Ghost Pictures

Just for kicks, we decided to experiment with an action photo when we were taking our family pictures the other day.  Since I had my camera on a tripod, I knew I could set it to leave the shutter open a little longer, and capture the blur of the kids running around us.  (I'd seen this done before, don't give me too much credit.)

We experimented first with just Glenn in the middle.  I discovered if I left the shutter open too long, the kids looked like ghosts!

Not bad.  It's pretty tricky to get the timing just right with your camera on self timer.  The kids just ran the entire time it was counting down and we hoped for the best!  It was fun.  It's nice to have a family who cooperates with my crazy plans!
