first thing's first, This is not "Photoshopped". I know thats not going to be enough for some of the PB critics, so I will explain how I did it later. Foothill College is right behind my Dad's house, so while I was living there I would ride the campus so often the security guards knew me by name. Two of my good friends came by to ride with me one night, but instead of riding I decided to shoot, having this image in mind. Just after shooting this frame the cops showed up, but instead of kicking us out or worse, he watched for a while and wished us a good night. PHOTO NERDS: Alright, the ghosting effect IS NOT PHOTOSHOPPED, clear enough? It was done by making a long exposure (around the 2 second mark) and right as Dan rode thew the frame I popped the flash, and let the exposure finish up. So thats open camera shutter before dan enters the frame, wait until he's were I want him the pop the strobe then let the shutter close. Convinced?

 He used a flash on a long shutter speed. Derp. You can see on the left where the flash was placed because it's brighter on that side.
