On a brighter note... This is an in-camera multiple exposure from the 5D3 of some little flowers in the back yard, I think I made six exposures while I moved the camera around in a circular motion. The resulting image reminded me of a spiral galaxy and I thought it would be cool to play with it in the new Analog Efex Pro 2 that magically showed up in my filters. This new version of the plugin is one of the best tools I've seen in a long time. In addition to the several different old-time cameras you can choose to play with, there is also a "tool" panel that gives you lots of great image tools to work with. For this one I used the "zoom and rotate blur" tool to add to the spiral look. These tools have an amazing interface that allows you to size and move the effect, as well as change the shape of the area it affects. Very cool stuff!

I love the degree of blurring, the slight twirl look, and the rule of thirds position of main flowers. Well done.

Lovely swirling together of the purple-pink flower color with the fresh greens of spring! I also had Analog 2 just show up and have not yet explored it. You have nudged me that direction now!
Love the colors and patterns created by the multiple exposures. I didn't know Analog could do zoom and rotate blur, but I've only used the plugin a few times and maybe not since the upgrade.
