    Yes, the last two have had a mild Orton effect applied in PS (a layer of Gaussian blur). This seemed to be the most effectve way to portray the way branches glowed in the sunlight.

    Both are interesting compilations. The individual images in the second one are great but I find the jagged white borders detract. Would a narrower black background work better?
    I can relate to the limitations of photography with young kids around! But looking back, they grow up very quickly!

    Tried that... didn't work for me! I agree though that it's not ideal. I wasn't able find a better option which was still able to separate the images enough.

    It's actually four individual exposures blended in post. I prefer this to the long exposures usually seen of waterfalls as it seems to convey more of the energy of the water. It also means I don't have to carry a tripod 😁

    Thanks for the explanation! I agree, it looks great.

    I very much like the creative „jagged“ borders!

    Moment
    Moment is name of exhibition, part of which was shown on billboards in city. And as you can imagine, caused quite lot of polarizing opinions by showing familiar (though AI interpreted) images of destructed buildings.
    Homepage of exhibition www.hetk.info/

    Here is one such billboard, causing 'what if...' or 'I'm grateful that...' thoughts..

    A really cool idea to make a collage of your walk. These are really nicely done, especially the inclusion of the pencils in the first ne.

    I took a look at the links.

    Maybe these are a healthy warning, given all the gung ho military talk revolving around Ukraine and Russia at the moment.

    That is truly frightening.

    I hardly noticed the little flashes of red and yellow to start with, but they actually make the picture.

    Fog is a gift for all of us. I like the last one not because of the hikers but the composition.

    I am not a great fan of collages too. You are right there is always something to capture.

    It is a quite a political statement. I guess it is influenced by Ukraine and what's happening over there.
