Delta time capsule

the layering of this is quite astounding aggie. the images all seem to fit extremely well together with jsut enough going on as to give texture and still remain a semblance of detail.

a critique Id give is to use a gridded focusing screen to better align the multiple exposure..... the truck exposure especially would have been alot more successful if it were just a bit higher in the frame.

overall I really like the image and the 6x4.5 format really fits this.

is one exposure a reflection off glass... cause if it's not, that's what I see!

How did you go about the constructing this?

I really like this one Aggie.

Everything seems to "fit" together nicely.

The first layer was a small lagoon that was off one of the many sloughs. The second shot was a wagon wheel display near an old farm house. these two sites were about 5 miles apart. The thrid layer was the old truck. It was still further away, on the way back to the main bridge going back to the bay. Next came a small filed of wild flowers, mostly yarrow. This was on the way back into the deeper part of the delta. Last was a farmstead with the windmill. I new all of the places well, and drove approximately 30 miles from the first shot to the last shot to get that one negative. There was no window reflection in it. It could be the reflection off the water. It was all shot at about 3 pm in the afternoon, in Oct.

You never know what you will get. Some times you get a great composition, others you wonder what you were thinking. I learn more about this the more I shoot. BTW I may use the term layers, but that is just a way to identify what shots I took on that negative. It has nothing to do with photoshop

Fun part was having one of my kids with me. He was frustrated because he wanted me to hurry and get him home so he could play on the computer. I fooled him and shot a couple more rolls. I love frustrating my kids.

every time I look, i see something different - I like that.

This is a really complex shot. I can't stop looking at it. I does seem to reflect parts of history in one frame! Very cool! I'm glad you posted it.

Looks like the way memories get jumble together at times don't it? Really good concept and execution Aggie.

Amazing how many images you layered. My deepest gratitude and congratulations for doing it all the traditional way. Wonderful end result

What a stunning photograph Aggie, as others have said the 5 exposures work very well together and there is a strong sense of memories.

At first I thought it was a reflection in a plate glass window. Then, seeing that it was more complex and focusing on other images, it made me think of looking through the reflections in a car window on a road trip.
Very evocative, nicely executed.
