I'm not positive that's what's actually happening here. But I'm pretty sure this kid was waiting with his parents to ship out.
Part of the reason I posted this is to show the dynamic range of the Casio Exilim EX-V7 digital camera. I did use a masked Photoshop adjjustment layer to pull detail from the shadow areas. But the detail was there - that's the important thing. This was a tough exposure and between the V7's manual exposure options, histogram, and good dynamic range, I was able to capture this photo. The camera does tend to blow highlights. But if you expose a bit dark and do a little post-processing, you can get almost whatever you need.
