. It will enable you to maintain stability 100% to the camera. If you don’t have it, just make sure to be gentle when pressing the button, so you don’t move the camera.

5. Switch the light on, and shoot.

6. Take the object very fast away from the range of the camera after half the time is passed, and wait until the photo is fully taken, and just look at what you’ve got there! You have got a ghost :)
