confused...

not sure if this is "low self esteem" or "dream big"... but whatevs... for my push challenge set by @dkbarnett to do a double exposure with a silhouette shot with the subject within the silhouette... this is one of those techniques that i've always thought looked really cool, but i've never actually tried... wanted to experiment a bit in a controlled environment before trying outside... it's been a busy week and there's a ton of ice out there today so never got beyond said controlled environment... something i'll have to try again another time...

done in camera btw...
@dkbarnett - thanks for the push... it was a good one!

There so much I love about this: The perfect positioning, the low key pawn, the fading on the queen. Really excellent photo!

Beautifully executed and processed, definite fav...

Looks like a challenging technique… I think you did great!

@northy Thanks - I'm glad you found the challenge a good one. And I love what you have come up with.

Very nicely done

Very good indeed. For your challenge would you like to do a stop motion shot? Let me know if you would prefer something different.

@allsop hi Andrew…. Do you mean like an action shot with high shutter speed? I can certainly give that a go!
January 19th, 2026  
@northy yes. The faster the subject is actually moving the better so plenty of background blur. Is that ok?

@allsop hmmm…. I think you mean panning? That might be tricky…. It’s absolutely frigid here right now so spending time outside experimenting with this is unlikely to be feasible…😕

@northy Ok. How about making a collage of 3 photos of your day, equally spaced with a number of hours in between each, e.g at 0900hrs, 1500hrs, 2100hrs. of course the timings don't have to be exact.

@allsop ooohhhh! Interesting! Ok…. Let me see what I can do!
