Hi guys!
I have done a little series of 9 images (here are 3 of them) taken on a boat using the ICM technique and by blending two exposures in-camera.
The idea was to take the first shot with a motion, and the second shot with the same motion, but with the camera flipped upside down to get symmetry in the final image.
Have a great day!
Now THIS is abstract, Jonas! Well done. Love them all, especially the second one; for me it evokes a sense of a treacherous valley, like a linear black hole. The first evokes an undersea world, like looking up at a breaking wave from beneath. The final one has shades of liquid, fire, drapery and disorienting motion. I love the colour in each, whether it was there or you did it yourself in post.
I'd have had NO idea how you made these - and so much the better for that!
Let's see more from you!
I will agree with everything that you said, Chris. The second is absolutely my favorite. Great work, Jonas!
Thanks a lot Chris, really appreciated it! The colors were kind of here as it's water, but I did tweak them to get what I wanted :)
I like it. When I first looked at them I thought it was the wake of water that trails behind a boat or motor. Your explanation that it was a boat confirmed my suspicions. Unless someone has owned/ridden in a boat, I don't think they would figure out what it was. Very cool though.
Thank you so much! It was on a sternwheeler boat, with the wheels on the side, so the wave created by them are on the side of the boat, not behind it :)
That is a nice boat. My father had a small trihull boat, it too would put a wake on the side of the boat where you could see it when you were sitting in the bow (front) of the boat. I no longer have my boat so I cannot do any experimenting with wake. But nice images non the less.
Nothing to do with your fine images, Jonas, but to be pedantic the "Italie" is a sidewheeler. She's very graceful, as many are. Below is a sternwheeler.
Above all else I love the creativity behind these Jonas. The fact that you chose blend and to rotate the images results in tricks being played on the mind.
Excellent thought-provoking work!
Explain to me how to do a multi-exposure image on a DSLR. I was playing with my menu settings and happened to see a multi-exposure setting. I had no idea DSLRs could do this (a newbie as you can tell). I enjoyed all your photos, Jonas; the colors and the merging of everything is beautiful!
Hi Jenny, Here is how you do it on your Canon 90d https://support.usa.canon.com/kb/index?page=content&id=ART176867
But you may not want to do it that way. Reason being, you set the number of images you want, they are all blended together in camera either as average or additive. This would be like back in the film days. All the images you shot would be lost and only the one the camera created would be saved. I think it is recommended you take the shots then put them into photoshop and put them together. That way you have much more control over how you want it done.
Agreed - you would have more options by taking a number of shots and choose what to include in Photoshop.
Kudos Rich on achieving this in-camera.
