Short notice, I know. I’m going to be at Floyd Lamb State Park this afternoon about 1 PM walking around, taking photos. Anyone want to join me just for the walk and conversation? Las Vegas SGs & SGHs: anyone want to come join me and do a spontaneous fashion/casual wear photoshoot?

@hiptobes I was using a 20x neutral density filter (I may have stacked an 8x ND filter with the 20x on this shot... don’t remember) to darken everything to try and get the Milky Way galactic core to appear in my photo before it set even though there was still quite a bit of light still coming from the horizon after the sun set. The ND filter let me take a very long exposure, in this case, 28 seconds. I never did get the Milky Way. Anyway, during this 28 second exposure, someone walked into the shot, stayed for a second or two, then left, leaving a ghost image. Perhaps this is how people say they have photographic proof of ghosts?

I have heard the term "double exposure" used quite a lot to explain ghost photographs so it's very possible, either way it's a spooky image.
