It's not Photoshop my dear John. I can send you the photo and the film. Also
the lens was not dirty.

I hoped to get serious answers from this group. But as usual when I post to
this group, I get flames and bad answers. But I don't care a shit. I also
posted my pics to the group alt.folklore.ghost-stories and from there, I got
many positive and interesting answers.

>I cannot imagine anyone here taking Joker very seriously.

You are wrong my dear. Maybe you don't take me seriously. But 20'000 people
take me very seriously. Just look in my guestbook. If you don't take me
seriously, that's your problem. I DO NOT POST LIES! Why should I? I just
post true facts. But I know, my facts are not always easy to handle,
especially for people who cannot think in 3 dimensions.

Don't jerk me around on this photo thing Joker, I do professional photograph.
I am also a part time dealer of used cameras and collector of Leica cameras.
I use 35-mm and medium format cameras. I have been active in photography for
45 years and I do all my own black and white printing. I can tell you dozens
of ways to put ghosts in prints. There are other image manipulation programs
besides photoshop. Even simple programs usually contain air-brush or spray
paint. In the dark room the effect can be achieved with a tiny flash light
fogging the printing paper, or cotton balls and bleach. Or you could sandwich
two negatives together, one of the scene and one clear smudged with some paint
or whatever. If you really want a good ghost effect. Photograph a model with
gruesome make-up against a flat black background and then sandwich the neg.
with the neg. of your scene. This will give you a more believable ghost. These
are just a few of the ways it can be done. I just mentioned Photoshop as the
easiest and most logical explination as you seem to be OK with a computer but a
neophyte with a camera.

If you are not the author of this anomaly I suggest you demand your money back
from your photo finishers and find a better on, as they have damaged your
negatives and/or prints. If you took these with a digital camera it may be
defective.

You might also want to familiarize your self with international law and
treaties concerning copy write infringement.

John
P. S. it could also be you spilled beer on your flat-bed scanner.

accidentally. lili

Finally a radical cure has been found for the type of crap this boy
passes. One take a ham shank, inserts it in anus, withdraw bone. After
the re-bushing the crap only comes in dribbles.

Me thinks he should write a 'Dear John' to the NG. I for one would be
willing to spend the extra couple of bob to toast him with the spirit
of the Lion.

My dear boy, long before computers came on the general scene I studied
photography as a hobby. Back in the dark days when you were just a
gleam in your mothers eyes and a twitch in your fathers gonads, I was
doctoring both negatives and final prints. Amazing what one can do in
a darkroom with good equipment, even doctoring, re-photographing and
producing a quality negative. Ghosts are the easiest of all to produce
using two negatives and timing exposures, or using a mask.
