One thing that I have not come to terms with is (are?) photographs that are simply impossible but which seem to not dissuade the viewer from thinking that they are real.

At the moment I’m thinking of a photograph I saw of the Racetrack in Death Valley - a place I’ve visited and photographed a number of times. The photo in question included an absolutely stunning sky (or a sort that I’ve never seen in the desert) with gorgeous sunset light… coming from directly north of the playa.

Nope. I didn’t like that one at all.

Dan… I’ve seen this technique to merge photos… inserting the sky from another photo. This is a whole different level of photo manipulation. Digital double exposures are not as easily contained as film double exposures. In camera work placed certain limitations on the technique. With digital its completely open and that is were this technique can blur into photo collage or photo illustration.

Jim,

In-camera double exposure is a once-in-a-bluemoon thingie for me… I only experiment when I can get my hands on a camera that supports it… Like the Nikon D200. It’s interesting, but I’ve never really liked multiple exposure photography…
