"The ghost ship moves on the horizon
No one knows from whence she came
And no one knows whence she goes"
Yvonne Mason
After I set up the black backdrop studio kit & turned off lights. I fired the flash speedlight inside a light stencil & then shook the EL wire. I thought it was easy to do. It wasn't. After many tries, I finally figured out to do it right. Need to practice more before I go outside making ghosts. :)
While in Australia's Red Centre in 1988, my wife and I went in search of the iconic "ghost gums" that would have originally featured in the famous artwork of Albert Namatjira. We ended up taking a shot of this magnificent tree by the edge of the highway west of Alice Springs. Amazingly, although we didn't realise it at the time, we didn't miss the original trees by very much as they were just a little further down the road and are just visible in this shot. But, this tree was such a magnificent tall ghost gum, we just had to take the shot of it.
This site is about 16 kilometres west of Alice Springs on Larapinta Drive. The surrounding countryside is just magnificent to see.
This colour slide was scanned with a Canon R10, 24-240 zoom lens with Nisi close up attachment. Cool white LED backlighting.
Original camera was a Pentax Zoom 70 using Kodachrome 100 colour slide film.
This is a young ghost crab, no larger than maybe two centimetres!
I spotted it on a night walk along the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia with my family and three dogs.
I used my two extension tubes that I luckily brought to get this magnification and had to get really close.
Those blue eyes are simply incredible, don't you think?

Another ghost rider shot, but this time with a different composition and perspective.
One thing that I love about photography is that sometimes things just show up in your viewfinder that you absolutely don't expect ....
The area of Pescadero Point known as Ghost Tree derives its name from the white and gnarly local cypress trees in the area which call to mind ghosts or witches. Foresters predict that the few still living cypress trees will soon join their ghostly brethren due to a blight of beetles that will kill much of the cypress and pine in California over the next 20 years.
Legend tells of a particular spooky tree in the bunches that graces the coastline of swanky Pebble Beach. Supposedly the image of a “Lady in Lace” has often been spotted on dark foggy nights near the famed Ghost Tree, upsetting the motorists who are said to have seen her walking down the center of the 17 Mile Drive.
Ghost Ranch, Abiquiu, New Mexico, was originally the summer home of the artist Georgia O'Keefe but she eventually moved there permanently. These hills and rock formations were a continuing inspiration to her and are often represented in her paintings.
This view is from the Ghost Ranch Visitor Centre
You can see some of her paintings here
If you are familiar with the work of Ansel Adams you may recognise this photo of Georgia O'Keefe

Ghost Town
The Specials
This town (town) is coming like a ghost town
All the clubs have been closed down
This place (town) is coming like a ghost town
Bands won't play no more
Too much fighting on the dance floor
Do you remember the good old days before the ghost town?
We danced and sang, and the music played in a de boomtown
This town (town) is coming like a ghost town
Why must the youth fight against themselves?
Government leaving the youth on the shelf
This place (town) is coming like a ghost town
No job to be found in this country
Can't go on no more
The people getting angry
Headed into the city this morning with the promise of fog, and it didn’t disappoint. Fog Central.
This is taken from just outside Luna Park at Milsons Point, and for those not familiar with Sydney, if you look really closely, you can just see the Harbour Bridge trying to make itself visible in the distance.
The Opera House is in the frame too, but no chance of seeing it with the fogmageddon event.
Hope you like “Ghost Town”
Cheers, Mike
After a long time without shooting, I tryed yesterday some old experiments, in my original test, over than 20 years ago, I used my 35mm Canon, but HP don't provide yet the W7 drivers for my scanner (@#$%) and with one old aquarium and some milk and red watercolour.
Some settings, saturation, contrast, light and black was added.
Funny.

I don't know the history behind this and other sculptures as you enter the ghost town of Rhyolite, NV, but this one caught my eye. I grunged it up for Sliders Sunday. HSS!
This photo sparked a little debate among photographer friends: if everything is out of focus, is it still photography? And if that's not photography, what is it? Some liked it very much, others not at all.
But for me that is part of photography: breaking the rules intentionally and questioning them. For me the eye still has got a fixed point despite the blurring. This blurring leaves a lot room for interpretation. It reminds me a little bit of a magician walking towards the light with his cloak blowing. I don't know why, it was just my first thought.
What do you think about? Is it still photography?

Dieses Foto hat unter befreundeten Fotografen eine kleine Debatte ausgelöst: Wenn alles unscharf ist, ist das dann überhaupt noch Fotografie? Und wenn das keine Fotografie ist, was ist es dann? Einigen hat es sehr gut gefallen, andere konnten damit überhaupt nichts anfangen.
Aber für mich gehört das zur Fotografie dazu: Auch mal absichtlich die anerkannten Regeln zu brechen und diese zu hinterfragen. Zumal das Auge für mich trotz der Unschärfe einen Fixpunkt hat und grade diese Unschärfe doch viel Spielraum für Interpretationen lässt. Mich erinnert das ein wenig an einen Magier der mit wehendem Umhang in Richtung Licht läuft. Wie ich darauf gekommen bin, weiß ich nicht, das war einfach mein erster Gedanke.
Wie seht ihr das? Ist das noch Fotografie?

~Today I'm kinda feelin' like a ghost,
Call my friends but ain't nobody home,
Tell myself I'm fine but I don't really know,
I'm just scared that I'll end up, I'll end up, I'll end up alone.
I never let it show,
But I feel like a missed call on a phone,
Tryna live my life, pay-as-you-go,
But I'm so scared that I'll end up, I'll end up, I'll end up alone.
You know I'm like a ghost,
Sometimes I have to fade,
And it haunts me that I have to be this way,
You say it's gone cold, I say I'll do better,
But I always seem to disappear again.
You know I'm like a ghost, I see it in your face,
And it haunts me that I have to be this way,
You say it's gone cold, I say I'll do better,
But I always seem to disappear again,
You know I'm like a ghost...
You know I never meant to cut you off
Got phantom feelings I can never solve
Stranger things to worry 'bout, I know
But I'm so scared that I'll end up, I'll end up, I'll end up alone.
Can't see myself in the mirror,
Does that mean I'm not really here?
I'm losin' touch with everything I know,
And I'm so scared that I'll end up, I'll end up, I'll end up alone.
You know I'm like a ghost,
Sometimes I have to fade,
And it haunts me that I have to be this way,
You say it's gone cold, I say I'll do better,
But I always seem to disappear again.
You know I'm like a ghost, I see it in your face,
And it haunts me that I have to be this way,
You say it's gone cold, I say I'll do better,
But I always seem to disappear again,
You know I'm like a ghost~

Hey!
Dicky Beach, Qld, Australia.
I call this one **Ghost Ship 2**
I shot this image of the SS Dicky (R.I.P) with the Milky Way above it last May.
It's one of my fav shots so I gave it a re-edit and a nice cooler tone, the previous one was a warmer orange colour compared to the cooler blues in this one.
I've been going through old images and re-editing them since my style has changed a lot over the last year.
I hope you like this one, Thanks for looking!
