 Yes, another glowy, floaty, blowy thing.

Alex: just good ol' elbow grease. I placed the camera on a tripod at the bottom of the stairs, set the shutter on delay, then ran up the stairs, grabbed the sheet, hid off to the side, and tossed it into the air hopefully at the same time the shutter clicked. Did that about 30 times before I decided that whatever I'd captured would have to do. This was the best of the lot. I like that it appears to have wings and legs, and the hall lamp could be the head. Or, as Marion noted, a halo :-)

Very little editing was done to this image:
convert from raw
straighten and crop
glamour glow
tiny bit of dodging
save for web

Do you really have that much wind?? I've been wanting to try a glowy floaty blowy thing, but sigh no wind... and my fan seems to hit one spot heavy and instead of floaty n blowy, it goes wooshy... LOL Congrats on another beautiful image!!

It's the flying lady at it again!
I like how the sheet almost looks like it has two legs in it!
