I promise I will try to curb my current addiction to the in-camera double exposure, as this is also starting to annoy my family :) But for today - another shot, with a moth that we found on our window sill. It is actually very much fun to try figure out which shots would work together and try to get hem on the spot. For this one - I wish I had a different background for the moth, as the pattern (since it was pretty close-up), showed up on the skin.
As always, I very much appreciate your critique, opinions and input.
I'm digging your current addiction but can well understand hearing protests from the family. It's just the boy and me but he's got plenty to say about several of my addictions.
Don't curb your addiction on our account! I'm really enjoying them, while being a little envious because my cameras don't the facility. The combination of the moth and the t-shirt graphic works wonderfully well in this one. ☺
@taffy Thank you, Taffy! I tried the "normal" double exposures and figured I was not too much into overlapping patterns, but I really like the effects like this that you can create with using more or less "clean" background for subjects. It was fun to experiment.
@kimdavis I think you can also fairly easily do it with any photo processing software - worth trying, it was fun to see what kinds of different effects this can create.
@voiceprintz Oh they have their opinions, don't they? My little one is currently completely against me doing anything on my computer - which is usually the 365 anyway. "No mama, don't look there, come play with me!" is his mantra nowadays. :)
@dragondreams Thanks, Paul. You could try combine two shots in post-processing. Same effect, but you have more control over the placing of different elements, which might be also very helpful and allow for more creative effects.
@dmcoile Indeed, Dianna - what I liked most is having two shots where the main subjects stands down against a darker (or just one-tone) background. Then no patterns will show up on the lighter parts of the main subject - like the cloud-eating picture, where I placed the kid in the balcony door, with the darker room inside, and the cloud was an isolated one in a bright blue sky. For me, otherwise, the shots looked too busy and lacking the focus on the subject with all the extra patterns. Good luck if you decide to experiment more!
Thank you so much! I only noticed the dragon eyes on the t-shirt after we did the shot, and I agree - I think they added something to the shot! (I wish I could claim to be a better photographer and be "in charge" of my subject and say - oh yes, we wore this t-shirt specifically for this shot! ) :) Thank you very much for your comments!!!!!!
