She might be a ghost.

Ha!

Is there a link to the original image somewhere?

Thanks andy,

The trail of the torch doesn't lag behind, it goes in a wavy line in front of the figure. Also, there is no motion blur in the figure of the person,
just that she is see-through where there is bright light behind her...

Does that shed any more light on it? (if you pardon the pun...?)

Jonathan,

I suspect that it depends on the camera. If yours has rear curtain sync built
in then
you could always slave a studio flash to the on-board flash.

The shot was made using rear curtain sync if the trail of the torch lags
behind the figure in motion.

Hello,

I've been asked to re-create a shot by another photographer for a job
tomorrow evening.

The picture is shot in a church (quite dark and lit with ambient light) and has a woman with a torch, who appears to have a ghostly quality about her (she is 'see-through' but frozen by a small amount of flash). I believe it has been shot using the 'rear curtain synch' mode, though I may be wrong.

My question is; can you only use rear curtain synch with on camera flash, or can you use it with studio flash, or even a combination of the two? Never really done much stuff with this technique and am a little nervous about it,
all help and tips gratefully received!

Cheers,

Jonathan.
