A union Jack, which is painted on the surface of my kitchen table, rendered in somewhat unconventional colours and here, serving as the bg while I had a retro-punk moment of sorts. So here the word jacked can refer to the UJ, the visible boobage, and oh yes the enormous maxed-out 1200x1200 size :-)
Long exposure is such a simple but effective technique, definitely one of my faves. All you have to do is hold still for approximately 1/2 the amount of time you have set the exposure for, then duck out of the camera's sightline. Love it! Very curious to see how this will do.
pp: shot RAW, straighten, crop, brightness/contrast, vibrance/saturation, dodge and burn, minor cloning, resize, sharpen, unsharpen 50%, save for web
Post challenge: WHAT! Obviously my boobage wasn't enough to snaffle me a ribbon. Maybe I should suggest a challenge titled 'Misuse of national flags' and reshoot for it :-/
