Shooting with Slow Shutter Speeds

One can get some interesting images when using a slow shutter speed. Below are two images I made of myself.  I put my camera on a tripod and used my camera’s self timer feature.  I set my camera to shutter priority mode and experimented with different exposures. Some of my exposures were several seconds long! 


In this image I set my camera up inside a house on a tripod looking out through a window. I then set the self timer for 10 seconds ...ran outside ...waited for the self timer to activate ...and then ran!




This was not created in Photoshop! I achieved this ghosted appearance by moving around rapidly and then staying in the above position for a slightly longer time.
