beautiful. love the addition of a little blue to the shirt - made it look much more like a painting to me.

Wonderful. I don't know if you could provide a bit more detail on the use of Photoshop/Lightroom to accomplish this. I guess I need to learn Photoshop because while I understand the concept well, I don't know how to use the software well enough right now to do it.

Great technique that I’ll have to try!

Very inspiring! Gets the creative juices flowing! 😊

Hi Ngocl1. Let's thank YT for that. And I'm glad you like it. It takes a little practice, not a lot, just a little to get the camera movement you desire. You can succeed on a single frame or multiple stacked in PS, as the video demonstrated. Either way, the outcome is very satisfying. GOOD LUCK!

I'm going to try this on the weekend, Alec. Great idea. Can I ask how and if you aligned the layers in PS before you blended them?

Hi David, thanks for the question. I did a bit of manual alignment on some of the layers, but not all of them. Just aligned to taste. ;)

@@davidturner5 No problem. I have challenges each time I go out for a little ICM work. Finding good subject matter, good light and getting the camera movements right, what ever that means. I'm starting to favor longer exposures, 2+ seconds, with very subtle movement of the camera. And my last two outings were FAILURES!!! heheheeh.

Good thing we're not doing this with film cameras. I'd be broke in a month.@@acjohnson_photo

I really like Sony cameras but isn’t it too bad that they are almost the only camera that does not offer in camera multiple exposures. I asked Sony about this and their response was “ this is an amateur feature and the A7/A7r, A1 etc are professional cameras. So for my ICM/multiple shooting I use the very “amateur” Nikon Z9 or the DSLR Nikon D850 😂. I do however like the control you have shown by doing the processing in PS with individual layers … will try my Sony for this. Great video, thanks!

It's my singular frustration! So I set a longer exposure and cover the lens with my hand. eeesshhh.

Is that your community hat - or is it cold inside?
