Ahh, sorry, I always forget to post details. It is an in-camera double exposure, where the first picture is made still at a shallow DOF, and the second one a much larger DOF but much less time, this time moving the camera up down. The D200 combines them in camera. For the second, moving image, I stay in the same place as the first image, change the settings (F/stop and shutter speed), then move the camera up down (or whatever direction you choose) until I got a rythm going, then keep moving and try to press the shutter when I'm in a good straight downward movement.

Shot RAW, processed in PSCS3, pretty normal stuff (levels and colour adjustment, slight crop, resize/sharpen). I hope it is alright to post a not so processed image in photo art.

David, at least I think this is one of the images I made that way. It was made in October of this past year, and I often forget what I was doing, especially when I'm out trying bunches of stuff. :)

another incredible image, Ursula. The contrast of sharp and soft as well as the vertical dark and light lines make for a wonderful painterly fine art image! :toast:

I normally don't like this type of shot but yours is special. The in-focus combined with the blurred background is sweet.
