Woohooo! A candy stealer Christmas Ghost has been revealed on Christmas Eve! :-) White Balance was set to indoor lights, I used the camera's noise reduction function. 10 second delayed releaser (I had to crawl in position), exposure for 3 seconds with face and hand, 3 more seconds without my hand, 2 seconds without me at all. :-)
PhotoShop: crop, level 80, selective colour adjustment: neutral/black -15%, saturation: red: +20, yellow: +10, green: +50, cyan: -100, blue: -100, magenta: -100, border. Smudge tool for the eye to get rid of the bit moved in effect and brush to make some annoying pixels disappear. |

| This is an interesting idea but the ghost seems off to me. Not sure if she moved during her time in the frame because while she has the see through effect it seems blurrier than others that I've seen, seems it should be slightly more defined. The cropping of the shot also leaves me off just a bit, that branch that goes out of the shot in the upper left doesn't sit quite right for some reason. And she's almost in the tree it seems, really, really close. Maybe is she was back a little further, reaching for the candy? A 4 to start, going to a 6 |

| The wrapped candy on the tree is a Hungarian tradition. Is that the case here!? Nicely done. |

I enjoy these long exposure shots and have done a few myself.
Black Hole-Dreams and Nightmares
I like the splash of red and her expression. Neat capture. |
