Challenge: Death (Basic Editing)
Camera: Canon EOS-1D Mark II
Lens: Tamron SP AF 28-75mm f/2.8 XR Di for Canon
Location: De Soto MO
Date: Dec 5, 2006
Aperture: 3.2
ISO: 400
Shutter: 15 seconds
Date Uploaded: Dec 5, 2006

 Taken in the dark long shutter 15 seconds apeture 3.2. Special thanks to my wife for braving the cold to help me with the remoter release. I was standing next to the grave for the first 9 seconds, she covered the lens, I ran out of the way she moved the cover and finished the exposure. Basic editing and away we go. I was iffy on the title but I hope it works for you all.

Alright dude freaky enough without the fact the first thing I seen was a childs face created by the subjects hand. If you don't see it at first distant yourself a bit from the monitor. Too wierd.

imo if the man was sitting where he has his leg up on the grave , this shot would have been more expressive.. also I guess its not of much help in basic editing but in advanced editing dodging the grave stone would have really made this shot stand out! Great attempt though!

Idea is overdone in my opinion.

yes. but not as ghosts, more as a new life and being a new person. nice long exposure. I like shooting at cemetaries, but not at night ;)

Yes I do, but I personally don't intend to hang around a gravestone but check the next maternity ward if there's some new body ready for me ;-) Your concept is well depicted.

Nicely taken. This is my top pick of the 'ghost' entries. Certainly should feature in the top 10
