Seeing Double

[JimFox]

This is from the 4th of July Fireworks display at Estes Lake in Estes Park Colorado. Once I had my exposure was set (f5.6, 3.2 secs, ISO 100) I just locked in the shutter remote and let it go. As I scrolled the images from the Sony A6400 with the 12mm Samyang lens, I found where it had captured what looked like the same firework shooting off to the left first, and the next image was the same firework shooting off to the right. So in Photoshop I layered them on top of each other and the top frame I changed the Layer Mode to Lighten and they blended perfectly I think.

All comments are welcome,

Jim

Great idea, I think it came out fine.

Nice composite - the result certainly works for my eyes.

Nicely done. The blend worked great.

It's a nice Blend... Not a Composite since nothing was pasted in, simply a blending mode change.

I am glad you like it Alan, I have a ton of cool shots from the fireworks display. I want to do a slide show with them, but really slide shows should be horizontal and almost all of my still photos are vertical in order to get the reflection. So I am not sure how I will pull that off.

Beautiful image, Jim. The bottom reflection looks like penstemon flowers growing upward to make a nice foreground.

I appreciate that Jameel.

Yeah, the reflections turned out really cool. I need to figure out how to capture all of the reflections next year.
