Form from cemetery in Charleston SC

My team member Anita snapped these pics at a creepy graveyard where the ghost tour ended we took. This is in Charleston Sc. She was using a higher end kodak easy share camera...and all these pics we took there looked really atmospheric for some reason. Some I took appeared the same way. I will try to post some of mine from the same area for comparison. Anyway I got to looking at this one really close and found something odd. I did not mark anything I want to see if anyone see the same as me. No one was in the graveyard it was surrounded by 8 foot iron fence with a locked gate.

Here is the original/Untouched unedited and full size. I am providing a direct link to it.

Here is a control shot...you can see it was taken directly after the above pic...again I am placeing a direct link to you...unedited/untouched full size

Here is the lightened version

Here is the lightened/cropped area in question

Here is one tinted/cropped

Here is a shot I took with my camera. I would be happy to post a link to the original full size unedited and untouched version of this pic if needed. I have a few other shots to I can post.

interesting photos I believe that one of the reasons why the color looks so distorted is due to the fact that the shutter speed was elongated so that image processor could capture enough light to expose the light in the photo. I don't know what that is that you are pointing out, but movement can create wierd things to show in the photos when using longer shutter speeds.

I see a creepy image to the right if the cross. This pic was took by one of my team...you are right Tim about the shutter speed. There was also a nightlight there that could have caused some of the weird coloring to. I think maybe she had her camera set on the low light setting as well.

i was just thinking that as well Tim. i tried my hand at slowing down the shutter speed with a function on my digital cam for low light. one has to stand still and really concentrate on the shot, in order for it to give it time to capture the scene.
i noticed these photos have shakiness to them. perhaps the person could not hold their shot long enuf? i don't know. there appears to be something there, but then again, it's not clear enuf to decide if that is due to the slower shutter speed or simply a light in the area causing distortions to appear.
interesting never-the-less! we certainly are learning!
that's why i prefer "control" shots. two or more of the same position to hold them for comparison.

spook

I believe any graveyard pictures should be looked at with a daytime control shot so many things look different at night but I DO see a figure that looks like its peeking from behind a tree back there.
