I am looking forward to this. A new theme for me so looking forward to having a go.
Saw the theme at breakfast whilst away in the Dales. Was visiting the Muker Flowermeadows and thought I`d have a go. This is an in camera double exposure of a field of flowers merged with a shepherds barn in the same field - trying to give a combined picture of what`s there. It is really beautiful in May and June with 12 fields sewn with wildflowers by the local farmers.

I've not done double exposure in camera - I will give it a go at the weekend if the weather is kind - if it works it will be in the comp, otherwise it will be photoshop!
I had a go with two photos in photoshop. As a first effort it's not too bad but definitely room for improvement.
I had to watch a couple of YouTube tutorials on how to edit and it was a mare. I'm so bad with photoshop but the videos do help.
This was my first effort. Not great and just shows to me how much you need to get both images right. In this one the tree branches go across his face and dont look right to my eye.

My second effort is similar but I found a better video on YouTube that helped. Still needs work but not sure I have much time left. Working this weekend so may not get more chances.

Mine is quite an old one again, although I have re-edited it for this challenge. Taken in camera and tarted up in On1. Using my older K10 and the kit weatherproof lens.
Seemed appropriate as there has been apocalyptic rain and thunder storms here, basement flooded twice in less than 2 weeks. The second one, overnight Friday was the worst because the power went out and the generator refused to start, so no pump. Still drying it out now.

Time has again alluded me from anything this week.
I couldn't get my image overlay to work in-camera. >:(
