This was quick and dirty, couldn't come up with a good idea. This is a shot of a book called Star Wars Frames: http://starwars.com/watch/star_wars_frames_trailer.html Beginning of the book, movie, and trilogy. I originally wanted to get more of the over all book focused on one specific point and try to capture that tactile feeling that a book has in your hands but nothing worked. This is the most interesting shot that I got during that session.
Thanks for sharing your inspirations for the pictures you wanted to take. I think the 'ghost' image sounds like a cool idea. Here's what I imagine the challenges would be: 1. you'd need to get both the surface of the book and the reflection in focus. 2. You'd need to light the book well enough to reflect strongly without hitting the other one too brightly. It sounds like an interesting idea and I might try it out. I'd like to see the ones that didn't work out.
