New Photo Technique

I put the tripod on the balcony and used the remote control cable for the camera and put it on Aperture Priority. Then I took about five shots, from about 2 in the afternoon till around 8. I combined the photos, massaged the layers and blended each layer with various opacities and blend patterns and this is what I got. I want ultimately to get a really striking weather day and somehow get a continuous blend of the Oratory in daylight in one portion of the photo but nighttime in another portion of the photo. Still, this is a good first experiment. Looks like the Hand Of God up there on the right!

  1. Thanks, Knattie! I got the idea from the guy who recently published a series of photos of places that were half in daylight, half at nighttime. I'll get a link for you soon.

  2. I know that scene very well!
    Great shot of the Oratory....or as we like to call it: Jo's place.
    Very surreal, and very beautiful!
