Weekly Photo Challenge – Eerie
I thought I would use a photograph that I had used before for this challenge.
I had a beautiful shadow from the blinds shining onto the wall so I set up my camera on the tripod, set it to a 30 second long exposure and had my daughter walk through the frame very slowly, stopping every now and again for a few seconds. This was the result. Quite an eerie scene but one of my favorites.

very clever and because I’ve been on a course today i even understand what you’re about 🙂
Oh you will be at it all the time then, I love messing about with long exposures, as long as you get the aperture and exposure right you can have lots of fun. I look forward to seeing some of your slow shutter shots then. 🙂
guess I’ll need to but a tripod… and hire a child 🙂
You will definitely need a tripod, the child is optional. I have been trying to persuade my better half to pose for me for some spooky long exposures but he is a little reluctant just yet… Soon though mwahaharr. 🙂
Yes well I imagine he would be thinking ‘floodgates!!!!’
HA ;-D

The way you describe taking this photo makes me want to go to photography lessons and buy a better camera!
You don’t need lessons or a fantastic camera, honestly. There are SO many free courses, blogs and information onlline and I self taught over a few years using just that and magazines (I do tend to get obsessed though… lol). Once you crack aperture, exposure,shutter speed and lighting you are away. This was taken with a Nikon D3000 that was a couple of hundred quid in the sales. I just took one thing I wanted to crack and concentrated on that for weeks at a time. I bet you are loads better than you think as well.
I think (I hope) I have taken some good shots with my “holiday snap” camera or iPhone but I’d like to see what was possible with something better and some more knowledge…
Go for it, I often go back to basics with my phone or compact camera because I think you have to, but to be honest I have grown with my journey since I got my first SLR. I shall be sure to check your blog out. 🙂
Thanks, I’d appreciate you looking at my photos and giving your opinion.
I really like this!
Thank you very kindly 🙂

I love that Image~! Dammit, I keep forgetting that one can be creative with a camera—I use mine mostly for taking records (face it, I haven’t a clue how to use all the lovely gadgets and things)(old dog, new tricks …)
Sepia … how’d it go in black and white?

Really cool effect! Like your choice in color for it.
Quite a disturbing effect, actually.
Okay … you win. I’m going to follow (it doesn’t happen often, less than dozen times in all these years).
