COPYING ANOTHER PHOTOGRAPHERS TECHNIQUE

[@flightographist]

Your final piece is stunning! Thx for the intro to the concept and Ventosa. His reconstructed works are 'narcotic'. My background in aerial photo interp and mosaic creation has me now thinking in an entirely different direction for my photographic pursuits.

[@RalphGoldsmith]

I'm glad you liked it, I hope you have fun with the technique. Thank you for watching and commenting

[@RoamingPhotography]

I think you did a cracking job there Ralph, it's a beautiful image. Interesting that do not stick with one blending mode for this throughout the process, definitely something worth trying. 👍

[@RalphGoldsmith]

Glad you liked it. I think using various blend modes helps with so many images being overlayed. Thank you for watching and commenting

Always good to get ideas Ralph, big challenge but you managed to get a great shot - lot of work on LR & PS great work and explaining - many thanks for sharing your work.

Yes, a bit more work in PS than I would normally want to do but I quite liked it. Thank you for watching and commenting Shaun

[@johncoombes6231]

Great Ralph, a lot of hard work on photoshop but the end result was very good. Always good to stretch yourself and use a different technique. 👌

[@RalphGoldsmith]

Glad you liked it John. yes, a bit more Photoshop work than I would normally consider. Thank you for watching and commenting

[@richardanstisphotography]

Wow, what a great technique to try and a great video Ralph. 👍🏻

[@RalphGoldsmith]

Glad you enjoyed it Richard. It's a fun one to try. Thank you for watching and commenting

[@thanosbistolas6903]

Seems a really interesting technique Ralph. I will try and attempt it too, there are some trees that I feel they are good candidates in our neighbourhood. Perhaps keeping the base image for the trunk and masking it to give a more intense spinning effect with some blurring of the trunk itself might be an option.

[@RalphGoldsmith]

It's definitely worth playing with. It may be that a more 'conventional' lone tree would be easier. The ficus presented some problems due to the nature of the trunk and some of the heavy branches. I hope you'll share your attempt when you get round to it. Thank you for watching and commenting

[@rtownson1]

Excellent. Love it

[@RalphGoldsmith]

Thank you for watching and commenting Bob

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

Gotta love a bit of Pep Ventosa and that tree surely was made for this technique. Great overview of the entire process and the final result was just superb 🙏 Have a great week Ralph 🙏🙏🙏

[@RalphGoldsmith]

Glad you liked it Izzy, the heavy branches added some challenges to the process but it was fun to try, Thank you for watching and commenting and have a great week yourself

[@johnturnerphotography]

[@GlennVanderbeke]

Great result Ralph! 😁

[@RalphGoldsmith]

Glad you like it. Thank you for watching and commenting

[@jimcooke5590]

Brilliant Ralph, seems a complex at first but come the end i liked the final image, great effort for having a go, so the question is will you adopt this technique is some of your upcoming work, have a great week

[@RalphGoldsmith]

Glad you enjoyed it Jim. It is a bit involved and takes quite a while to do, a bit more work in Photoshop than I normally like. I may use the technique again if a suitable subject comes up but it's not something I will do too often. Thank you for watching and commenting

[@1953Allen]

Hi Ralph, a lot of work on the computer, I liked the end result it turned out really good.

[@RalphGoldsmith]

Glad you liked it Allen. Yes, a bit more processing than I normally like to do. Thank you for watching and commenting

[@LeePelling]

Have to be honest and say I have never seen that technique , but I found myself really looking at the end result , which I really like. Lots of work in that but worth the effort mate 👍

[@RalphGoldsmith]

Glad you enjoyed it Lee. it's an interesting one to try. Thank you for watching and commenting

[@ScottEGrainger]

I've watched other videos on this style from other photographers and liked the concept of Pep's images. I've tried myself with trees, trains, and buildings but I need more work. You're right about how long it takes to edit. I enjoyed your version and I loved the outcome. What were your settings to shoot?

[@RalphGoldsmith]

Glad you liked it. I think trees are probably the easiest subject to start with. I think I included the settings in the video but a quick look back at LR it looks like it was 30 images with a 7.5mm fisheye at 1/100 second, f/8 and ISO 100. Thank you for watching and commenting

[@dwentzelpunktde684]

Großartig ❤

[@michaeljenner1795]

What an amazing tree!

[@RalphGoldsmith]

It certainly is. Thank you for watching and commenting

[@HJ-nh1wl]

FYI ….. this ‘technique’ was practiced by a lot of club photographers over 30 years ago during film days - but creativity was done in camera! A case of reinventing the wheel again! Because you are doing it digitally - doesn’t mean it’s an ‘original’ idea and credit a KZbin photographer!

[@RalphGoldsmith]

I would assume almost all techniques in digital have a basis in film photography. I don't believe I, or indeed Pep Ventosa, claimed he has invented this, He has however been very successful at producing images with this approach and the technique is widely known as the 'Pep Ventosa technique'.
