Challenge: Humor II (Advanced Editing II)
Collection: Portfolio
Camera: Canon EOS-10D
Location: home
Date: Nov 26, 2004
Aperture: 5.6
ISO: 100
Shutter: 6 sec strobes twice
Galleries: Humorous, Emotive
Date Uploaded: Nov 26, 2004

 6 second exposure in order to fire strobes twice while changing position. Selected partial background and used levels to darken. Used a a solid layer in transparant mode 20 to reduce the overlapping where the d.e. burns out the images (the pajamas) area. Slight cloning and dodge, um

O.B.E. Out of body experience

The reason this doesn't work is that the sitting figure should be entirely see-through (if it's to reflect an OBE in the traditional way).

welll done, but i tend to feel this picture is more 'scary' and 'disturbing' than 'funny' :)

This did make me laugh, although at first glance, I thought you were wearing "prisoners" clothing! I find these kinds of exposures so interesting, and wish I could achieve something like this. Lighting and focus are good and the negative space treatment is the perfect thing for this.

Clever! Well executed, great focus and facial expressions! Pajamas add more to the silliness and humor.

I am a teacher so OBE (outcome based education) stuck in my mind. I did a google search and found out that it means out of body experience. So, after some research, I get it, and it is a funny shot. Nice job.

Great tones & effect.
Not one of the funniest shots in town, but very well done.
One of my top 5 favorites in this challenge ((7))

Hehehe. Now this is funny. Those expressions are pure classic! Great work.
Now for a suggestion - I have been looking at it and laughing for a while now and I am also thinking if it this image would be stronger with the torsos only.
Best of luck.
