Challenge: Superstitions & Urban Legends II (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Nikon D200
Lens: Nikon AF Micro-Nikkor 60mm f2.8D
Location: Pine City, NY
Date: Jun 27, 2006
Aperture: f/16
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/60 sec
Galleries: Humorous, Still Life
Date Uploaded: Jun 27, 2006

 Photo created using D200 Image Overlay function in camera.
As basic editing rules state, "Any modification done inside the digital camera itself is considered acceptable for challenge submission" I assume this function is legal to use, though I suspect I'll find out for sure very soon.

RAW conversion using ACR. Basic curves adjustment, sharpening, and addition of frame in PSCS2.

Toy alligator photographed on black cloth with on camera flash set to TTL and -3 ev and slave flash firing at 1/8 to left using Nikon 60mm f/2.8 Micro lens.
Bathroom background photographed w/ built in flash fired TTL using Nikon 24mm f/2.8 lens.
Both exposures at 1/60 sec and f/16.

Technical: Focus - 1
Exposure- 0
Quality - 0
Aesthetic: Comp. - 0
Light - 0
Color - 0
Wow factor: 0
Personal tilt: 2/3

Comments/Reasoning: Exposure is very harsh and the overall image quality appears to be fairly low. The photograph doesn't stand out on its own, and the use of color and light did not compliment the image. I do like the idea though (hence the tilt)

I don't think I've ever seen a black toilet before. I'm not sure your exposure is right.

Funny idea. Good idea to have the dark underexposure to make the surroundings look more sewer-like.

Funny image, but the background is far too dark. It's difficult to tell you're in a bathroom.

Good idea! A little dark though - would be good to see the alligator in context a little more

Fun, but doesn't look like a sewer and can tell its fake. Not sure if thats the look you going for, but doesn't work for me.
