Earth Olie

[trihokie]

This was one of my first photoshop experiments. It is a night time shot of my son taken with a D300 and a camera mounted flash pasted onto an image of the earth from outer space. And while we are at it, since I am not an astronaut and did not take the photo of the earth, am I now on the nation's most wanted list for copyright infringement?

You should had made him jump over the Earth with his shadow on the Earth.

Candid, my friend, you've lost me.
Isn't the shadow on the earth.

Bloody good for a first Photoshop experiment though.

Yeah but the front part of his board is still on the earth giving him the apperence of jumping down to the earth. Instead, a cooler shot would be if he jumps over the earth so I guess just tweak the angle of the front of the board above the earth while his shadow still remain on the earth.

I thought that by putting the shadow of the board so far down onto the Earth it would give the illusion of vetrtical separation. That is what is so good about this forum--I have a lot of eyes that can give me a second and third opinion. Thanks for the input guys.
