Whilst there is no apparent attempt to 'airbrush' the image to produce a fake and sentimental kind of acceptability, there is likewise no attempt to show humiliation of the subject; it's a good honest photo - although of course very carefully organised and lit. I'm surprised by the allegations of its being 'extreme' or the like, also: it worries me that in a world where you can't move for images of the flesh, the presentation of some that isn't tanned, made-up, styled, photoshopped and re-touched should be considered difficult. Surely the constant onslaught of the fake should be more worrying?

Hpw could you possibly exploit yourself!!!!! its like saying if i photograph myself nude for a tattoo i have got and i wish to share it then i am exploiting myself,,,pishh some people dont deserve an opinion,,right on man for doing this i find it really empowering to show ones vunerability and it definatly deserves the blue sploggy thingy

No actually, just a few hot pixels to clone out of the print - it was so cold that the sensor generated hardly any noise. Originally posted by saiphfire: The problem with such long exposures, of course, is the ambient light. I would have liked to see you boost the contrast to make the sky a little darker, even if it meant losing definition on the boat. I'm also a little confused why the trails are different colors - are they not stars? I tried boosting the contrast but the boat just looked tacky - and since this is basic, i couldn't manipulate the contrast selectively. The stars were actually those colours - maybe they're not stars, but they were up in the sky, whatever they were :)

Without sounding like a boffin the difference in colours from stars comes from the light which they emit due to the heat that they are burning at and as different temps means different colours of the spectrum they show as different colours so there now you know!!
