Bannack [Action Blur & Freeze]

 Hotel Ghost. 5/25/2011 – 5:50 PM. Bannack, MT.

F-Stop: 16 | Shutter Speed: 4 seconds | Nikon D5000

I thought this old staircase would be great for a ghost shot, so I set my shutter Speed to four seconds, and used a smaller aperture. I had Julie stand still for about 2 seconds, and then she moved out of the frame for the last two. I edited the levels to make it darker, but masked her out, to keep her looking really ghostlike.

 

School Ghost. 5/25/2011 – 12:01 PM. School House, Bannack, MT.

F-Stop: 22 | Shutter Speed: 4 seconds | Nikon D5000

I used the same technique in this one as I did in the one above. I also edited the blacks and cropped it in Camera Raw.

Jump! 5/25/2011 – 1:12 PM. Bannack, MT.

F-Stop: 7.1 | Shutter Speed: 1/800 | Nikon D5000

I edited the levels and contrast in this photo, and I also cropped it.
