   Gorgeous!!! I love the lighting on the lily. How did you get the “ghost” effect of the hand at the keyboard? Very neat effect! Thank you for sharing your beautiful work with us!

   Wonderful. The piano shot is very effective.

   Hi Janna!
   Wow. Incredible photos. I also want to know how you did the piano shot. You have me perplexed.

   Thank you all for your kind comments. Sam and Mara, that “ghostly hand” effect is created by setting the camera’s shutter to a slow speed, and by using a tripod to keep the camera steady during the long exposure time. I put my hand down in the picture, pressed the shutter release button, and then moved my hand sideways, which gave it that transparency. My hand didn’t stay in one place long enough for the camera to pick up all the light it needed — at least I think that’s what happened. Science isn’t my best subject.
