"Mt St Helens and Spirit Lake" by Jim Thode

Washington State, USA

I'm a little fuzzy on this layering technique and not sure if this photo fits the requirement. This posted image was three photos combined, one exposed for the foreground one for the middle area and one for the sky. If this does not meet the bar, feel free to delete it.

Thanks Nico. Your right, that the camera was on a tripod for this shot. It was also fixed on a tripod for the Whiskey Creek "ferns and creek" picture. Maybe I can find something that is more layered to replace the Whiskey Creek one.

Jim, I agree with Cindy's comment. And that is also why I thought this is different to your previous post. In that one, I interpreted your comments that it really was to different pics (different scenes) combined into a single composite. Here, though, my interpretation is that your camera position probably remained absolutely static and you then merged three exposures of the same scene. This image definitely has layers in its composition and it is one single scene composed "in camera". Hope my coments are not too confusing and that I made clear why I think this is perfectly legal and the other one probably not? Excellent photograph, as per your usual high standards. Regards Nico

wowza Jim - love the sky! And great catch on the choke cherry in full reds. My understanding is it is strictly a compositional challenge of having layers of subject matter throughout the depth of the scene - so no worries this fits the bill quite nicely from a compositional standpoint. The post processing or how you achieved it is not the important part. Cindy
