I had half a mind to try the mutiple exposure feature of the D200. I've never used it. Now I'm gonna. The old fashioned way and me just did not work out to well as you can see. But the result was closed to how I envisioned it so I it is a win though the image will probably fail. Whew I sure am stinkin' lately.
Shot with camera on tripod and using the cable remote release. The shutter was locked on bulb. I made the original exposure after setting up the camera on manual focus. Started and locked the shutter and took the lense cap off as briefly as possible. Over exposure killed a lot of the images. After quickly replacing the lense cap, I repositioned the tulips and vase to the other side of the frame turning them around so the top most flowers were opposite each other. Briefly took the lens cap off again and replaced it and unlocked the shutter. Lot of trial and error and this was the best of the lot. Enjoy.
