Now THAT is scary. :D

Lol...I guess you used your new software to do that? It's pretty neat the things you can do with transparency and cutouts.

Cool! What software do you use?

Jack McDonnell said...

Actually....No software was used for this special effect....total camera settings and tricks!

Try to figure that one out! :o)

Wow...now that is a tough one. I would have to say you took two seperate pictures with the camera in the same place but other than that I'm really confused since I have no idea how you could get the door to show through.

Double exposure maybe?

My sister has been working with some of that in her photography class at PCC. Pretty neat!

Good guess Beth Ann, but not quite...

What I did was set the camera on a tripod for firm support...and I set the shutter speed at about 3.2 I think (roughly three seconds)

When the camera flashed the first burst...I counted one second and stepped out of the picture to leave Elizabeth fully exposed..but since the camera saw the door behind me...it had to include that in the picture as well! Pretty neat, huh? (I found it out by accident! :o)

Pretty clever...

I really thought you did it with editing software since it looks just as good...speaking of which, how come you didn't notice that guy standing down the tracks a ways when you took your senior picture? :D

I guess you were referring to this train weren't you Liberty : http://www.treksoftware.org/Graphics/Train.jpg

Jack must have been pretty brave just to stand there for that picture before quick jumping off the tracks. :D
