I apologise that it has been a bit of a ghost town here for the past few days. An impromptu trip to visit my mum on mothers day meant that I didn't have time to post anything here. I still haven't prepared anything yet so I thought I'd throw this image up to illustrate the ghost town rather than simply leave the day blank.
This was taken with an old Agfa clack on ISO100 b&w film. There are only two settings plus bulb on the Agfa Clack and this was taken hand held using bulb - hence the ghosting.
No photoshop manipulation on this one!

I like the perspective in this photo when combined with the ghosting.

@Keny: Its not hard to do - just use a 2 or 3 second exposure and move the camera a little just before the end of the exposure, that way you end up with a strong image and a ghost. The ghost here has obscured the vanishing point of the converging lines, which, I think, makes it seem even more unworldly...
A very good effect is achieved.
