Ghost in Miami Beach

Do not confuse that for a ghost - it's just the girl's soul catching up with her.

for reals.

The girl in the picture and the imagine are both one and the same person. Look closely. It is undeniable. The "ghost" image - the girl's soul - is enjoying a moment of true existence, a moment of no falsehoods or denials. It wished to stay there just a bit longer than the body. Digital technology allows us to record almost all moments. In this particular case, perhaps a mere nanosecond.

Nano- generally indicates one billionth of a unit. Hence, a nanosecond is one billionth (1/1,000,000,000) of a second. Although such a unit is too small to have much meaning on the everyday human scale, it’s useful in timing electronic actions, such as those that take place within a computer.

Within the high-tech realm, however, the prefix is not always to be taken literally. For example, a nanocomputer is not one billionth of a computer. It is a computer using circuitry so tiny that it is invisible to the naked eye and can be seen only with the help of a microscope. Such circuitry is made by manipulating materials on the molecular level.

Oh, and btw, it's Dr. Campos now. lol!!! for reals! lol lol lol!!!

Not a ghost, or the girl's soul, simply an artefact from the one second exposure and rear curtain sync flash.

Yes, it's when the flash fires at the end of an exposure rather than at the beginning. Imagine the camera's shutter as being two curtains one behind the other. Before you press the shutter, the front curtain is closed and the rear curtain behind it is open. When you press the shutter, the front curtain opens very quickly exposing the camera's sensor or film. At the end of the exposure, the rear curtain closes quickly, covering the sensor or film again. Normally, the flash is synchronised to the first curtain opening, but a lot of cameras allow you to choose rear curtain sync, which fires the flash in synchronisation with the second curtain closing.

Most digital point and shoot cameras don't actually use a curtain shutter like this, but instead simply turn on the sensor at the beginning of the exposure, then turn it off at the end, but the term carried over from SLRs which use the technique above.

On another note - I'm glad you liked my photos of Tavernier enough to use them in your blog.

Thank you. I don't get my stuff blogged very often, so it was nice to see.
