I was wondering if anyone was going to do this (I posted the message about the technique in the forum). Pretty good job here - maybe a bit more work matching the colors would have helped. But the matching up of the background lines is excellent!
Well now that is extremely clever. Not a photo I'd hang on my wall but one that I'd study to guess how you did it and to marvel at how well you matched the image on the screen to the background. I give it a 7 for cleverness and imagination.
OMG, how much effort did this take you?! Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of the lighting and white balance. Composition seems like an afterthought. Well done for effort though!
Here's one DPC voter who hopes you use some other machine to view DPC challenges and to vote: the color balance is not within a country mile of being the same as that of the camera.
I'm not finding the composition to be very inspiring. The print is busy. And the space depicted is cramped. The computer is not an unusually photogenic one, nor does it have any obvious visual or functional connection with lamp, print, or table. My opinion, for what it's worth.
would have been much more convincing if you'd have taken more time to get the color-balance a little closer between the shot on the monitor and the surrounding area.
I wanted to do something like this for a challenge myself, but just couldn't make it work with a CRT.. so kudos on getting a pretty good illusion going. (except, of course, for the color balance issue)
This would have scored a little higher to me if the colors in the monitor were adjusted to be a match to the outside world. Even so, very cool image. Thanks for sharing and for the effort in setting up the shot.
