Angels weep at night, originally uploaded by LeggNet.

This capture was made at a local cemetery. I had the idea of making a photo with ‘spirit-like’ bodies and figured that this would be as good a setting as any. My daughters always seem to be up for my experimental photos and happily joined me on the nighttime photo excursion (as did Michelle).

Technical Note: The transparency of the ‘angels’ was completely done in camera using a 30 second exposure. I had the girls pose extremely still for the first 10 seconds of the exposure, then quickly exit the frame while the camera continued with the remaining 20 seconds. The diffusion was added in post-processing.
