Gone with the wind

This is an in-camera multiple exposure. Pixel Bender oil paint is the single filter effect. The Canon 5D MarkIII in-camera multiple exposure effect is a little harder to master than I expected. Or to say it another way, lots of my multiple exposure images just didn't look like much :e3. I have decided I must carefully look at the flower outline to decide if multiple exposure could be interesting or messy.

I brush my heavy-coated dog outside and possibly that is dog hair attached to the flower! But I like the lines. I don't think deer hair is that wispy.

[Hazel Grant]

yes, I think it is probably dog hair. never thought of deer coats as being "furry"
Still, gave it a windblown effect that is very nice.

Nancy, I was wondering what cool effect you used to get that wispy look... It was the dog hair filter! :bg3: Perfect example of serendipity. I'm really liking the effect you get with oil paint, very nice. I still haven't had the nerve to try the multiple exposure bit!

[Nancy Bell]

Thanks Hazel & Kerry. "It was the dog hair filter! :bg3: " It's one of those special effects filters that I've just noticed :w3!

Hi, Nancy, great use of filters:cheers: Actually, it looks like Spanish moss which we have in the South. I think you did a great job with multiple exposures - it's not easy as I found out also:S3:

Lovely image. Whatever the tendrils are in this photo, they work well. Perhaps you should sell little bundles of your dogs hair to photographers :S3:

[Nancy Bell]

Thanks, Cheryl & Mitch. "Perhaps you should sell little bundles of your dogs hair to photographers :S3:" Hey, everyone will want BIG bundles, for lots of doggy-hair effects, which I can certainly do! :t3

Awesome composition and processing, Nancy. Feels like celestial effect... being pulled into ether :S3:

[Diane Miller]

Wonderful! The dog hair is the icing on the cake, or the grace note.

I think the whole assortment of in-camera special effects (smart phone apps and the few we have for bigger cameras) have a low success rate, but when they do succeed it's really worth it, as it was here.

[Nancy Bell]

Thank you Indranil & Diane!

Hi Nancy a dog-hair filter effect...hmm might have to borrow someones long haired dog...my dogs a Mastador and has short hair. Maybe I could glue some together. I like the windblown flower, the softness and colors. Well done

[Nancy Bell]
