Photographing Ghosts: An Idea to Eliminate False Ghost Pictures
After creating your own ghost hunting camera that is sensitive to both visible and
infrared light, it is now time to consider some fresh ideas on how you might use it. As
previously mentioned, we experimented with our Fuji Finepix 2300 digital camera. It is an
older model of only 2.3 megapixels, but it still can prove useful for ghost investigation.
We've mounted the camera on a tripod, to eliminate any slight camera movement while we
photograph. This should eliminate blurs, orange, haze, light bars and other strange
anomalies produced by lengthened exposure, if night time or enhanced brightness settings
of the camera are used. Also, we added to our tripod a clamp lamp with an incandescent
black-light bulb in place of the camera's flash unit. By eliminating the flash, dust near the
lens should not be photographed, while the black-light bulb allows us to maintain low-light
conditions. An infrared illuminator could also be used in place of our black-light set-up.

This photograph was taken with our camera in very low-light conditions. The black-light illuminator allowed our camera's eye to see in the darkness. |

Photographing Ghosts With Lengthened Exposure
The reason we are recommending the use of a tripod is so you can photograph utilizing a
lengthened exposure time by adjusting the shutter speed. Even though lengthened
exposure may be the cause of many false ghost pictures, we also feel there may be a
benefit to photographing haunted locations with this setting. Over the past few years, we
have been noticing that some ghost photographs containing apparitions were unwittingly
captured using a slower shutter speed. Of course we must mention that during the
operation of a camera using lengthened exposure, you must be certain no one walks in
front of it. Otherwise, you will photograph a see-through person that is not a ghost!

How do we lengthen the exposure time? Some digital cameras offer the option of
choosing exposure times in the settings menu. For cameras without this option, simply
adjust the brightness level up for low-light conditions. Sometimes, this might mean
adjusting your camera to a night time setting.
During ghost investigations, we suggest experimenting with allowing the camera to remain
still on a tripod, snapping photos using lengthened exposure in darkness. Use an
illuminator in place of the camera's flash. Taking photographs every few minutes, this
method should allow for an entire room to be properly photographed without false
anomalies or blurry images.
