Ghost city

[limr33 3]

My first ever intentional double exposure. What do we think?

 

[Rick58]

Double or triple exposure?

 

[limr33 3]

Just a double. It was the last frame on the roll.

The bottom buildings are obvious. Then there's the "ghost like" tall building, but what got me was the other object that looks like it could be a church roof but lying down. Very confusing

 

[tirediron]

Very "Metropolis"! Nicely done.

Not bad, I quite like it. I would have liked it more if the perspective was more similar between the exposures but still quite cool

The building that looks like a church is actually the top of a pre-war apartment building. The bottom half came out a bit more jumbled than I thought it would, but then again, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. I do quite like the overlap and confusion, actually, because it reminds me of how the city is - just a big jumble of structures on top of/next to/under each other. And at the same time, there's so many ghosts of places that aren't there anymore. I didn't intend the shot to be like that, but when I saw how it came out, that's the first thing I thought of.

Thanks!

I would have liked that too, or at least have the top a little bit higher. The first shot was of the Chrysler Building from street level and you can't see the top at all. The second picture was taken from the 20th floor of a building that has a view of the top of the Chrysler. Maybe I can try something similar with the second shot instead being a block or two away where I can see the top and the size and perspective will match a bit more.

Still, I am really pleased with it for a first effort

 

[wyogirl]

Very cool. I like it a lot.

This reminds me of those 9/11 twin towers shots. I think I might enjoy a juxtaposition moreso here. Maybe old-timey buildings and then the modern metropolis.

 

[manicmike]

I like it.

 

[oldhippy]

Kinda like, What could have been. Just me. Ed

 

[annamaria]

I like it. It almost has a twilight zone feel to it.

 

[limr33 3]

Thanks everyone!

That's a good idea. I'll have to try that next time I'm down in the city.

The title "Once there were giants..." suggests itself to me. I find the juxtaposition quite evocative.

Great name!
