At sunset we all gathered in downtown Colonial Williamsburg to take the after dark ghost tour, a 2 hour story-telling and living history lesson. Mostly all of our vacations are edu-vacations...The guide led the way with a period lantern lit with a hand-made candle. (5 years and 3268 days ago)

Could use a bit of focus

I was actually slow-panning in low light...this is the "look" I was going for.

I have to agree with kyricom. There is no real point of focus in the picture and most of it seems like it's just melting together. At high resolution it's hard to even see the facial expressions of the people.

Personally, I think the image would benefit fit of someone, like the lantern carrying person, being in focus instead of just not being as unfocused as the rest of the picture.

author says:

Thank you for your comments...changed photo, same type of shot and such...hope this is better...but the ghostly thing is what I was going for here...just practicing some different techniques. i was getting tired of the same old thing...future submissions of this type should get better as I practice more

Shikyo says:

For a "ghostly" look I think having the background sharp would work better than it being blurry as well. This way you would get the look you want without sacrificing the interest for the looking eye. To achieve this all you need is a tripod or a stable enough surface area, like a table, where you can put your camera. A longer shutter speed, which allows the background to be sharp but everything that moves in the picture will become blurry.
