November 2024 - Metamorphose Landscape Study 1
About the Image(s)
From the limited series of work titled "Metamorphose" registered on B&W film, and are results of in-camera Double exposures. Early morning light and rolling fog are key elements that caught my attention while vacationing in Blue ridge, Ga.
The resulting image should imbue both "Yugen" and "Rasa Theory" notions of Japanese and Indian aesthetics respectively: imbuing both mystery, and ... 'an essential element of any work of visual, literary, or performing art that (can only be suggested, not described) ...' respectively.
Hopefully the spectator enjoys a moment of contemplative intrigue when studying the work.

Lance, I think you achieved your goal. Interesting and mysterious made all the more so by the atmosphere and intense graininess of your image. I like it a lot. Posted: 11/07/2024 00:09:28

The subtlety captured in this image is very pleasant. I like the grain, too.
The fog is real! It seems to have obliterated blackness.
When choosing double exposure, does it matter which image is taken first? Does the first image have dominance? Posted: 11/07/2024 23:12:26

Good question Elsie: not necessarily which image is recorded first, but which image has more prominence due to its luminosity or perhaps, how bold the shape/structure of the "thing" is, compared to other accompany/surrounding artifacts due to lighting and shadows, for example.
For example, the foreground trees are more prominent because they were not partially obscured by fog. Posted: 11/12/2024 11:34:55
