All Is Revealed ....

Thankyou to all who had a guess at how i did

the ghost effect in this photo ...

So - how did i do it ??

I set my camera on my tripod -

and took this photo first ...

Then took the same photo again -

with myself in - using an infra red

remote control . Thankyou Sherry - for commenting

on my skirt too ! It`s very rare i wear one , i`m more

of a trouser person ;o)

Next i used a photo editing programme -

i have Serif Draw plus 6 - although i

have just got photoshop - i know it`s

a massive programme to learn and i

still have to look into it yet .

I imported the first photo , then the one

with myself in - lined it up to match ,

clicked on a transparency tool for the top photo

and hey presto done !!

Pretty easy to do - although you wouldn`t

think so reading it . There could be another way -

for eg - cutting around myself and placing me

there - but this was the easier option for me

and i knew how to do it !!

So who has won then ...

A few suggested me using a programme ,

correct - but here is the winning comment :

Wow, amazing photos Carolyn, and I just love you as a "ghost" :)

If I was going to do that I would probably have taken two photos,

one with and one without myself, then layered them in a graphics program.

I would then fade the one with myself on using an Opacity I think it's

called so you can almost see through me. Best guess,

but you may have done it another way :)

Congratulations LYNN !!!

A lucky friend of mine - and i had the honour of

meeting her last year when she visited here in the UK .

She has just celebrated 29 years of marriage -

way to go !!!! Who wouldn`t love a man who

loves to cook for you - and clean up as well !! ;o)
