A story

I just found my new camera has a ‘double exposure ‘setting’!
Googling this brought unbelievable skills which I don’t have.

It must have to be a story:
Set in Zambia (where my son worked some years ago and I was given this picture) and while the local ‘postman’ delivered a packet…. and meanwhile a helicopter was employed from Nevernever Land to see what was in this odd parcel! Who was in control of this helicopter is a secret!
Three good things:
1. Maybe Mr Man had broadened his motorcycle wings? Or was it Peter Pan?
2. The focus on the camera had to be set properly for the “double exposure’ but I achieved that after some really poor shots.
3. What is in this package and will the camera in the helicopter be able to tell us?
I feel a story coming on now! I’m guessing Mr. Man and Yolanda will somehow be involved. A terrific job with the double exposure! How exciting to be developing a new skill and doing it so well.

@grammyn Now I've done it! I'll have to continue this won't I?

A new mystery I sense, I will wait with interest! Hope your imagination is in full flow now! That camera option is rather amazing isn't it? I love the helicopter super imposed on to that painting.

@happypat Its actually quite easy - the camera tells you to take one photo then lets you take another on top of it! Its not really super imposed which photoshop can do. I can't do photoshop.

Love it ...
May 19th, 2018  
I'm going to have to check my new camera and see if it has one!! Really cool

@ladykassy46 You might have to look at the manual. I didn't recognise the icon for double exposure until I read it in the manual!
May 19th, 2018  
I like how to put the story together, that makes double exposure interesting, 365 should have double exposure story challenge.
May 19th, 2018  
@yaorenliu Yes, I do agree - firstly its the challenge of double exposure that almost works, then the creation of a story to fit!
May 19th, 2018  
I find this interesting and creative
May 19th, 2018  
Love how you did this and the story is interesting.
May 19th, 2018

May 19th, 2018

I like how the image invites us to engage with our imagination. And it's a pleasing image in and of itself.
May 19th, 2018  
Great to discover new things on your camera, fun and creative
May 19th, 2018  
Great fun...keep at it!
May 19th, 2018  
Oh I feel another tale coming on!!
May 19th, 2018  
this is very interesting and intriguing...looking forward to more
May 19th, 2018  
I'm surprised that nobody has faved this - they have now! - it appeals to me greatly.
May 19th, 2018  
@vignouse Thank you Richard! I'm in a learning phase with what to use double exposure for!
May 19th, 2018  
hmmm....interesting. really interesting scenario. who controls the heli? will i ever find out?
May 21st, 2018  
It'll come to you. really looking forward to a continuation of the Mr Man and Yolanda espisode. may I ask you what ails you. back problem?

@bruni Thanks Bruni for your concern. I have one continued problem with a muscle in my butt that is injured and nothing seems to improve it!
May 25th, 2018  
Oh Dear. sorfry to hear that. i always used to get muscle craps in my legs down to the feet. wakes me up at night and I've to get up and walk it out. I started taken 11/2 spoon of potassium 2 x daily as weell as a magnesium and I keep it now in check. now what you have might be different. but it wouldn't hurt to find out if you might be low on P and M.
