I'm not sophisticated in PS to know exactly how you did this, but it caught my eye & is very interesting! Congrats on making finalist & good luck! #2206752

Hi Katherine,

Thanks for your comments. This is not done in Photoshop as such, except I have used Photoshop to overlay 8 different exposures where after each exposure I have rotated the camera a notch to create the twirl effect. This could also be done with a normal film camera on set to multiple exposure mode.

Cheers,
Thomas #2206845

Great job! I've tried some similar shots based on reading Freeman Patterson's Photo Impressionism, but they didn't come out this great! #2329436
