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
