So this month’s theme is Double Exposure. I unfortunately have an old DSLR that does NOT have a double exposure function, which means I have to do it in Photoshop. I did however find that one of my favorite photography phone apps has a double exposure function, so some of my photos are done in photoshop and some are done in my phone app.
My first image was one that I did in the app using a picture I took of one of my antique cameras and another picture I took of a flower a while back. So every aspect of this image was done with the phone, except I used photoshop to add my watermark.
This next image is two of my favorite things – the Milky Way (at my favorite vacation spot) and a piano. These photos were taken with my DSLR and merged with the phone app.
The next four images are of myself and my family members with something that we love. First up is my husband and a baseball. These images were taken with my DSLR and merged in Photoshop.
Next is my son. He LOVES the outdoors and climbing trees. So I took a picture of him (with my phone) and a picture of some branches of a tree (also with my phone) and double exposed them in the phone app. I have to say, this is probably one of my favorites.
My daughter’s images were also taken with my phone and double exposed in the app. She is an avid reader, so the other image is of some of her favorite books.
(Their pictures kind of remind me of those childhood profile cutouts we did in school as children.)
Last is a self portrait of me that I took several years ago. I LOVE playing the piano and have been playing since I was five, so I double exposed the image of me with a picture I took of our piano. I took the images with my DSLR, but I double exposed them in the phone app.
I hope you enjoyed my take on this month’s theme. Oh, and if you are like me and your DSLR does not have a Double Exposure function, download the app Snapseed. It’s a great photography app!

Katherine these are awesome. There are some really nice double exposure apps out there that I have used. Having done it now in Photoshop I think I will do it more. I love the image of your daughter. Tolkien is also one of my favorites. Did you know that he was born in South Africa. 🙂
Wow gorgeous results. You’ll have to let me know what the app is so I can have a go. I think all your images have turned out amazing but I have fallen in love totally with your first image with the camera!
A wonderfully personal collection of images! I think I love the camera one the most ?
Your creativity is soaring here! What incredible images. The first one is my favorite – the monochrome and subjects combine to create a very striking image. <3
