Pool Fun by seanoneill

Pool Fun

We had some fun taking multiple exposure shots at the pool.

It reminded me of my favourite Dr Seuss poem, "Too Many Daves".

Did I ever tell you that Mrs. McCave
Had twenty-three sons, and she named them all Dave?
Well, she did. And that wasn't a smart thing to do.
You see, when she wants one, and calls out "Yoo-Hoo!
Come into the house, Dave!" she doesn't get one.
All twenty-three Daves of hers come on the run!

This makes things quite difficult at the McCaves'
As you can imagine, with so many Daves.
And often she wishes that, when they were born,
She had named one of them Bodkin Van Horn.
And one of them Hoos-Foos. And one of them Snimm.
And one of them Hot-Shot. And one Sunny Jim.
And one of them Shadrack. And one of them Blinkey.
And one of them Stuffy. And one of them Stinkey.
Another one Putt-Putt. Another one Moon Face.
Another one Marvin O'Gravel Balloon Face.
And one of them Ziggy. And one Soggy Muff.
One Buffalo Bill. And one Biffalo Buff.
And one of them Sneepy. And one Weepy Weed.
And one Paris Garters. And one Harris Tweed.
And one of them Sir Michael Carmichael Zutt.
And one of them Oliver Boliver Butt.
And one of them Zanzibar Buck-Buck McFate . . . .
But she didn't do it. And now it's too late.

It never fails to make me smile. If I ever own my own racehorse, I will call it Oliver Boliver Butt.
Nice work

lol, that's very cool - if this is multiple exposure it fits this week's camera settings challenge

That is awesome, and I never heard that one before. We have a lot of Dr. Seuss floating around here too.

Great shot and I love that story too.

This is fun, do you do this on your camera or editing?
August 26th, 2012  
Cool funny shot!! :)

@fannyb editing in CS5. Very easy...
August 26th, 2012  
CS5 ? I was interested because Peter de Graaf was taliking about taking multiple exposures on the camera, sure ly thats not possible on modern cameras?

@fannyb Ahh, we may be at cross purposes here. No, a modern camera like yours I don't think multiple exposures to create 1 image in camera is poss. With this shot, you need atripod and some planning. Then you merge all your shots as layers in PS and using the eraser tool add in all the people. It took about 30 minutes to set this up, take the shots and process in Photoshop.

You are amazing!!! Time seems to be the one element I lack at the moment!!...apart from expertise of course Ha ha!!

Great shot - great poem! You could do it in camera with the D300s couldn't you Sean? My K5 does up to 9 exposures.
