dobbino's photos
Three views - one flower
Posted by dobbino (Cape Town, South Africa) on 17 August 2009 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.
On Friday while I was waiting for an appointment, I was browsing through a book of photos and came across one or two where the photographer had double exposed his negatives. I quite liked the effect and did some research on it, only to find that most digital cameras (mine included) are not able to perform this function.
So - Photoshop was the only solution, and while playing around I ended up with this image - not quite a multi-exposure, but the same flower, still with a touch of morning dew and lit up by early morning sunlight, presented three times on the same overall image - each one a little bit differently.
What I really like is the background - the large aperture blurred the background, but not enough to get rid of the odd bit of green here and there.
All comments, and especially constructive criticism is truly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time.
