Ghost Girls

digidrone

They mostly can be scared by their owns shadows and they really hate posing for me.
I couldn't resist after all the "I can feel something creepy" talk all day!



C&C most welcome!
Thanks for looking Enjoy!

Richard

Cool.

Very cool pic. I do wish there was a tad bit more detail in their forms, but then, ghosts don't really cooperate well in that regard, do they?

One thing I can see is that the image might need some straightening? Or is the house that crooked?

Another thing is that my eye really tends to wander down to the two doors instead of staying around the girls. Maybe some creative PP would help with that?

Even so - really cool. Perfect for the Halloween season ;-) OoooOOoOOOOoooOooOoooOOO ;-)

Richard, Kerri, Thanks for your comments much appreciated!
This was taken in the hotel in a ghost town in Mt.. The walls everywhere I shot seemed to have that problem maybe the town was trying to tell me something.....
I have thought about cropping the doors out but I keep expecting to see something or one walk into frame...lol
Any ideas for creative pping....more ghosts perhaps?

Agnieszka

Ha!

I'd add a ghost to one of the doors instead of cropping them out.

That's a great photo! I hope to get to that level one day.

way cool photo! Bet the kids think you are the coolest! or the strangest Maybe to give a little "life" to the door area you could put a brush stroke representing an orb? but that might take away from the kids? just thinking out loud....It's great the way it is!

Can you let us know how you did this exactly??? Its a neat effect.

Adam this is a basic 2 layer in PS or whichever program you use. I use photoplus x3 from across the pond !
1.Open as layer and copy so you dont damage original. Close original
2 Open the portrait or which ever you are wanting to make ghost. Select area around object. Copy
3. Paste as new layer, into background.
Desaturate image to taste
Resize as nessesary

In the layer blend option I used screen for this particular shot and set the opacity to 97%
Erase anything you are seeing that you dont like!
I then save as a TIFF so that I can get the project back into Lightroom to do final touch adjustments

This is just a quick dirty how to

I played around with this image after all the suggestions and came up with this:



As always C&C is welcome and appreciated
