Chica at the Photo Projectz blog issued the following challenge:

I want no use of natural light, no use of flash, and no use of any big lamp lighting. use any other creative lighting you can find, be it a flame, a laser, or a flashlight. Whatever you can think of.

Here’s my fairly lamo attempt at a no light style photo. I set the shutter on 30 second exposure and used a small hand held red light to trace a vague outline of my body. I like the ghost like effect and tried to scare my 10 yo with this photo. I told her I was taking pictures of stars outside and when I downloaded my photos, this appeared. She bought it hook line and sinker. She loves a good ghost story and immediately got on the phone to tell others.

I had to finally fess up to my trick cause she was becoming too scared to go to sleep by herself in her room tonight .
