Caught and photographed in LED flashlight beam, the lonely traveler used the silent hours to cross our patio.

A bit of editing fun, based upon a slightly altered real story. Faces have been omitted to protect the innocent... ;)

My favorite artist enjoys what she and her camera encounter all around us.
And I'm quietly enjoying the sight :)

Saved from drowning and fishes, the lucky dragonfly dries its wings, safe on the finger of my darling wife.

Lake Ohrid sunset, unique as always. This time it was those cloud ribs, showing some interesting high atmosphere movement bathed in the last sunrays.

Behind The Lens

Location

Lake Jarun, Zagreb (Croatia)

Time

EXIF was lost in process,sorry.

Lighting

Normal (day)light, both photos in the composite.

Equipment

OLYMPUS 750SW hand-held.

Inspiration

The waterlilies on the lake surface.

Editing

I took two photos subsequently, over and under the lake surface, and merged them later in the post-processing, to create the composite image.

In my camera bag

Two cameras: to take dry-land pictures, and also those underwater, or in the adverse weather conditions. Thus, one camera must be waterproof.

Feedback

It is all straightforward and simple. Take one picture right above the surface while the lens is still dry, then dunk it under at the same spot, and take the other shot right below the surface. Open both images in the photo-editor and merge along the surface line, taking care that the seam is not apparent. Voila!
