Actually i tried many shot for this. But I realized that its not that much easy.

My aim was giving a ghost hands in long exposure and the hardest part was - i shouldnt move any point of my body, while moving my hands- and i needed to hold them stable for awhile just for having a transparent hands.

Waiting critiques from you for better results.

Have a great day to you all!! :)

Hi Elif
I can imagine how many shots you tried - trial and error. I think you got it almost perfect here. The hands definitely look very ghostly and it works beautifully against your neck and shoulders, which are clear and sharp.
Excellent work
Rew

a wonderful work Elif.

Iwhat have been beter, more focus on your face, it would have suggesed your idea better, IMO.

but still, it's a very emotional photograph.And by speaking about tech, you distract me from it's original beauty:)), erase that not, lOL:))))))))))

Merhaba Elif,

Cok güzel fotograf ;)

Maybe you can work with layers Elif to create the same effect with less blur...I don't know if it works but maybe you can try it. My compliments for your work :D

Güle güle,

J.

Merhaba Elif.
Başarılı bir deneysel çalışma, ellerin belli-belirsiz görünüşü bu çalışmanın başarısını kanıtlıyor.
İyi iş çıkarmışsın, ellerine ve yüreğine sağlık.

Merhaba Elif
Hareket hissi kuvvetli güzel bir portre çalışması
Portlere Siyah Beyaz çok yakışıyor bencede
eline gözüne sağlık

super composition and underexposure.
I like the little motion blur...
A succesfull selfportrait.

Merhaba Elif!
I like the idea.Very good work.

Merhaba Elif,
çok güzel bir çaışma olmuş. bunu denemem lazım. ellerin belli belirsiz görünmesini sağlaman oldukça zor bir iş. kaç kerede bu görüntüyü sağladın. inanılmaz hoş tebriker.

What better results ? Splendid job, Elif... very stable body & head in a 3 sec exposure. Hands are nicely captured too. The remote control with a 2 second delay could come in handy in this kind of shot...
Well done, TFS

Dear Elif..so good to know you are again among us.
Your photo..do you mind I enjoy this in silence?
Just know its a jewel

John

nicely done. The lighting is very good as is the pose. The ghoset hands worked well. You could have also taken two exposures one with the hands & one without & pieced them together.

The face is a little aout of focus. Altough it is a great image, with those difuminated hands giving its title. I like it a lot.

Merhaba Elif Hanım,
Kompozisyon kurgusu, çekim, hazırlanış ve sunum olarak 4/4 lük bir çalışma.Tebrikler.

I like very much your work!

Good result for this difficult shot. I did it in the past with flashlight. Putting the camera at "bulb" and using the light to paint the part of the body layer by layer. It's easier to avoid the blur coming with too long time of exposure.

That's an idea, but you will need an assistant to do it.

Hi Elif,
Yes its not easy if you are the model. Try a longger espossure. Or if you have a shutter release, you can try to shot few picture with different hands position and mix them in PS.
Btw this is great result.

Hi Elif,
What a great composition is this! Its almost magic. A very well idea worked out briljant!

Silent anticipation gene yanlış yazmadıysam oydu adı aynı gun cekmiş oldugunuz zaten exif bilgilerinden anlaşılıyor.Fotograftan benim çıkardıgım bitsede gitsem havası oldu. Suratınızda biraz sıkıntı ifadesi var.daha iyi sonuclar elde etmen icin benim verebilecegim teknik bir bilgi bulunamamakta uzgunum. Still life tarzı fotograflarda daha basarılı buluyorum sizi.Kendi kendine modellik yapmak zor oluyo keske bir model uzerinde calışabilme sansınız olsaydı. Ayrıca fotograflarınızda reklam iceri hissediliyor. Sanki kenarına koşesine bir sey yazılsa bide markanın amblemleri gozukse tam olacak. Ama zaten sizin mesleginiz buydu sanırım tam emin olmamakla birlikte iyi calışmaklar diliyorum tekrar goruşmek dilegi ile .

Good try my friend! i like the BW drama in this portrait & multiple hands simply like magic effect. motion blur is ok for me anyway.

best,

This is very beautifully done, Elif, but you are very good at this type of pictures - I really have to do some experimentation this winter...need to find the time. I really like your b&w conversion and the shadow of your hand as well as your pose is very sensual and well done. Your undone hair adds a lot to the sensual feeling. Excellent!

Oops...just ran out of green smile...

Very subtle details captured here with the hands dancing on your neck! Nice and sensual experimental picture! It is maybe a little bit out of focus but it is still a very good selfportrait! Tfs! Michel

Güzel bir iş çikarmışsın ortaya... O gizli el kimin acaba diyeceğim ama zaten gizli :) siyah beyaz etki güç katmış...eline sağlık...

the result is perfect Elif
the hands are visible and transparent and you very sharp
you did a great job
