Trick Photography - Long Exposure - Eyes Open and Closed in Same Picture
Camera: Canon 5dmkii Lens: Canon 24-105 f/4 L IS USM Shooting Mode: Manual Aperture: f/11 Shutter Speed: 2" ISO: 100 White Balance: Daylight |
An ND filter, a sturdy tripod and a cable / remote release will help even though its not absolutely essential. The eyes of the subject were open during the first half of the exposure and closed for the second half.

Another variation of the same concept this time the length of time the eyes were open was reduced so they were open only for a split second at the start of the exposure and then the eyes were closed. You will be able to generate varying degrees of the same effect by varying the duration and also experimenting with starting the exposure with the eyes closed and then opening them. |
It is important that the subject remains perfectly still during the length of the exposure.
