A tripod and slow shutter speeds helped lend a ghostly effect to these holiday skaters.

Unfocused and not by accident. This is talent. And these are beautiful. My shot was, by contrast, completely unintended and the result of my fairly basic cell phone: http://designhouse9.wordpress.com/2012/05/04/then-again-by-diane-keaton/ I guess it’s a good thing I didn’t have my usual camera. 🙂

Hi there … and thank you!
First impression: otherworlldly. If you hadn’t described the scene, I would have continued to think: scene from Star Wars. Cool!

Hya Stephen – seeing as there hasn’t been an official weekly photo challenge this week, I’m stepping up and throwing down a challenge for anyone who’s interested. http://wheresmybackpack.wordpress.com/2012/05/12/reflections/
I’d love you to join in – the more the merrier. Pass it on. xxx
Hi … and thanks for the invite to your photo challenge. I’m travelling right now, and I have spottu access to the Internet and my photo archives. I have some excellent shots that reflect the Reflections theme, so I’ll be sure to post an entry when I get home on Wednesday.
Looking forward to seeing your photos, Stephen. Happy travels!
Great photos
