The Ghost of the Red Bedsheet
This is the perfect example of how important timing is when taking a photo. The simple perfection of the timing of this capture creates the illusion of a horrifying, murderous ghost-like figure instead of a simple red bed sheet. Either way, the neighbors almost definitely had the scare of their lives when they looked over briefly and saw what appeared to be a ghost trying to enter their neighbor’s house.
Notice how calm the woman’s expression is (while facing such a scary danger). She probably had no idea of the illusion her bedsheets created until the photographer showed her this image. The juxtaposition of fear and serenity in the photograph adds an intriguing layer to the narrative. When these individuals who experienced the near-death encounter at sea witness these epic drone photos that depict their harrowing ordeal, they will undoubtedly be taken aback.
