Hello friends! Here I am with my magic Lantern. All in one single photograph! You want to try this yourself? Here is the recipe: set you camera to full manual mode. Set the exposure to 30 seconds. Set the ISO to 200. Set the aperature to F8. Set your lens to manual. Set it to wide angle (e.g. 24mm). Put your camera on a tripod. Attached an external flash. Set the flash to manual. Limit the flash to 1/64th of it's power. Sit on a chair in front of your camera. Put on a black coat so only your face will be exposed by the flash. Have your lantern ready. Switch of all lights in the room. Fire the camera. The fill in flash will light up your face. Now stand up, put on the lantern and start walking and waving through the room. You have 30 seconds. Succes and have fun!
