Slow Shutter Speed

I wanted to use this technique for long time. The shutter opened in bulb mode in pitch dark room with black cloth in the backround. I said 1..2..3 and my wife is ready in the first pose, I fired the flash. Again the darkness prevails in the room when she change pose and come into second position. Again I said 1...2...3, fired the flash. So both poses from my wife is recorded on the single frame.

Manual Mode with Shutter in "Bulb" mode, Aperture 8.0, and ISO 100. You need to have focus set to manual while lights are on before turning off alll the lights and realase the shutter.

PP:

Healing and cloning to remove crease from the black background. Image resize to 800 pixels width. Save for web.

Shailesh,

Very creative photograph. Photograph is justifying the theme. Both photographs are very good.

This type of photography always encourages for more experiment.

I am not sure it is resolution of my machine or what, but could see backside curtain crease in first photograph, of two images. It is not showing if you view the photograph at eye level. But the crease is visible when you look photograph from upper level. Means, photograph is below eye level.
