Four Seconds Of Life

This is a single image made with an exposure of 4 seconds. Thanks

for the Look and the Write!

I have to say I don't really understand it. It is very creative and unusual.

Outstanding image, the feelings of the movements for the dancers really adding a great interest to the appearance of this work and enhancing its composition.

Thank you my friend for sharing it and wishing you all of the best.

Hey Raymond, I imagine you fired your flash at the end of the exposer, if that's the case and since I assume a studio flash is involved my guess is that you had to trigger it manually? am I correct?  nice photo I like it.

Pretty close my friend... The strobes fired at the beginning of a 4 second exposure with the modeling lights creating the ghost figures. On a three count they 'assumed the position' and then took a second position and held it until they heard the shutter close. When doing this, I/we do it a number of times until I/we are satisfied with the result. Digital with its instant results certainly is easier to do this with than film. The end of my lesson for the day :=}

Creative and interesting; have got to try it myself :)

Good technique!

Superb, I love this one Raymond. If I may allow myself the smallest of critiques, the model in the front (sharp image) seems just a little small in proportion, but this takes nothing away from the exquisite photo that it is.
