The Ghost

[ynot]

Something very different for me, the photo itself and the processing. Would love suggestions on how to improve this. Was fun doing but hard getting right without a IR remote!

I like this a lot and not really sure how it could be improved maybe make the edges a tiny bit darker and foreboding?

Thanks Steve.

Maybe this should have been posted in a different forum? People and Portraits? Or Creative Photography?

With or without the 'ghost', excellent B&W.

Where is this - presumably somewhere on the LU?

The 'ghost' adds an ethereal feel to the shot giving it that little bit extra. Nice B&W conversion.

Liking the footprints here although I prefer to open up the larger version and get 'further inside the tunnel' to some extent by losing the blackness

The ghost is an optional extra imo

I love it but then I do love a good ghost photo and this is one of the better ones that I've seen did you get the ghost all in camera?

 

[SarahLee]

Oh wow !!!

I really, really like this.
As Martyn said, well worth opening up in Flickr to get the full effect of it but for me it's the ghost that makes the shot.

Very little I could suggest to improve it, although if I was really, really nitpicking I'd prefer the ghost to be positioned so that the one ceiling light isn't right on the side of his head. Fully appreciate how difficult that would be to line up though.

Fantastic creepy, atmospheric shot and a very accomplished B&W conversion to top it off - well done

A very interesting and well processed photo. One of the best I have seen here.

I hate it because I didn't take it---- Great piece of work and well photographed.

Loving it

 

[ynot]

Thanks all.

There is more of the tunnel on show, just darkened in silver efex, maybe a little too much, thought one side being lit was enough.
Sorry Matthew, not sure what you mean, did I get the ghost all in camera?
Agree with the light on the head Sarah, but as you said, not too much can be done.

Oh spooky. I'm loving this!

I love this picture which software did u use

 

[GWR100]

You could move the light with the clone tool

Thanks all.

Looks great! gritty!!

 

[ynot]

Thanks.

I used silver efex to convert it to black and white and add a more gritty feel to it. No other software was used.

I hear you can do a lot with a cloning tool Geoff, but I wouldn't know where to start or trust my skills, or lack of.
