"His goal in life was to be an echo."
For those wondering how I took this shot:
I propped my camera in the sand using the lens cap, as I often (stupidly) do and took a shot right after sunset at Cannon Beach using Haystack Rock and the moon as a background. I set the exposure to somewhere around fifteen seconds, while my friend Eric on the far right was standing still taking his own picture. I walked in front of the camera for a few seconds, then moved again, making the two other shadows.
If you like this picture, check out others immediately before and after in my photostream; I took a few like this.
After adding this to a couple of groups, this picture shot up to 186 on explore, and has been as high as 70. This is my second most popular photo
Thanks!

Its a very cool shot, the sence of perspective created by the "shrinking" person is excellent. Love the long exposures.

very nice :) I've tried this...numerous times, but the results just don't tend to be as interesting as this...it's the lack of beach, let's leave it at that :P

This is fantastic, seriously! I love the long exposure ghost shots, but I've never had such success with mine.
Great title, too... one of my favorite songs. "Remember to remember me..."
Bravo!

Really a very cool shot here. That's some of the best ghosting I've seen and the composition is perfect.
I'm an admin for a group called Box Full Of Letters, and we'd love to have your photo added to the group.
