More multiple exposure images

February 05, 2025  •  Leave a Comment

Somehow I’ve got very behind with adding images and writing blogs so I’m going to have a bit of a catch up.

In October I had a little flurry of making multiple exposure images. I belong to a wonderful all ladies’ photography group (SheClicks) and each month we are set a challenge theme. In October we were set the theme of ‘multiple exposures’ (ME). In the past I have occasionally made ME images but last October I tried hard to make ME images wherever I went. We are able to submit 5 images for the monthly challenge. My first was the mountain image in the previous blog.

The next image (top left here) was made at Deal Pier which I love. It’s not everyone’s idea of a seaside pier but I love the Brutalist architecture and the elegant modern lamps. We visited it in October and I knew I wanted to make a ME image there for the challenge.

The next image (top right) was taken whilst walking along the South Bank one evening with a group of SheClicks friends. I loved the contrast of the cool blue-grey buildings and the warm lights but wanted to make more of orange so, at the time I created a second image to layer over the image of the buildings.

The third image here (bottom left) was created from two images of leaves, taken at a local garden, merged in with two circles created in Photoshop. Playing with the blending modes of the layers I loved the slightly Art Nouveau/Japanese feel.

The last image in this set of four was created from pictures taken at the same garden as the leaves, again with shapes added in Photoshop. I used the colours of the shapes to emphasise the colours of the flowers (Japanese anemones) and the beautiful blue sky.

Mountain multiple exposure

A little mountain multi-exposure to start the Autumn season. My Sony A6700 doesn't allow me to make multiple exposures in camera so I use Photoshop which allows for so many options, which means so many choices! This is made from four files taken from the same spot. I love the late afternoon soft light and colours.

 


Fading meadows

The start of September has really brought a change in the weather. I'm still hoping for some sunny days but you can tell autumn is just around the corner. Over the last few years I've spotted some of these huge 'dandelion clocks' appearing in the fields locally. I believe they are called Jack-go-to-bed-at-noon, meadow salsify, showy goat's-beard or meadow goat's-beard. Whatever they are called, I think they're rather lovely!

Another summer image, this time from an evening walk in a local field a couple of weeks ago. The field has been planted with a mix of plants beneficial to wildlife which includes a (unknown) yellow flower which really glowed in the evening light.

Just a summer flower, I loved the colours in this dahlia (have I mentioned I hate pink!) and those in the background, they just say 'summer garden' to me.
