Description
This is a composite of the last six photographs I posted in my gallery.
Mark (anahata.c) was the inspiration for this. He posted a composite of his last six yesterday, and got me thinking! You can see Mark's work HERE
Such fun! If it makes you think you should try it yourself, then I agree. :) Grab your last six pictures and open your favorite photo processing program and go to it!
If it makes you think I've just created an unholy mess, send your complaints to: RR site mail, c/o anahata.c. LOL! :)

Unholy mess?? naahh, more 'holy sh*t' this is awesome! :o)
Wonderful reflection !!
Hmmm! I love yours, and his, but I am not sure I can do this!
Out of another world Tara. Outstanding work. God bless.
A unholy but intriguing mess Tara.
WOW! Looks like alot of awesome reflections. Superbly done Tara :-)
Intriguing I 'd like to try this idea!
Trippy! I like it. Very cool artwork. Love what you can do with a camera.
Great transparency effects. I know this takes creativity, as well as patience & I'd rate this as a rousing success...
I do like these results, but I'm not sure it would work with just any shots. I may have to try it...
I like how this turned out! makes me think that I should give it a go
came out cool
Lol, Mark has created something BIG here!! My last six are still in my camera!! Love what you've done here; lots of shape and shadows and soft colors.
A great result. I get the overwhelming feeling of a place where six different ages are present. You are standing in the middle of a modern city but you can feel the ghosts of centuries past all around you. You know, as you do. Really excellent work.
I get the feeling that there's a whole country that looks a bit like this: overlays and odd crosshatches (of a different sort) that shift according barometric pressure differentials, train schedules, and the moods of various insects-that-are-humans. Either that, or you've discovered M.C. Escher's summer home. Either way, I love the result and as I've been compositing a lot of images lately, it'll be quite easy (or not) for me to do something with my most recent six. We shall see. But in the meantime, I'm going to enjoy the way this plays around and shows us all sorts of relationships that are unexpected but wholly logical. This is quite brilliant, and I'm beginning to think that if I look at this at just the right moment, I'll see the Number-8 train going by. I really like this immensely!
I'm flattered that you thought my idea was interesting enough to do one of your own! And yours is so very different from anything I've ever come up with, in blends. Every image shows so clearly in yours. Like your Jerome Collection blend, your individual images sing through, and that's something I don't do very much. I like Mark's response, and of course Chip's. It's a big night scene to me, with a very congested city block, and these amazing building-spirits just jutting into the night like big gods. The blue of the water-cover makes a luminous strange cast over the buildings. And you have lights inside of arches, behind things, ghostly bits of that Capistrano tower (so clear and yet so ghostly), and those red pots on the bottom: Just great accents to the whole piece. (I'm so glad you let them come forward so much.) This is beautiful, Tara, and I agree with helle that it looks like all kinds of reflections, a form of photography which you're completely at home with. You haven't sacrificed one image, they all intermingle. A scene filled with promise that only night can offer; and a sense of colliding civilizations, comfortably re-appearing as the sun goes down. As if, in our normal cities, there are countless cities which come out at night and speak to each other: We just don't see them with the naked eye. You have here, though. It's beautiful tara. (And I haven't gotten one sitemail of complaint. No reason for anyone to send one, once they see this. "Unholy messes" really do inspire art, don't they?)
What an awesome idea - and you took it to the next level, Tara! This is totally cool - I'm gonna have to try it myself! I really like the way you've combined everything together here - it just works so well!
Interesting Tara!
Jun 3, 2014 8:44:57 pm WOW ! - this is like being in an 'ubiquitous' state of mind ... Tara, this is the first time, that I am using this delicious word, I always wanted to try it and suddenly thought, this could be it ;P - very appropriate methinks and let me know, if I am close ??? ("existing or being everywhere, especially at the same time?") or in the words of Joseph Heller: (omnipresent: "plodded through the shadows fruitlessly like an ubiquitous spook") - say what ? and this is, how I feel about your creation: 'ubiquitious', a marvellous word AND ARTWORK, congratulations ... I love it ! BB
As I was speechless of Marks art, I too am speechless and 'in oh' about your lovely and extremely superb result, Tara. I don't know which program you've used, but what do you think, I only can work with PSP8, would this do it too? You know, I like this even more (I think) then all the other six, so maybe, you can do this more often. It is such a surprising result, I'm exiting about it, my friend.
