 This is just me taking silly photos. Artistic, no. One of the few times I actually staged a photo. Though it was staged in the lightest sense. I just told my wife (who is in the mask) to run around and do whatever.

This is just one image capture.
Slight crop.
Bunch of editing in Capture NX
SB-600 flash using commander mode off on the left.
This is just advanced editing.

Stuff in the top left is actually limb and "sensor" noise from a tree which I accentuated with contrast/brightness/cuvers adjustmnets.

Post Challenge Comments:
It was a joy to shoot this with my wife. Generally she shys away from the camera. Wish I would have had a couple of more takes, but my wife gets a little antsy, plus my flash batteries were on their last leg (recycle time was very long).

OMG who knew that Aliens liked to camp out? Did you catch it during a potty break - so sly. Lol I love the pic! Looks like you guys had a great time. The dark tones and lighting really set the right mood. Fun photo!

Reminds me of childhood nightmares... Or was it real?

Very cool photo. It may be the lighting but the tent looks a little crooked to me. The lighting in the photo is superb. Hope to see it in the top 10

Simple yet effective. The title could be better.

I hate the campers, too. Good job.

This is a fun type of image, I think a bit of body would be nice, even if just a slight outline to show shoulder and hip.

HEE HEE - I like the contrast and story. Maybe a bit busy compositionally. With shots like yours and mine, the really SUPERB ones shine even brighter. 6

What is in the upper left hand corner? Such a distraction on an otherwise well done photo.

Creepy. I love the high key B&W.
