Experimenting with Light.

When experimenting with light there are endless ways of going about it. Some mix fluorescent and tungsten, moonlight and flash, and many more! In my case I chose to mix tungsten outdoor lights in the background, as well as natural moonlight, since this was shot at night. To make the ghostly figures appear I used my third type of light, being a flash. Here is what it turned out like:

To accomplish this affect I set my aperture to f/6.3 with a shutter speed of 30 seconds. The long exposure allowed me to pop a flash about every three seconds, while my subject moved across the picture.

Overall I was able to accomplish everything I was looking to, with a lit background and ghostly figures. This has definitely been my favourite so far!
