Surfing alone...*
by Daveed V.

Kinnelon, NJ

This was shot twice with different exposure times. (The light sources are visible in the picture: The moon and a laptop 13" LCD.) Using Photoshop elements I selected the longer exposure for the window/moon part and the shorter exposure (still not that short) for the foreground subject. I cropped to 1600x2400 (available on request) and then resized to 533x800 for posting.


other sizes: small medium original auto

Thanks Phil. I toyed with a third shot to decrease the intensity of the screen, but I think it makes the lighting of the face look unnatural by comparison.

Incidentally, I wanted to use the DPReview challenge #2 thread for the screen contents, but it's too dark for this purpose :-/ In the end, I picked www.photo.net.

Great shot - I really like the window detail in the darker parts. I only wish it were more possible to make out what's on the screen, but perhaps I'm asking a bit much!
