Any work balancing layers, no matter how carefully prepared, is more
time consuming than not having to do that. And, for me, it would be
nice to have to do nothing except insert IPTC info and resize to my
master PS file, after unRAWing it, of course!
Sure, I'll try to locate a multiple exposure I've done that I like.
I had one a few years ago that I got really excited about when I did
it, but then I grew, and it wasn't so exciting any longer. It was of
multiple hits on a jetty of pretty energetic surf.
And I had another, which I may have already submitted, of the RR
bridge from the mainland to the Cape, with one of the rusty steel
plates of the bridge making texture, and commentary on the sad state
of repair of the bridge, superimposed on it. I think it's on the
Bourne page of my web site.
Recently I tried to set up another one of surf at sunset working its
way along a jetty and hitting boulders as it did. I wanted to get
three or four big splashes but I kept releasing the shutter at the
wrong time. Even then, I'm not sure that would be easier digitally
than doing it in camera. It was a quadruple or quintuple exposure
and it had to be slow enough to silkify the spash, to boot. that
might be easier with the 3 or however many frames per second that the
10D permits, because then I wouldn't be counting dollars for all
those failed attempt. Just sit on the shutter release and do all the
real work later.
nice to have such an array of tools!
