That's my 7-year-old nephew standing to one side of the dining room in this 18th century castle at Fort Niagara.

The photo was taken with my infrared-converted D60. I just bought this camera from someone over at FredMiranda.com, and am having loads of fun with it.

This is cool. The child certainly has that "did I just see something?" look on his face. Great light, and the B/W works well.

What I liked: The image itself is intersting. I like the black and white.

What I didn't like: Not sure what's supposed to be in focus. It seems a little soft to me, overall.

COOL! A ghost of a tourist child! It looks almost real...

The little guy looks like he's ready to jump out of his skin at the first sign of ghosts... Priceless capture.

Pretty setting, but a sharper focus would've helped the picture.

Feels a bit out of focus and a the lighting seems a bit flat - just doesn't create an eerie atmosphere like I'd want it to.

This would have been good if you could have gotten that transparent effect on the little boy. I like the b/w.

Nice idea, too bad we don't really feel the "haunted" part of the house. Maybe a ghost here or there would have done the trick. 6

I have no idea what those apparations under the candelabra are but this would be better if the boy in the phtoto looked ghostly.

What makes this image haunted? I see some abberations near the chandelier but I'm not getting a haunted feeling.
06/28/2006 10:03:50 AM
Doesn't sell to me that it is haunted or even all that spooky. To me just a kid in a room. Even looks like something around his neck, which makes him look touristy. At least the effects round the chandeler are nice.
