I love to layer photos of the same flower taken in just the same position, at approximately the same time of day, in the same vase, over several days, sometimes a week. Then, I layer all of the photos and use “Auto Blend” within Photoshop. I used to do the blending all myself which took bloody hours sometimes if I had multiple exposures. This “auto-blend” feature is now my “go to” application when I have multiple exposures of anything, but especially, time lapse photos. This is a red tulip aging gracefully.
I look forward to the leaves and petals drooping because that will translate into mysterious shadows and ghost flowers once I’ve compressed all the layers together.
My cousin gave me a smoothing-wrinkle potion the other day. I’m supposed to put it on my face after moisturizer but before make-up. The exact opposite of time lapse photography.
It’s supposed to keep me morphing into a younger version of myself with the proper applications. Hmmm….now, I know in my head that’s impossible, but I put the potion on anyway but I’m thinking this as I blend it into my face: Flowers are wiser at this whole aging process.
They just look as graceful as possible until they keel over.
