 Taken at the oakleigh Memorial Cemetery. I wanted to try a 'Ghost' image, at night in the Cemetery and this seemed to be the challenge to at least try it. Only one visit from the local cops for a person wandering amoungst the graves at night..........

I was in the photo for about half the exposure, and then quickly moved out of frame to get the ghost image of my body.

PP in CS2.

Think this may have been even better in b&w. Nice capture.

Seems he doesn't realize he too has passed....I can see through him.
The shot is nice, though I wish there was more darkness.

The double exposure effect is something that can be improperly used, but this image demonstrates it's use to compliment the deep and rich detail and tones. A non-standard look at a difficult time in a life. Dramatic and effective. Well done.
