Maybe it is time to feature a bit of Sue's phone photography. I say phone photography, but yesterday, she resorted to using my beastly Canon.
You see, her theme this week revolves around double exposures, and while she can do some maneuvering by smooshing two separate phone photos together in edit, it doesn't always work well.
My camera can take a double exposure right on the spot. You point your camera at one thing, press the shutter, and then point the camera at something else. You can sort of see the first image as you begin to point at the second image.
In this ↓ photo, She took a photo of the town hall clock tower. Then she took one of her shadow on the ground, and the camera merged them into what you see below.
She wanted the tower and flag centered better, so she worked at it.
I think I prefer the asymmetry of the first photo and the way that the tower adheres to her outlines, but both turned out well in my opinion.
I played a little with that first photo, adding a sunset sky in passing and just for fun.
She took another photo before we left, It uses town hall and a mural for a local theatre/musical ensemble. Depending on the next prompts, she may be able to use it for her group on another day.
A year ago, I never thought that she would be doing more photography than I, but here we are.

Well, who knew? A double exposure!
I agree with your preference for the asymmetrical one. These are really interesting. Any chance that Sue will have her own blog? I'd follow it.
@Boud. Sue once had a blog with family content. It is still open, but she hasn’t used it for many years.
Nice work. Creative lady. I like the first one best, but the whole post is fun.
Oohhh, I like it! I prefer her symmetrical one.
Interesting double exposure shots...without any background to confuse things...yep, that first one is a keeper.
I really like that asymmetrical one! Double exposures can be very evocative.
Way to go, Sue. You’ve come a long way in photography in the last year!
Well done Sue - those are really interesting photos. What a dynamic duo you make with her eye & your skills.
The double exposures are very interesting. I'm so glad you have this wonderful hobby that you share.
Interesting. My eyes do double exposure all the time. I have astigmatism.
I like that first one best too.
These are creative.
I like the first one too.
That's is so awesome. The first first one is startling until your mind figures out what your eye is seeing. I like it!
Never had a camera that could take double exposures.
This is such an interesting post.
what fun! I'm going to have to try this.
I have to say that Sue’s double exposure efforts are WONDERFUL! I am very impressed!!!

Wow, you are so right in your comment about Sue’s photography nearly overtaking your own efforts, John. She has really come up with such creative takes on a subject matter. It’s been years since I have done a double exposure, usually accidental in a film camera so didn’t know that digital ones could do them on purpose. Kudos to Sue.
Can either of you provide details on her class in a future post, if possible? Thanks
You and Sue are so darn creative!
