The Weekly Photo – April 25

Well, there are no flowers around here yet so I dug up this image from my archives taken in Skagit Valley, Washington many years ago. This image is a triple exposure on Fujichrome Velvia 50 slide film. I used my Canon 300mm f4lLlens at f4 and made three exposures on one frame of film. For each exposure I focused on a different line of flowers and so the result is a dreamy-looking image with different areas of sharp focus. To get this result in camera was a thrill and over the years this image has been a popular seller.

Beautiful image, Darwin. The colors are so beautifully saturated.

Much like the Orton Effect.

A beautiful dreamy image Darwin. Great technique from the pre digital era. If this was taken today it could be tagged as photoshopped (not that I would) – it just goes to show what is possible without Photoshop.
