Skywatch Friday: Spacious Skies

This is a double exposure done with a Holga 120N and Kodak Tri-X400 developed in Diafine. The first exposure was done pointing the camera up at the clouds through the trees overhead. For the second, the camera was aimed at a veteran's grave in the cemetery where I was standing. The grave marker doesn't show up in the final image, but the small American flag placed next to it does--another interesting toy camera accident.

Have to agree with Gemma, love the overlay and there is definitely a moody feel to the shot and a very lovely one it is, David! Have a great weekend!

I love this shot and I'm glad you mentioned the flag as I might have missed it otherwise.

A mysterious photo. Clever camera tricks. I could not find the flag though. Valerie

Thanks to all for the comments. The stripes of the small flag are below the clouds and to the left of the tree.

Wow! I agreed with Gemma, the overlay really does add drama to the shot. I am thinking about buyng a Holga, so this definitely food for thought! Thanks for posting.
