lol. i can just imagine you panting after that second one. i must give this a try , looks like fun.

are you just sharing the shots or looking for feedback. If its feedback you are looking for then maybe just pick one of the photos to have members critique.
This might fair better in the share your shots thread...

[grantcarlin]

ok thanks, if a mod could please move this or just delete and i will make a new thread in th share your shot

How did you get it so the camera dident "see" you?

[grantcarlin]

because its on a exposure of 30 seconds im never in the same place for more than about 2-3 secs so it doesnt have time to capture me

I don't really have a critique for either photo other than I think the first would have been more effective without the pattern on the floor. Also, it looks like you've painted a ghost in the air which is a neat effect, but I'm not sure it works in that hallway. I would've perhaps chosen to use a more industrial scene which would change the mood entirely. Still, this is just my own personal preference. I like what you've done.

Can I ask what kind of light you used? Small LED?

Yeah but when i tried it with out it being pitch black i could see a ghost of myself in some spots.

[amy-rose]

what kind of flash light do most use for this?

The first one is great! I like the glow and colors of the room in the second one but the scribble is not what I would consider a subject.

That will happen when you stand in one spot and just move your arm. If you move your entire body around the scene you'll invisitate yourself.

p.s. Please feel free to use and spread the new word "invisitate", so that I might have a chance at being able to say I created a word the got into the dictionary.

Thank you.
