Greek Myth: Cyclops

This is the picture i took for my Greek myth. This assignment was somewhat challenging for me because the initial idea i had for the project didn't work out the way i wanted it to. I was stuck trying to create a multiple person effect by doing a long exposure. I put my model in the basement and had everything dark except for a spotlight. I ended up turning on the light, then having him move while the light was off, and flicking it back on again. This made him appear four times but the thing that bothers me is that he isn't as clear in each one. I tried to fix this by using a different camera and changing the aperture and shutter speed a million times. I finally ended up with an image that worked okay, but i still don't think this is a good enough photograph. If i had to do it again i would just keep trying to change the amount of light, the shutter speed, and the aperture until i got it right.
