One of the partial images were in focus, otherwise you got it right.

Meaning this is a double exposure. Wonderful thing.
Should use that more often!

[Bjørn Rørslett]

Actually, *multiple* exposures. Takes some practice to learn and still behaves a little unpredictable for subjects in movement. The unpredictability means you get a lot of wasted captures and the occasional great one.

This is funny...I was actually playing with a very similar approach from our terrace, shooting 5 exposures of a cluster of high grass straws swaying in the wind. Never produced any image of it but will certainly try it again. Thanks for this wonderful image sharing Bjørn!

[Bjørn Rørslett]

Ensure that at least the "most significant" of the partial images is with the aperture of the lens rather wide open. You might not want each partial image to be very sharp otherwise they might not combine in a visually pleasing manner.

As stated before, this is a technique that requires a lot of practice and of course some good luck as well. So actually not that much different from ordinary photography after all.

Just discovering this thread.

Beautiful image, like painting. A fair result for long and very technical shooting process.

Pastel colors and perfect compo makes it successful.

As a matter of fact, it seems that some ''enigmatic rules'' of composition/aesthetics applied here, certainly by chance, I mean naturally, without concentration, hence this pleasant  compo.

So actually not that much different from ordinary photography after all.

Well, except the long time you spent, and probably in freezing conditions .

[Bjørn Rørslett]

Nah, not freezing, just very windy in combination with spring temperature.
