Slide film with multiple exposures...

Click to enlarge.

My old Nikon 8008 had multiple exposure capabilities. It has been so long since I worked with it, I cannot remember much about it. I am pretty sure I underexposed each exposure by one stop and that is about all I remember. I think I have a few more multiple exposures that I messed around with but I don't think I liked any as much as I liked this one.

You can accomplish the same thing with digital just by doing a collage...I am sure most programs have some way of accomplishing this. But the one I first started to use that is free on-line. It is Picasa. It is so simple...choose the photos you want to use--after you pick one, click on hold down at the bottom. Choose your next pictures and click hold after each one. Then click the button Collage and choose multiple exposure.

Below are two photos I chose and the last photo shows them layered together as a multiple exposure. In digital I have not worked with more than two exposures, but in film I would sometimes do 3 or 4...and some time I will probably end up playing with more in digital.

Sky Watch evening views....

As usual, click to enlarge.

These were all taken after that short storm on Sunday.
They turned out darker than it actually was, but I liked the affect so I left them basically as I took them.

I hope you enjoy them half as much as I did when I took them.
If you want to join Sky Watch, go see Tom at Wigger's World.

Imperial Moth

I am pretty sure this is an imperial moth. I notice some of us have either been posting some of these beauties--well, butterflies mostly, but I always think of moths when I think of butterflies. Anyway, I found Butterflies and Moths of North America and that will be helpful to some of us. The thumbnails of the photos in the gallery are not real great, but most of the time the ones I clicked to enlarge were pretty decent photographs.

And THIS is another place I found with photographs--I don't think it quite as good as the one listed above but it isn't too bad.
