Squared – SQ34

Earlier in the week I posted an image of a lilac blossom that was taken using in-camera multiple exposures. I had seen an article online about the technique and realized the menu system the article navigated to show how to achieve the effect was from a Nikon camera. I quickly checked my camera and sure enough I had the same option. I ended up grabbing the tripod and running outside which yielded the lilac image.

I can safely say I was hooked once I looked at the images I had captured. Last night I went out at sunset to grab a few pictures and decided to play again with the technique. This image was taken using three exposures and surprisingly was done hand held. I know I have a fascination with the dandelions but once they turn to seed I think the delicate structure is beautiful. They also lend themselves to a wonderful B&W conversion.

Shapes

Weekly Photo Theme – Shapes

Last week, seeing how I am a little late, our theme was shapes. I will not bore you with any excuses other than I struggled more than I should have.

Maybe I stretched the concept on a few but I think these will work…
