[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is my first contribution to the hunt of this month. This is a multi exposure of a total of 9 photos. All taken from the bridge crossing the A1 expressway.

All photos were taken within a time frame of aprox. 15 minutes. It is obvious that I used a tripod for all these photos. All photos were taken using a full ND 4 grad filter. I used two different aperture settings (f/13 and f/20) so that you have a mixture of blurry and sharper cars.

In CS2 I copied 8 photos on top of the first and used masks to hide certain parts. Such as sky, trees, grass, road but also some unwanted cars. Opacity was set to 50% so that the photos would blend to one. I've also adjusted levels and saturation. USM, resize and frame are obvious.

I REALLY like this Niek! Great way to show motion, while everything else is sharp and in focus! Nice colors and I like the Y in the middle of the pic! Nice!

Niek,
9 photos? YIKES! That may be a record for a photo that isn't a panoramic, around these parts anyway.
I like the composition, the V-shape divider of the expressway and the cloud formation(s).
Pretty neat idea, I bet a lot of drivers thought you were shooting radar! Real cool!
Scott

Perfecta exposición.
Buenos detalles y una iluminacion fantástica.
Saludos, JL.

Hi Niek,
this was a great idea usung those moving objects as the multi exposure challenge.
The effect looks great, motionblur galore without loosing any of the superp sharpness of the still objects.
Very well done.

i like the sense of movement here niek :)
composition and framing looks great, the lines filling up the frame makes a good graphical presentation
well done

Heel mooi met veel snelheid en diepte

Hi Niek,
A funny effect it has. One wouldn't expect it to be 8 photo's ... could have been 1 photo with a long shutter .... with spooky cars in it.
greetings,
Joop!

Hoi Niek,
Had deze prima multi exposure opname bijna overgeslagen...bijna dus. Met je informative note echt een uitdaging om dit ook te proberen. Heb een pracht viaduct "om de hoek". Heb het er zaterdag wel met je over hoe je dat nu precies hebt gedaan. In iedergeval een geweldige plaat!

Nice work Niek. I like the motion blur. The perspective is great as well. Nice POV and composition. The PP work is excellent. I like the idea of having different levels of blurring

Hi Niek,

Excellent work very well composed. TFS

Fara

Hi Niek,

You have done amazing work here and the idea (as described in the note) was excellent. At first glance it looks like taken with single shot, but the opacity and cars contained within the truck reveal the enormous work you have done to get these results. I like also the composition. The photo looks like it was prepared for a commercial ad. In fg, close to right frame relaxed, contemplative girl's face and at the bottom the writing... "Don't hurry. Slow down..." *s* tfs

Hi!
