How did you make this picture? Using multiple exposures? I love it!

  Is there any way to get a shot like that with a digital camera and lens that only costs about $500? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. In the meantime, I use a manual SLR and get film developed onto CDs. Singing the flat broke blues, Lisa

  Cost or an expensive lens is really not the issue, Lisa. The camera has to be capable of performing multiple exposures. Some are and some aren't. I use a Fuji S2, and it does multiple exposures. After having the right equipment, then the look is achieved through a specific technique that is a bit long to explain, but is taught in my online Image Design class and in my book, "Fine Art Nature Photography," which is currently the Book of the Month at Betterphoto.com.

  I love this flower photograph! I bought your DVD and love it also. It was sometimes confusing because it lacked some of the detail I was hoping for like when you did these multiple exposures I didn't see or here what kind of exposure compensation you would need to get this shot at a correct exposure. I tried it and mine seemed overexposed at -3 exposure compensation. Can you give me an idea about that please.
Sincerely,
LaRae Roberts
