Pictures By Alan

The folks in the background were in much dimmer light than the foreground, a problem compounded by the fact that their costumes were darker as well. I did two sets of exposures, one for the foreground, one for the back. This is both of them, unedited. You can see the background is almost black when the foreground looks good, and when the background is good the foreground is blasted to white. The final image is these two spliced together. I was pleased with how nice it turned out. Photoshop is an amazing program.
