How I Did It

Name: Ian Parry
Title: Hide and Seek
Location: a gothic graveyard in the UK countryside
How I did it: I was playing with an idea of ghostly images in a churchyard inspired by the Bruce Willis film "The Sixth Sense." My little boy has that blonde "midwich cuckoo" look, so I took him to a churchyard in Derbyshire while on holiday and got him to run around. I love spinning the camera off its axis, filling the frame in different ways. I used my Nikon D1X with a long lens f4 (I think), deliberately focusing on the foreground to make him softer and adding to the mystery, and ramped up the contrast in PhotoShop. There is a strange white blur on his shoulder, but I really don't how I got that. Spooky, huh!
