You haven’t seen this before and you won’t see it again anytime soon (ever, I hope)… a picture of me, in my blog! I wanted to try the spooky effect with long shutter speeds where you move in the frame and only leave this ghostly semi-transparent impression. Not very easy to find the right combination of shutter speed, movement and stillness, it definitely belongs to the category ”things I’d never try with film”! The composition wasn’t easy either because I needed to avoid having any trees behind me or the head would disappear in the dark branches. After a few trial and error, I got it.

It’s obviously not a very good picture but the fun was in doing. I’m not sure about the blueness, the colour is true because I was out after sunset but I’m nearly obsessed about having my snow white. Maybe I should try this at noon with a dark ND filter instead… or maybe not, it’s a nice way to kill some time on a lazy afternoon but the model is very un-co-operative!
