Each Spring these Laurnum trees at Vandusen Garden bloom and create quite the spectacle. My goal with this shot was to create something with a painterly quality to it. I decided to do a 10 shot multiple-exposure.
Some times I hand hold the camera. As a result, because you can’t keep the camera completely still, with each shot you take there is a certain amount of overlap and this is what creates the effect.
Other times I use a tripod so that I am in more control of the overlap. By tapping the tripod as I release the shutter there is some camera movement but it is to a lesser degree than with handholding.
As you can see it creates an image that at first glance looks more like a painting than a photograph. This technique works best when you have a subject with lots of texture such as these trees.
