The "stack" is an actual trail left by the new moon as it got panned across the viewfinder. I then foreshortened a full moon shot and stacked in on top of where the shadowed side of the original ended up.
Perpignan, France. Visa pour l'Image 2008 (photojournalism festival).
Essai de superposition de deux points de vue d'une même expo.
Somehow the checkerboarded glass look seems like it be a nifty pattern for a meeting room. Plus, you could use Post-It notes to play chess on the wall.
Another shot from my trip to Berlin-Wannsee. It took nearly half an hour to get a goot perspective through the fence...
I did not used to like to do post processing, but now I suddenly got "all into it" - and having fun. A creation out of a creation.
The two women in my life caught napping.
Hand processed in gimp from a raw file off my camera. The photo was taken in low light, and I used fairly aggressive noise reduction.
Submission to PostProcess - not my own photo!!!
Original photo by JacobDavis, manipulation by me. (See also this thread over at the group.)
As I explained in the comments on this photo, I really dislike editing my own photos. At the same time, I ahhh.. I kind of can't stand it when people are totally anti-digital or anti-editing. Yes, I shoot film and yes, I prefer to edit my own photographs as little as possible, but I can appreciate the images that other people create with the help of Photoshop et al. And oh, yeah, I do love Photoshop.
Also: I believe some photos just require editing/manipulation. Or rather, there are situations that call for editing. E.g. I've recently had the chance to photograph at two events to which someone like me (= an 'amateur photographer') does not usually have 'access' - one was a fashion show, the other one was the premiere of a musical (photos to follow..). Now, I only took these pictures for fun/for myself, but I did think/couldn't help thinking about.. the 'professional side' of it, i.e. about how the whole situation has to be totally different for someone who does these things professionally/for a living and how one's forced to adapt to one's circumstances if that's the case. Of course all these pro photographers have WAY better (and more, and more modern) equipment than I do (and of course they all shoot digital), but well, you only have so much control over 'live situations'.
I shot some of rolls on both occasions, and even though I did manage to take a couple of photos that I'm really pleased with, I probably wouldn't (couldn't!) use (sell! - since I'm already talking about the 'professional side' of things) them "as is" for e.g. publication in a (high-quality) magazine, or a comp card. Nope. They'd have to get 'touched up' first. And that's OK because that's just how things work. Everybody does it/has to do it. Bla bla bla.
Okay, what was my point? Ah, yeah: that editing isn't bad. :P
Editing can actually be really neat. And fun. Yes, I'm having FUN editing those photos in order to make them look 'better' and more 'professional'. Or just cool.
Over and out.
