Holding herself still

Holding herself still

Having earlier photographed Grace (6) playing and dancing in front of a pink sheet on the washing line, I later got the idea of having her ‘hold’ one of the earlier images but keeping still. (She actually held a white sheet of paper onto which I layered the second image.) Both shot the same day using a Canon 400D, natural light.

    Thanks, Cathi! I’m looking forward to playing around with the idea a bit more, see what I can do. Would like to go further in, as it were, a picture in a picture in a picture. I know it’s been done before, but not by me! ( :

    You don’t trick me! I knew straight away that that was shot minutes of each other. The idea is nice. I have to say that I like the small poto better than the big one. Maybe if she was looking into the camera there would be more connection between the girl with the photo and the viewer. . Sorry you have to do this all over again. I have something a bit simular to this, have to look it up.

  • micklyn replied

    Lol, I’d love to do this over again… I’ll get there soon, I’m sure. Actually there were plenty of things I’d do different next time, I really was short of time that day… maybe not my best work, but people seem to like it ( :

    I hope that i didn’t offend you. But i like to be honest
    at least its not a ” nice work ” comment, so it means i like it.

  • micklyn replied

    ( : I am sooo not easily offended! and I really like honest comments. In fact, I mostly enter my work into competitions on inspi.re before I post them here, because people are a lot more honest there and you can get a better idea of how good a picture actually is. Most – but not all – of the pics I put on redbubble are ones that I’ve won with or come 2nd or 3rd with on inpi.re ( :
