Havana Rooftops
One of the best bird’s-eye views of the city of Havana is from the roof of the Bacardi Building. While I was shooting this scene I kept thinking about the layers upon lairs of roofs and how the different colour buildings played against each other.
I kept seeing this scene as a multiple exposure but unfortunately my Canon 7D doesn’t do in camera multiple exposures. I created the final image in Photoshop.
Let me know what you think. Â Have a wonderful weekend everyone and Happy Passover and Happy Easter!

Thanks for the feedback. Nope definitely not a mistake I actually meant to do this. Sometimes you have to think out of the box and try something different. It may appeal to some and it may not appeal to others. That’s the beauty of art.

I know, Edith, you did it intentionally. A friend of mine also does some strange experiments wit her camera. Thus I’m kind of used to some effects. As Dina wrote, maybe it works better with another subject.

Hi Edith, I’m not sure about the final image. I saw this type of effect with flowers and the result is more abstract. Here, what happens is that we still see very well the details of the buildings, and it looks like the image is blurry. Having said that, I think it’s very creative. 😉

Thanks so much Anne. I really appreciate your feedback. I was actually trying to keep some of the details so that you could still see that they were rooftops. I actually also added more saturation on some of the colours for that reason. Well it was an experiment…you never know until you try 🙂 I did another one maybe I’ll post that one too and see what you all think.

I happen to like the effect, Edith. Because of the way it’s patterned, it seems clear (to me) that it’s an artistic effect and not blurry. Love the “why” behind it!

It reminds me that each image can have multiple stores. It has a way of pulling the viewer into it. As Dina said, it’s an effect that can be enjoyed occasionally.

I agree with some of the others, it has that impressionistic look, which works to stir the imagination. On the other hand, I think you’re a victim of your own success, providing all of those clean, crisp and well-balance color images. This may be a bridge too far for some that has come to expect that from you. 🙂
Experimentation is the key to growth and something we should always be willing to do.
