Comments on: Spring impressions… http://www.williamneill.com/blog/index.php/2010/03/spring-impressions/ Welcome to my photography blog. I will be sharing with you my thoughts on landscape and nature photography in general, as well as sharing information specific to my own photography. I hope to also include links to the work by other photographers I find inspiring, products and resources that I find useful. Your comments are welcome.

If so, then i totally misunderstood when i first read the post. I tried something similar after reading this, but did it in-camera. I set my Nikon for multiple exposures on the same frame. After each image, i would change the aperture. I got some really interesting results using three exposures, the first at f22, second at f2.8, and the third also at f2.8. it created quite a "dreamy" effect. I was shooting a flower, with the glass vase behind it. Nothing i would want to post, the comp wasn't the best, and it was just an experiment. But i'm really anxious for Spring to make it to Michigan so i can try the same technique on a larger scale! thanks again for all you do!

I love that the blended background is the same color palette as the flower and stem. Quite a powerful effect when well-executed. I'll have to try it. This is an incredible image.

Interesting to see the difference in treatment, color, etc. I was doing soft focus work and overlays as well. http://staceyglloyd.blogspot.com/2010/03/spring-continues-to-flourish.html Hey Bill, looks like we were both shooting similar subjects last weekend.
