Another rainy day

Get Pushed Challenge 599 - double exposure
My partner challenged me to do a double exposure. Because my camera doesn't have this capability, I have to do this is post processing. This technique is always a challenge for me. Maybe if I try it enough I'll be able to do it with more confidence.
@walksnaplove Here's my double exposure image. Thank you for your challenge. This technique is always hard for me to set up and "visualize".

Wow! How ever you’ve managed the double exposure Kathy, I’m impressed. I love how you’ve got the coloured and the shadowed/ monochrome umbrella. Challenge met!
January 26th, 2024  
I like that very much! Lovely pastel colours and the idea works well!
January 26th, 2024  
I think you did really well with this. You have both images lined up as if it was done in camera and there's just enough "fading" between the two that it looks realistic. Good job!
January 26th, 2024  
Nailed it again Kathy!

@walksnaplove You can do a lot of things in Photoshop. I'm glad that you like this image.
@marshwader Thank you Madeleine. I wasn't sure about the color, but I like the bright umbrella and wanted to keep it. Desaturating the entire image seemed to work.
@olivetreeann Thank you Ann. The magic of layers and Photoshop. They were taken almost in the same place and a similar angle. I have a chair that sits on the car port...
@fbailey Thanks so much for saying so Felicity.

good thing you were pushed because this turned out very well! Clever to use color AND B&W
January 26th, 2024  
Wonderful image
January 26th, 2024  
I think you did a good job. I like the effect.
January 26th, 2024  
What a great result. The umbrellas look quite ghostlike.
January 26th, 2024  
So were either of the umbrellas actually on that sidewalk? You’ve done an awesome job with the double exposure.
January 26th, 2024  
This is really cool, I would have no idea how to achieve this
January 26th, 2024  
I think you were very creative in your processing, with a good result.
January 26th, 2024  
Interesting image.
January 26th, 2024  
That works well
January 26th, 2024  
No idea how you did this. I have never been able to achieve this since I went from film to digital. Nice effect
January 26th, 2024  
A great result.
January 26th, 2024  
Well done! We have had a lot of rain too...but not enough, they say! fav
January 26th, 2024  
Great job. Fav
January 26th, 2024  
Well done fv!
January 26th, 2024  
Great shot!
January 26th, 2024  
Nicely done Kathy!!

@grammyn Thank you Katy. Only color here. The reason it looks b&w is because it was dull and rainy and then I desaturated the colors to wash them out and blend the two photos a little better.
@tosee Thank you Tom.
@shutterbug49 Thank you very much Debbie.
@onewing Thanks Babs. Seems like there's something in all the double exposures I've seen that is translucent.
@mcsiegle Mary, the umbrellas were there but I used two photos - with and without them- and blended them together. Thank you very much.
@kjarn I did this in photoshop. I have been trying to figure out what makes a good double exposure and tried to copy what I thought works. Thank you Kathy.
@taffy Thank you Taffy. I feel honored with your kind feedback.
@jamibann Thanks Issi. I might should have titled it "help me, I'm melting" since we've had quite a bit of rain lately.
@30pics4jackiesdiamond Thanks Jackie.
@casablanca It's done in Photoshop with two photos and blending. I have no doubt with good post-processing software that you'd be able to achieve it. Thanks Casa.
@wakelys Thanks Sue.
@gardenfolk Thank you.
@pusspup Thanks Wylie.
@ziggy77 Thank you Jo. I appreciate it.
@kwind Thanks Kim.
@craftymeg Thanks Meg.
January 26th, 2024  
A fun look at the fate of so many umbrellas! Fav

@will_wooderson Thanks Will.
