Lens Artists Challenge #338 – Pick a Word

John‘s challenge this week is called “Pick a Word.” You must choose a word that fits your topic and select three or four appropriate photos to share. Please visit his interesting site for more inspiration!

I have chosen ”Double-Exposures” But if John doesn’t accept it (two words…) I will go for ”Double”.

During the pandemic years, I developed a love for double exposures. And swirls. But today I will pick only double exposures. I guess it became interesting because we could not travel very far and had to be very careful where and how we went. Doubles could easily be done at home or in the garden, with interesting results.

I tried many combinations, and these are some of those I found worked best. Flowers of course,

and flowers and text together.

Why not a library… we can never get enough of books!

Buildings make excellent photos – like these wooden houses in different colours.

Finally Stockholm railway station and City Hall – where the outcome is an old favourite of mine. In fact I think I want to try some new subjects for double exposures again!

So, John says the word you pick could be for example from photographic techniques like ”Backlit, Landscape, Portrait, Minimalist” or subject descriptions like “Mountain, River, Architecture, Wildlife.

We are looking forward to seeing what word you pick to share in your challenge response! Be sure to tag your post with “Lens-Artists” and add a link to John’s original post.

Last week, Sofia challenged us to be BOLD, and we really were! Extraordinary answers to that one. Next week it’s Anne’s turn. To be sure you get a notice of her challenge when it goes live, follow her site here. If you’d like to join the challenge each week, but aren’t sure how to get started, check here.

Hope to see you soon – and until then, stay safe and be kind.

Thursday Thoughts – Seen in Seattle

I had some fun double exposing in Seattle too. With Chihuly, colours cannot go wrong!

I loved the long walk with chandeliers leading out to

the pavillion, where preparations for a big party had just started.

But, the floor was mine for a short minute. I was truly grateful.

Nothing to photograph outdoors…

In the few hours of light…

and some bought flowers.

Thursday Thoughts – Capital Doubles

While in Stockholm for a couple of hours between trains, I had to make the most of it…merging some of the famous buildings together in one image .

Fotografiska is a great place to be – this time exhibiting my favorite Erik Johansson again! As you are not allowed to take any photos, or at least not sending them via internet…

I decided to have some fun outside while walking. How about two amusements parks instead of one? I guess Gröna Lund fans wouldn’t mind!

In ”Chaos” I used one of my best attempts from Stockholm railway station – here is another one. A multitasking transport system?

Anyway I had great fun…but I can assure you I went by a single, ordinary train home to Skåne again.
