    I really like this, the figure of the person creates a powerful sense that he will soon break down the walls. Great idea with this, I dont see too many double exposures.

    Re: Face the two walls!

    Hi Laurie,

    Ineresting... Is that a double exposure with one of the shots being a window reflection? Is that the same bridge but from different angles? This is a neat concept, but the composition is a bit busy for me... not that I'm an expert or anything. Post more ....

    BR,
    Tim

    Re: Face the two walls!

    Two negatives exposed on one print. This is a trial and yeh i think its too busy as well, ill probably pump up the contrasts but lower the exposure time to fade out some of the details a little, ill also dodge out some of the curtain lines that are there too.

    The first negative image used was of the bridge between the two houses and the second is me taking a picture of myself with a timer in my room

    Re: Face the two walls!

    I like the concept of the two negative exposure, and there was actually a book of photography I was looking at in Barnes and Noble the other day of a photographer that did lots of work with this process and really had some amazing images. . .wish i could remember his name.
    I too like the idea here but feel it busy. I think having your "silhouette" darker,especially around the body area, would make it more powerful. Keep it up
    please do not edit and repost my photos

    Love the second shot. The only problem I have will the silhouette is the black lines that are surrounding the silhouette. Looks almost like blind covers if it is a reflection. Other then that, nice shot,

    Re: Face the two walls!

    yeh thats what i though, but i was persuaded to do it with the blinds in and just dodge them out. Now i have reason i shall scan both images in and redo the composition in photoshop minus blind lines in the figures background.

    Thanks for comments
