Really enjoyable post, @tattoodjay. I love those dark and moody shots. The ghostly images of you are such a cool effect.
This made me laugh out loud:
I guess I could call this one I am fading away ( I wish that was true, I do need to get more exercise and eat better and loose some weight)
And this too!
And this next one taken at the port is what happens when you sneeze and bump the tripod during a long exposure
I've gotten that effect with people waving sparklers before.
Thanks glad you enjoyed it I do have some other ideas for some creative shots I hope to try soon
