Eric Rose said:Mongo, I had the same challenge and the technique I used to get the results I was after is to make two exposers on the same frame. Each naturally at 1/2 of the required exposure. One shot would be at a reasonable f-stop for sharpness and the next using a silk stocking or nylon over the lens. Depending on the highlights and SBR the effect can be quite mystical.
Cheryl Jacobs said:This image was printed while changing both the f-stop and the focus during exposure.
Cheryl,
That is a really amazing shot...How you come up with this stuff is way beyond me.
I'm not worthy!!!

David said:I used the aperture technique while using an 8x20 camera during a 1 1/2 hour shot of a cathedral interior. While I was taking the picture (at f45) a mass started. I opened the aperture to f9 (the largest available) for about 3 or 4 seconds. This gave a ghosted appearance of the people who would have otherwise never showed. This allowed a sense both of the ephemeral as well as the cathedral's greater permanence.
