The Lamp Shade

Gallery: Photo ArtPosted October 17, 2013758 views11 comments

Although this is obviously a fantasy, it is a photo that I created in-camera. I chose a multiple exposure of two photos. I first photographed the hair moss from close-by, making sure there was nothing disturbing in the top part of the photo. Then I turned the camera upside down and photographed a nearby mushroom from a bit further away, taking care not to create an overlap in the final image. This is the result as it appeared on my screen...

Very cool image! Nice comp and colors. It does look like a lamp shade, but it also looks like it could be a flying saucer hovering mysteriously over the moss on a foggy day.

Ingrid, that's some nice in camera work. An exercise for the working mind while in the field!

very creative, and well done. The lamp shade is really glowing :). The focus in both top and bottom is right where it needs to be.
