Impressionist Photography: Spring Forest Multiple Exposures

I strongly believe in personal projects, because this is how I’m getting to find my style. Ever since discovering Bryan Peterson’s books on photography, I’ve been intrigued by some of his more creative experiments involving impressionist photography.

I used the lone tree in the foreground to break the pattern.

One can create some fascinating pictures using multiple exposures in camera, but it does require quite a bit of experimentation. The end result is something one must learn to anticipate, because it is not possible to see it in the camera viewfinder.

The green colour of the leaves in the spring is something I really like to photograph. It looks really ‘fresh’.

Usually, a subject with patterns works well. Like a forest. This is something I discovered last autumn, and this spring I went back to Blackford Hill to capture the spring colours using impressionist photography techniques.

The bluebells in the foreground attracted my attention, since they added an interesting new tone to the colour palette of the forest.
