Multiple Exposure Sandwich

Multiple exposure sandwich

I really like what you have achieved with this technique.

Judi, beautiful colors...softness adds to it all!!

Gorgeous!!!

Want to explain how you produced it? It's unusual, creative, and appealing.

It is the same technique that used to be done with slides, so called "slide sandwich" technique. Here is the technique done with a digital camera: 1) take one shot; 2) take another shot (exact same) but this time defocus a little and increase your brightness level; 3) take the 2 shots into PS as 2 different layers with the defocused one on bottom; 4) change the opacity of the top layer until you have the effect you want. It works best with mid-tone shots. I took several shots and then chose the two that I liked the brightness level on one of the defocused ones. A tripod is obviously critical. A lack of wind is also important. You can also do this entire technique in PS with just one shot but that takes the photo-technique out of it.

 

Thank you all for your kind comments! I appreciate it!

I've much to learn.

I try to get the same look, but without the layers and without any filters or PS. I really like how this looks. Thanks. John Math
