It's Halloween, so I thought I'd show your some ghostly photos I took this year.

The first was taken from the banks of the Fox River north of Algonquin. This was a time exposure without a tripod. I held the camera pretty still, didn't I?

We can see the wake.

But where's the speedboat?

This next was taken on Paul Capiro's Family PAC cruise. When I took the photo, all I could see was black on the digital screen.

What you see below is what happens when a bit of light is added:
  

Now, here is the tall ship sailing off into the night with a lot of light added.
  I don't remember seeing a tall sailing ship with this many masts before and am glad that I found a way to see on this screen what we saw in person as it sailed off into the night on Lake Michigan.
