Theme/Blur: A Tale of Corruption, Tall Pines and Multiple Exposure (Chapter 2)

[Ed Vatza]

Another 10-image multiple exposure from Friday afternoon.

On my blog, I have about a 50/50 split between those preferring yesterday's post and those preferring this one.

Same set-up: 30D; 24-70 2.8L; tripod

1/40 sec @ f/11; ISO 400; -1/3 EV; AWB; FL 45mm

Ed, I saw this one on your blog:) I like it also but prefer the other one. Mainly because the evergreen color in the other post seems more natural. But the colors on this are fun and it is interesting. Nice work. I hope to get out soon for a few of these and some Lensbaby wide angles.

I prefer this one Ed, seems to hold some excitement.....please explain "10-image multiple exposure".
Is this 10 separate images juxtaposed in post process?

Yep, 10 separate images each panned just a slight bit up from the previous one. This can be done in-camera with higher-end Nikons. But I shoot Canon. The same thing can be done but it had to be done in Photoshop and it was a royal pain the butt. You have to layer the 10 images, vary the opacity of each, etc. But Uwe Steinmueller and Tony Sweet came up with CS4 script that is a Godsend. You open the script, select the 10 image, click and it does the whole process (layering, opacities, etc) for you and "spits" out the 10-image multiple exposure ready for any further processing you might want to do.

thanks Ed, the process is what I assumed

Love the colors, Ed! Your captures have just enough 'distance' between them. Nicely done.

Congratulations on Honorable Mention. This is one of my favorites of your blurs, and I commented on it on your blog. :-)
