When flipping through my negatives from my trip to Toronto, mentioned in the last post, I came across this photo of a pair of boots:
It led to me thinking about how I had been taught a double exposure. Then that thought spinning in my head ended it up with me doing a triple exposure, thinking it would be absolutely awesome if I put a similar image on each boot. So I remembered I had taken a couple pictures of a couple skating.
I did test strips to find a good exposure time for the two images of the skaters, and then found a good time for the boots.
I then burned and dodged the spots where the photos would go, switching between three enlargers. (Not an easy task!) This was frustrating at times as one wrong move, like laying the paper down slightly out of line would wreck the entire composition.
After numerous times of exposing and developing, finding the right times and placements, I came up with a composition I am truly proud of:
so seamless. lovely.
