\"Easter<\/a>

Easter Yellow Robin

Ghosting is an old term when it comes to wildlife photography. It refers to when there are two “images” of the subject in one frame. It is caused when shooting with flash using an shutter speed too slow so it captures the ambient light exposure of the subject along with the frozen image captured by the flash. The rule of thumb is, a subject has to appear in the frame for 1\/4 of the exposure time to register (100% to be captured completely). Now I’ve used ghosting creatively for wildlife for a long time. Prime example is to illustrate the drilling action of a woodpecker. Here’ in the rainforest at O’Reilly’s<\/a>, I’ve been trying it to communicate the activity of some of the birds, like this Eastern Yellow Robin. They are such a delightful little bird, but all so busy. In this case, shooting with the D5<\/a> \/ 300PF<\/a> \/ SB-5000<\/a>, I used ghosting to show its constant activity as it flits about the forest. Is it perfect? Na, I’m still working on it as it’s not an exact science as the light levels are constantly changing in the forest. But I keep working on it because otherwise, I’ll never get it perfect, or close to. But I do like using ghosting as an effect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
