Now, this was a fun image to make. First we need an old shirt because we want to cut it in the back inorder to get the hands through the sleeves. We then take pins and secure shirt and vest to a screen which the cats have rendered useless at bottom with tears and hairs. We make two cuts here and then I go behind screen and put hands through muslin screen and shirt. I did a few takes alone but I needed my wife to snap the final to get good alignment and positioning.
Well, she freaked out when I put my hands through, so much so that she asked me to look at her do it. She gets behind and puts hands through and yes, it looked real spooky. Like a transformation as the dangling sleeves take life.
The lighting is frontal side lighting with enough back lighting to bring out the silhouette. The great fun is my reward here.

another "trademarked" photo from you, Dan.
Great work - after reading your comments on the image, I can imagine, yes, it must have been spooky to see the sleeves come to life!
Thanks Dan, It's amazing you did it the old fashioned way. I was sure you'd done like a double exposure type of shot. Your execution is spot on, congrats to you and your wife.
I'm not sure why this didn't ribbon... oh well. True, there were other marvelous shots up in the top ten.
Still,
Always a pleasure watching your work, Daniel!
This photo made me laugh; I like it! This represents how I feel sometimes after submitting a photo to a challenge! "Off with his head!!!" Not in your case though, this is great! I do hope you'll explain how it was done! 8o)
I would recommend that you get this validated, cause it's a super image and you don't want people voting it down because they they think it's against the rules...awesome image tht should ribbon if you are within the rules...
Brilliant! It don't take a genius to know who the photographer is if you seen his work. Great job graphicfunk you keep taking creativity to new levels. 9
