Capture ghost camera game

Shooting good Halloween photos, if you know how to meet the challenge of shooting after dark, can be a real treat, but taking a picture of a ghost to freak out your friends is a particularly fun trick. In the spooky spirit of the season, here are nine effects you can pull off with just your camera, computer, and a few accessories.

Since cameras only capture, well, things that actually exist, when you manage to capture a ghost or what looks like one it makes viewers do a double-take. Shooting a long exposure is an easy way to conjure up some spirits in your photograph, no Photoshop required. Set your camera up on a tripod, then set it to shutter priority mode. To create the ghost, you will need a long shutter speed — 30 seconds or more.

Everything that stays still in the photograph will look like a normal photograph, but anything that moves will look transparent and rather ghost-like. So, while the camera is recording that plus-second shot, move through the scene, in front of the camera —or enlist a friend to help — to create that ghost. Experiment with different props to create the look you are after.

This one requires Photoshop or another good photo editing application, but the trick can churn out some impressively creepy images. The way to create levitation photography is shooting the scene once without any props, then shooting it again using something like a step stool to place those levitating objects in mid-air.

To make the editing process easier, use manual mode so your exposure does not change between shots and a tripod so both images are taken from the exact same perspective. By using the clone stamp tool in Photoshop, it looks like a stamp in the toolbar , you can remove the object that the subjects are standing on, making them appear to float in thin air.

For more realistic levitation photos, enlist the help of a friend to hold any lightweight items, making them look like gravity is pulling down on them — like holding out the edge of a dress. Keep in mind, you will have to Photoshop that friend out too. Film ghosts were easy to create by exposing the same strip of film twice.

Many advanced digital cameras however now have a double-exposure setting hidden inside the menu. Browse through your camera menu or manual to locate yours, if it offers it. First, shoot your base photo. Silhouettes traditionally make strong double exposures, but for a ghostly image, choose any spooky scene — an old-looking front porch may do the trick. The camera will automatically overlap that first image, so you can choose exactly where the first shot and your next one come together — so you can make a person appear to float, or a semi-transparent ghost just sitting on that old front porch.

The camera flash also helps freeze action — which makes it a prime tool for creating some ghost-like effects. Slow-sync flash fires during only part of the exposure — if you use slow-sync flash to shoot motion, part of that motion will be blurred and rather ghoulish.

This method works particularly well on a dance floor, if you happen to be headed to a costume party. Rear-curtain slow sync will create the ghostly figure behind the subject, while front-curtain creates the figure in the direction the action is headed. If you do not want the background to blur, use a tripod.

Set your camera up with a slow shutter speed — you may need to experiment based on how fast your subject is moving — and, with your flash set to slow sync, fire away. One objective players may be asked to complete is capturing a photo of a ghost using the still camera.

Of course, this means players will need to provoke the ghost into showing itself, likely by angering it, which can trigger it to begin a hunting phase and attack. The player will also need to get close to the spirit, which can be as challenging as it is dangerous, and seeing the ghost will cause their sanity to drop faster. There are a few ways players can prevent the ghost from attacking long enough to get the perfect shot and slow their loss of sanity.

Here's how to photograph a ghost and complete the objective in Phasmophobia. There are several different types of cameras in Phasmophobia , and players will need to be sure they have the right one before they set out to find and photograph the ghost. They need to equip the camera that looks like a typical point-and-shoot digital camera, not the DSLR-style camera with night vision. It is also a good idea for the player or another teammate to equip one of the ghost-halting devices available in the game.

The two most appropriate choices are smudge sticks , which will cleanse a room and prevent the ghost from entering a hunting phase for about 90 seconds, or the Crucifix, which will prevent a ghost from entering a hunt within a certain radius. Because the player needs to provoke the ghost and get close to it, this is the best way to keep the team safe and still complete the objective.

In some cases, though, the ghost will materialize outside the radius of these items and can still start a hunt and pick off members of the team.

If players bring smudge sticks, they will need to be sure to bring a lighter. It's also a good idea to equip a flashlight to keep sanity from dropping too quickly, as the rate of decay slows when the player turns on a light. Additionally, if the player goes too far when trying to provoke the ghost and it is about to begin a hunting phase, the flashlight will flicker first as a warning to the team that it is time to hide.

Once players have the necessary equipment, they'll need to enter the building and find the ghost room. Using equipment like the thermometer and the EMF reader can serve a dual purpose here: players can figure out where the ghost resides in the home or abandoned building and still gather evidence to identify the ghost.
