Cameras are exciting bits of kit these days. Exploring them fully takes time but one of the features I discovered which I am enjoying experimenting with is the in camera facility to merge photos. This picture (of Humber Street in Hull) is a montage of three photographs, taken within a few seconds from different angles and then merged in camera.
The facility can be used in different ways. You can take a much larger number of pictures over a longer period of time from a fixed position with the camera on a tripod. This tends to show people and other moving objects like cars and buses as a part of time. Ghostly. Passing through and impermanent. Equally it can be fixed on a single point with an object moving away to show movement. Or shots can be taken of a person in different positions, again from a tripod , to signal mood or overlap.
I am still experimenting with this and have no idea what might happen with it. No doubt however it will improve from where I am at present....
