‘Vietnam’ Fujifilm X-T20 @ F2.8 1/75s, ISO3200, 21mm Musicians working together in a tight space, engrossed in a symbiotic rhythm, difficult to capture as one. By taking this double exposure, I was able to blend their energy together into a single image. There's a really good balance here between the instruments and the concentrated faces of the band. DOUBLE EXPOSURE I haven’t shot a lot of these types of images, but wellconstructed double-exposures can be really powerful. Using a strong silhouette outline to frame a face, or a broader background image overlaid with a close-up detail can work really well. Here is a double exposure I shot of the band ‘Vietnam’, during their rehearsal. REFLECTIONS This is probably my favourite creative technique – shiny surfaces such as mirrors, water, or shopfront reflections can provide a great opportunity to set up an image with complex layering. When contemplating an image like this, start with the static view through your camera which sets the tone for the image and decide how much depth of field to add, whether the focus plane should be that background or the reflection, and then wait for those extra elements, (people, cars etc.) to round out the frame. SILHOUETTES Metering is key to a good silhouette. By that I mean, you want to try and capture the darkest shadows in part of your image for maximum effect. So, look for high-contrast situations with interesting, discernible edges and expose your shot on the highlights. Ideally, you don’t want any detail in the shadows – just the edges. Complex textures such as the stormy skies captured in the waterfront dive platform image can increase impact for the viewer. 54 May 2022 NZPhotographer
Floridita’s Fujifilm X-T20 @ F1.2, 1/240s, ISO400, 85mm The light was just right (roughly equal inside and out) for this reflection shot through a popular Wellington eatery window. The colours, and hanging lights sat nicely over the girl behind the counter, while the character buildings opposite converged nicely into the shelf full of glassware. Meridian Leica Q2, 28mm ISO 160 f13 1/250 sec. Wandering the waterfront, I stumbled across this nice reflection. Although I’m an Architect by trade, I don’t often take photos of structures. I waited for someone to wander into the scene to create some scale and context, and snap!
