Town and Gown

I knew I didn't have much time today to take or process photos so decided to set a challenge that I'd post whatever I could do on the way to school/office, and that it had to be a multiple exposure. This was the best of the few I was able to take so I'm not thrilled, but I wanted to post something taken today. I was trying to capture the idea in the title -- university ("gown" for graduation gowns)/city "town" connection. One image is the the administration building that is a campus eye-sore. Truly horrible architecture. The other is the iconic Sears tower. It was a gorgeous day today as you can see from the sun and bright sky. Photo taken about 1:00 p.m. when the sun was just behind me but very high in the sky. The pink UIC sign on the left actually is part of a banner that goes around the administration building so you can see where it physically sits.
I really like what you have done here...very surrealistic!

I do like how we have to figure out how to "get" the one photo of the day in and how to challenge ourselves while doing it . . . Is this what you were calling 365 diet? I'm almost packed.

Nicely done. I think that it has worked really well.

Did you do that in camera? I'd love to be able to do this, I don't think my camera does it though.

I'm happy to see you make sure you get at least one in per day. In this photo it doesn't look like an eyesore, good job!

@jackie8 On my camera, in settings, there is a choice called multiple exposure. I set it to "on" and then select "2". It then overlays the two photos as I take them. Can be a bit hit or miss, but I don't have the processing tools to do this in post production. thanks for your comment!
