How did you make this image? #109

by Ed Knepley

An in-camera Orton technique image

Winter Jasmine

True to its name – in bloom now in January

A blossom is finger nail sized

Rain drops are pin-head sized

300 feet down the street

Nikon D800E (using the Image Overlay option) on tripod

105 mm Nikkor 1:1 macro with 1.4 X teleconverter; circular polarizer

LiveView focus to nail the tiny water drops on the front center flower

5-second timer delay + mirror up to eliminate shake

Cropped from 4 x 6 to 4 x 5

Lost 6 MP, only 30 MP left

Six steps from capture to final

Capture vs Final

One of my Winter Jasmine favorites.

Among my very first multiple exposures

Made 10 years ago with my 2nd camera – a 5 MP Nikon P&S

I was ecstatic at the time – thought wow, wow, wow

Some of us are easily pleased
