Sunday morning and Apple blossoms


I try to make sure I get my camera out at least once every weekend, today the subject was apple blossoms. Two of these shots are straight forward documentary style photos. The other two are impressionistic, one (the red crab apple) is a multiple (five) exposure shot taken in camera and the second, also created in camera is a digital version of what is known as the Orton effect. The original Orton images were created by sandwiching two slides of the same subject, one in focus and the other out of focus and then rephotographing the image. I simply took two exposures, just as with the multiple exposure shot, but one in focus and the other out of focus.

I like these impressionistic images as they have a dream like quality that is quite representative of how I feel about the subject.
