Don Mammoser as a Ghost in the Hoh Rain Forest

Don taught me how to photograph a ghost. This was a rain forest and it rained all day. Gorgeous place.

@eyesmile @calm @malc Thanks for your encouragement! Ok This is how we did this. First put the camera on the tripod. You need a long shutter speed. This camera was set at ISO 100, F16, Shutter speed was 8 seconds. We had to use a neutral density filter to get the shutter speed to 8 seconds. Don (the ghost) stood in position. I snapped the picture and he stood still for 6 seconds then he walked out of the picture. It took us a few tries to get it right. You want to be able to see through the person for a proper ghost. It is a lot of fun to do. If you have any other questions I will try to answer them.

@kathyladley Many thanks Kathy. I'll have to put some ND filters on my wish list :)

Had to come back and fav it, especially after reading how you did it. I assumed it was done after the shot was taken, so now I'm even more impressed!
