Another Drive-by Shooting

Last February we took a trip to The Green Dragon outside Ephrata and I shot six images as we drove past this guy working on the roof near Morgantown. The individual images were not as sharp as I would have liked so I did nothing with them at the time. Today I combined them, calibrating the overall merge by the worker on the roof and letting the rest of the scene shift around as the perspective changed while the car moved along. The underlying images were at 40%. The worker was clipped out of the top layer and made into the new top layer at 100%.

I wasn't thinking about it at the time, but this is related to the wraparound imaging technique seen here lately

Wonderful work Andrew. It's amazing what you can create from inside a moving vehicle.

This very much reminds me of the work of Jim Kasson. Using a similar technique Jim would take a series of images from a moving car and layer/blend them to create artistic images.

I actually wrote a blog entry on Jim some time ago, well worth a visit if looking to be inspired.

Other photographers have taken single shots whilst in motion to create more simple ICM effects - the following may provide further inspiration.

Cole Thompson's 'Trees from a Train' (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaxPtshSV7s)

Keep up the experimenting Andrew, and enjoy the ride!

Nice work Andrew!
