Anyone wanting to do a tutorial on how to do the See through people/objects photos, I think it would be helpful for some people who don't know how it was achieved. I am thinking about past shots, and remember one from the childhood challenge here. Toys Change but the Child Remains
There was also one from the Lighting challenge by dimitrii Here. Memories of a romantic getaway.
There was also one in the pencil challenge, and I think I remember a discussion on it, I will try to find that.

Anyone that knows how this is done, feel free to leave a description, as I think it might help out the people who don't understand it, or don't think it can be done IN the camera legally.
I notice that that those 2 shots scored lower than I thought they should, and think it may be because people think it was done illegally. Thanks guys.

you can post it in here if you want for now, and then if you want, you (or I) could ask drew and lang if they want another tutorial, or how'd they do that.
Thanks for the response.

There is no real trick to this type of image. See my notes on Vintage FM for a quick rundown on the technique.

I can see how it can be done with your hand, but could a person move as fast as you moved your hand? Like when a whole person has the effect your hand did in 3 seconds.

There are two keys things to remember. First of all, as long as the subject remains in motion nothing will show up in the picture. For example, if you setup a 3 second exposure and then walk from one side of the frame to the other, you will not show up in the photo. If you move VERY slowly you may pick up some minor blur on the highlights (white t-shirt, for example) but thats about it. (If you get more than this then your picture is probably overexposed anyway. This technique obviously requires little light... You should experiment with your scene first to determine how many seconds you will need for a proper exposure... then dont expose any longer than necessary.)

Second, to freeze the the image and get the ghostly quality, stop at some point and remain as still as possible for a second or two (or three, etc...) Then, depending on your exposure time, you can either stay there until the exposure ends, or move on out of the frame.

Digital doesn't cost you to develop. So experiment, experiment, experiment!

hbunch7187,
Last night I posted a technique in this forum that I use and it performs very well and consistently. Basicly the same infor I posted on the 'sig.

I am surprised that there have been no hits. It is titled Single Shot Ghost. It is based an a technique that has been used for ever with film. There is no double exposure necessary. I will add a demonstration picture later.

I read your post and the technique is a rather less elegant version of several that have already been posted here. But thanks anyway!

I saw it too, but didn't have time to comment. Seemed like a clear explanation, though I've never tried it myself!
Sometimes, especially if you post something late at night (US time zones), a thread will "expire" and be replaced on the Home page by more recent posts, without most users having seen that it existed. If you think it was just not seen, you can locate it from the main Forums page; add a new entry to "bump" the thread back onto the active list for a while and see if anyone notices...
