The muted early tones evoke rather different feelings than the bright fall colours<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It is generally a bad idea to dismiss a photographic idea without giving it a try, I have learned. Sure, sometimes my initial gut feeling that I won\u2019t get interesting pictures is confirmed. But I found that if I really try to explore the subject, I will at worst come up with some better ideas for next time, and at best get some more photographs to add to my body of work. It\u2019s always worth a try.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_627\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-627\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/philippemonthoux.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Philippe-Monthoux-Edinburgh-Impressionist-Photography-Winter-Forest-Multiple-Exposures-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-627\" src=\"http:\/\/philippemonthoux.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Philippe-Monthoux-Edinburgh-Impressionist-Photography-Winter-Forest-Multiple-Exposures-2-800x531.jpg\" alt=\"Multiple exposures of winter forest scene in Blackford Hill, Edinburgh\" width=\"800\" height=\"531\" srcset=\"https:\/\/philippemonthoux.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Philippe-Monthoux-Edinburgh-Impressionist-Photography-Winter-Forest-Multiple-Exposures-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/philippemonthoux.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Philippe-Monthoux-Edinburgh-Impressionist-Photography-Winter-Forest-Multiple-Exposures-2-624x414.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-627\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">I found there was a lot of dead wood lying on the ground during this winter, and these horizontal lines interfered with the vertical tree lines when taking the multiple exposures. So I had to find a way to frame my photographs without the wood on the ground. This is one of the few pictures where I managed to do that.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>So I decided this time around to go back to Blackford Hill and see if there weren\u2019t any interesting images to capture during the winter season. I was pleasantly surprised. This post shows my favourite multiple exposure photographs of the winter forest in Blackford Hill.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_628\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-628\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/philippemonthoux.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Philippe-Monthoux-Edinburgh-Impressionist-Photography-Winter-Forest-Multiple-Exposures-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-628\" src=\"http:\/\/philippemonthoux.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Philippe-Monthoux-Edinburgh-Impressionist-Photography-Winter-Forest-Multiple-Exposures-3-800x531.jpg\" alt=\"Multiple exposures of winter forest scene in Blackford Hill, Edinburgh\" width=\"800\" height=\"531\" srcset=\"https:\/\/philippemonthoux.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Philippe-Monthoux-Edinburgh-Impressionist-Photography-Winter-Forest-Multiple-Exposures-3.jpg 800w, https:\/\/philippemonthoux.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Philippe-Monthoux-Edinburgh-Impressionist-Photography-Winter-Forest-Multiple-Exposures-3-624x414.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-628\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">This is a picture I would never have taken even a year ago, and was a very pleasant surprise.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Sure, I prefer the fall (my favourite season for this kind of project) or the spring, but the muted earthly tones found during the winter season have an appeal of their own.
