How to Shoot Fine Art Flowers Like Tony Sweet Hello! I just purchased Tony Sweet's book, Fine Art Flower Photography I love the images done with multiple exposures (first image sharp, second, etc., with exposure adjustments and somewhat out of focus) for a surreal look on the final printout. Can you shoot same series of shots in digital, then sandwich in Photoshop so that the end result looks similar? Editor's Note: Tony Sweet also teaches the Fine Art Flower Photography" online course here at BetterPhoto.com.

Layer two images, and adjust the opacity of the out-of-focus layer so the focused layer shows through. You can use a layer mask and a low-opacity level with the paint brush colored black to fine-tune spots where you want more transparency to areas.

If you go to www.photosbysharon.com, there is a tutorial there that explains it in detail. The photo "Quakie Sandwich" in my gallery was created using this technique. Hope this helps.

Hi Deborah. One technique I use is to create a duplicate layer then use the gaussian blur filter on this layer. Play with the amount, so it's not completely blurred to be unrecognizable, then adjust the opacity of that layer to taste. Not sure if that's the look you're going for but you may find it useful. It's also quick. RAM
