    1. Any photographers reading in this sub who might explain how the photographer got this shot?

      All the interior lights seem to be out except for the flash that beams down on the businessman.

      The windows seem to be closed, but there’s no light reflecting off the windows.

      To capture the lights of the NY skyline and the TV the camera would have needed a long exposure setting. But a long exposure would have blurred the motion on the TV screen unless the action was paused.

      Perhaps the TV screen is covered with a still image? A picture instead of live action?

      I’m no photograper. Any educated guesses how this interesting image was captured?
