During the summer holidays I ventured down to the coast to Dromana (Victoria, Australia) with some family and friends. I gathered a group of people and took a nice stroll on the beach, with tripod and camera in hand, to play with long exposures.
I had my friends run around in front of the camera with phones on torch mode writing things in the air. Once they were finished I had them run out of shot. Due to the low light levels being reflected off my friends compared to their phones they are hardly noticeable in the images. I had my shutter speed set to 30 seconds, setting the aperture and ISO accordingly to expose the background to my liking.
To produce the ghostly image below I had them stand in one area for 8-10 seconds then move on to a new area and pose.
In this busy world I find it a must to take some time out and just do things because they are fun and enjoyable.
