Multiple Exposure at Lonaconing Silk Mill

[denise ippolito]

From my recent workshop at Lonaconing Silk Mill in Maryland. I used the Multiple Exposure feature in my Canon 5D Mark III to create the in-camera effect. Using a 2 image merge I zoomed my 24-105mm lens slightly to create the repeats. I was working in a dark basement and decided that highlighting the windows would be the look I wanted so I was careful not to bring in too much detail throughout the image in post processing.

Very nicely done, Denise! I like the dark tones and the multiple exposure worked out very well.

Denise, I like the multiple exposure and especially like the green reflection on the right wall. This looks like an interesting place to visit

Love the mix of graphic and organic, Denise. This and your blog posts are a wonderful, fresh approach to multiple exposures. Can't wait to see what you come up with next!

Knowing something of the history and uncertain future of this place, I think your treatment is very fitting. Both the dark tones and the accentuation of the conditions resulting from the multiple exposure are effective. The missing window glass is troubling. I want to get there with my camera before the place deteriorates too much further.

Dennis, The windows have gotten much worse since my last visit in March, the roof is now being supported in some areas. Lots of the windows now have boards on them. It is an uncertain future for the mill. I was planning on another visit in October, the leaves shade a lot of the inside which is already dark. But it did create a nice green glow :)

Thanks everyone, this look really appealed to me.

Very nice Denise...I love the effect on the windows. All of your multiple exposures are turning out really well and quite impressive too
