Hi Alex,
I hadn't seen that image before, but I can see why you would be reminded of it.
It looks spectacular - but might have been a bit more difficult to replicate under basic editing ;-)

Thanks Giles
I certainly had all those old movie/theatre illusion methods in my mind. A great source of ideas when trying to do things the old fashioned way (i.e. without Photoshop!)

For those curious on the set up, google "Pepper's ghost", its the name of the technique. Its like the ghost you see at the haunted houses. :)

Amazing technique, hard for me to even figure it out mentally. What I'm having trouble figuring it out, is the 45 degrees to the lens axis. It sure looks like it is practically perpendicular to the lens axis. Congrats!

Fantastic! We're sure to see this on the front page (not that I have any paranormal predictive powers). Love the lighting & composition and this illusion is particularly impressive for basic editing. I have a couple of guesses, but I do hope you'll share with us how you achieved this.
Photographer found comment helpful.
04/16/2008 08:06:36 PMPost actions
Fabulous .... apart from that wonderful spirit/soul/apparition with it's gorgeous colour, I love that you desaturated the face.
If I HAD to pick on something, I'd say the mouth is a little TOO open.
Can't wait to find out exactly how you did this in basic editing.
Perfect for this challenge. My pick of the bunch. 10.
