Double Exposure
Hey all. The famous Uncle Robert has lent me a couple of books on photography by Freeman Patterson. In The Joy of Photography I read a passage about double exposures (the book is 30 years old, so it of course refers to film). This is my attempt at a 21st century double exposure, using Photoshop. I think it's kind of fun.
I took a picture of these (magnolia?) buds while focused on the bushes in the distance. I then (thank you tripod) took the same picture, focusing on the buds. I layered them in Photoshop and this was the result.
Thank you all for your visits to this site. I enjoy seeing your work on your respective web pages and appreciate your feedback here. I learn a lot about what makes an interesting picture when I see your photos.

Hey Timmy, first time I have been able to get over this way. Wow! This shot in particular is lovely. Nice work.
Photoshop & layers! You will be able to quit your day joob soon . . .
This is wonderful. Such beautiful rich color.
I cannot get PS, it drives me NUTS. What little I can do in PS is usually accidental. I get inpatient with it and usually walk away with a headache. lol.
Thanks for the supportive comments on the waterfal pics. They were a bit of a pain to do. I think those sodium lights were a big problem. I actually did some frames of just the waterfalls, but they didn't thrill me, again probably those ugly yellow lights. I also was a bit rushed, but I am determined and I will try again, maybe at the beach next time.
excellent picture, I like the composition of colour and the way in which you made the picture. Never thought of using photo shop, now I have another avenue to try.
I won't be taking any pictures until I slow down abit. I have a lot of swim meets to attend this month, so I may have to wait for a bit.
Great picture. Thanks again for your information in making this pic.
Great picture, double exposure, don't know why people think that HDR is such a new fad, just another name for double exposure. Difference is, double exposure works. HDR, not feeling it at the moment.
Lovely shot, well done.

Beautiful!
lovely color and nice composition:-)
Thats pretty cool, well done!
I had never actually heard of double exposures before. How exactly do you "layer them" in photoshop?
This trick is very interesting. Opens up possibilities for lots of great shots. Thanks.
These are just beautiful!
