Picture of the Week
Kite Flyer on Jockey's Ridge



Hi Friends,

I took my big telephoto (500mm) up on the Ridge for sunset. As usual there were kites flying, but unfortunately not right where I needed one. So I shot a photo of the girl and kite and a few minutes later, the sun setting. It was easy to combine them in Photoshop to get an image that really pops, and is what I envisioned when I hiked up there. Photo purists may object to this "fake" juxtaposition, but as a working photographer, if I can produce an image that people like and that is commercial, that is part of my job in this digital photography landscape.

I hope you enjoy it,

Ray Matthews
