Multiple Exposures


I just finished Tony Sweet and Susan Middleton's workshop in the Great Smoky Mts. workshop. Spring is definitely here with minty green as far as the eye can see and wildflowers popping up. We rose early, before dawn to get the best light and after time, mid-day, in the classroom, we set out again for the sunset. We were blessed with good weather and this morning was stupendous watching ground fog lift out of a valley with the mountains peeking out from below. More about that in another blog. . .

My goals here were to learns some new things and have fun. I'm happy to report that mission was accomplished! Due to making portraits most of the time and living in the city, I found my nature eye "rusty" and it needs some more exercise. However, there were successes, one of them being multi-exposures in camera. When I first saw multis that Tony showed me last year, I didn't really relate to them. This year it was something different and I think it was the difference between a boat harbor and a nature scene.

Here's an image of 10 exposures, blended in the camera, of the spring trees with some setting sun hitting the tops of the trees. Tony likes to say that you can make lots of these and not all of them turn out. However, when you get a good one, you know it and feel it. And so it is with this image. Suggestions for titles are welcomed!
