I had a chance to take some morning shots at the National Cathedral on a day that they allowed tripods and access to photographers before the public.
After shooting the main area I went down the old stairs to the lower crypts. There is just hallway lights and flash I don't think is allowed so I tried a few slow shutter speed shots to get the depth of field I wanted. I was pretty sure after a few shots that I wanted to convert these to B&W.
Then somebody came down the stairs and I got the idea of trying to capture some ghost like images on the stairs. By luck a school group came down the stairs shortly thereafter so I had a chance to take multiple shots.
So I have a shot of Ghosts on The Crypt Stairs.
Tripod, 70-200mm lens @ 70mm, 5 sec exposure.
