Description
This is one of my entries in the Forum Challenge on "Lighting".
I noticed a faint light coming from Megan's room when she was supposed to be sleeping. This is what I discovered when I opened the door! I made her stay put while I set up my tripod! (so much for the strict bedtime routine, eh?)
I did some post work to create the darkness around her - a little light & contrast play and some black brushing at 50% opacity.
Thanks for stopping in.

Liked this in the challenge Jodie, I think the bigger picture rocks, great lightplay and postwork!
excellent use of the light
lovely photo
Great shot, I love this!
This might explain the mysterious yawns in the morning as well... Nice shot - funny story (including the tripod -- this sounds like a heredity thing :o) The post work is so subtle that I would never have guessed it had been done -- always just the way it should be done.
wonderful photo love this scene a lot..u did excellent..
Beautiful shot---and VERY familiar!! I do it all the time (but there's no one around to tell me to turn out the light!!)
This is such a great shot. I'm glad to see it out front! (I was a bit behind the times, huh?) Wonderful image. I'm sure after you got your shot, you made her turn off the light and go to sleep. :)
Your did great! I can't imagine getting such a clear shot without all the noise I usually get in low lighting. This is really GREAT!
WOW!! Amazing mood and image!!
Excellent lighting & colors cool!!
Very well done, a great capture and part of the mood of childhood! Aside from being less photogenic, my Mom would have had a hard time getting a shot of me. Reading under the covers with a torch on my head, in order to reduce that spill of light under the door! Thanks for the memories! Clive
Glad to see you put this one into your gallery. I still think its a great shot.
Photography is playing/drawing with light, indeed ! Excellent shot, Jodie !
Great work!!!
for some reason it gives me a feel that I am in a movie.......this could be also a wonderful cover for a book named "My secrets" ...very well done
Beautiful capture and poswork too!!! Interesting idea!!! Well done!!! :)
really nice bluish & purple hues, Jodie, and the feeling of looking in on someone lost in thought (and comfortably sunk into sheets & blankets). The blues, violets & greens all blend mysteriously in that little light; and you have the 'clarity' you get which I've never been able to explain, but it's so real. It just has clarity—things are clean & present even in shadow. You even do that in action shots, it's just in you! And I agree with duncan about the postwork: It's there but barely noticeable. A very sensitive shot, sensitively prepared, and it grows on one with each viewing.
Excellent work! Very impressive!!
MAGIC SCENE 6 capture.....beautiful work..!!!!!
Excellent!
very atmospheric shot!
like a lot!
Ah! No wonder this also cropped up in the lighting challenge! Stunning profile capture in the vignetted tunnel.
Magnificent lighting effects and postwork on display here of Megan reading her Harry Potter book, Jodie! I like the little lamp attachment that gives off just enough ambiance. And, after you took the picture, you grounded her for a week for not being asleep as she should have been.
Outstanding ! and perfect !
superb image!
lovely portrait, pretty wonderful light, excelent !
Great capture!
I like this one....the lighting ...I deal with lights in my artwork but I like the lighting in the photo
