Guest carolina Posted July 11, 2006 Share #1 Posted July 11, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) hopefully you also look in this section. What follows will be a series of posts, first on montages then on multiples (when I get a chance). I came to learn montages from layering slides together in one slide mount. I still visualize them best on a light table(ancient technollogy). What follows are digital interpretations of the technique. Montages are classified into four basic categories -flip,surreal,textures and square montages. The following images repressent flip montages. The 1st one is the base image that is flipped either vertically or horizontaly or both and layered together.Multiply and overlay are the blending modes that most resemble the layered slides.

Guest carolina Posted July 11, 2006 Share #2 Posted July 11, 2006 these cannot be done with slides - they are digital interpretations of the techique. With these I layer one image flipped 4 ways on top of each other and vary the blending mode- with this the possibilities are endless. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrewer Posted July 11, 2006 Share #3 Posted July 11, 2006 Yes, I do!!! Thank you so very, very much M.C. I can't tell you how inspiring these beautiful pieces of art are to me.

Guest carolina Posted July 11, 2006 Share #4 Posted July 11, 2006 the last 2 images above and this one are square montage - when I layer slides at 90* to each other . These appear to be my fascination as no one else gets a kick out of them like I do. People even other photographers look at me like I am crazywhen I do montages this way.
