We’re adventuring in the mountains today, scouting for some fall color! Join us as we explore Scout Mountain just outside of Pocatello in Eastern Idaho. We find a few pockets of fall color beginning to emerge (this was filmed in late September), but we’re also met with a few roadblocks (literally), so we head back down the mountain where I find the perfect opportunity to do a little fun experiment. Have you heard of Multiple Exposure and Intentional Camera Movement (ICM)? You probably have, but have you ever combined the two techniques into one image? That’s right, we open up the creative floodgates in this Photo Adventure. I hope you enjoy!

This is one of the first images I captured. I was drawn to the beautiful golden fall color and the broken fence beckoning a visitor to explore what lies beyond the brush.
The following photos feature Photo Veils from the Botanical and Illumination Collections. Check out the before and after photos below (before photos include foundation edits, after photos show the addition of Photo Veils).

We found that many of the areas of Scout Mountain were closed for construction, so we popped down to an overlook we passed on the way up the mountain. I saw this scene just after parking the car. I was drawn to the layers created by the grass, fence, and tree line in the distance.

What is Multiple Exposure?
Multiple Exposure is when you layer one exposure onto another. This works best when you have a high contrast scene where there are plenty of dark areas for the second exposure to expose onto. It’s a fun technique that gives your image a ghostly appearance.
What is Intentional Camera Movement?
Intentional Camera Movement is exactly what it sounds like, you intentionally move your camera while pressing the shutter button to create a blurred effect. This requires a slower shutter speed, somewhere around 1/5 and 1/10. You want just enough time to make a quick movement either up or down, or even diagonally. Whatever creates the look you want!
I had a ton of fun with this last image! I’ve been wanting to experiment with the combination of multiple exposure and ICM for quite some time and I found the perfect opportunity in these trees lining the roadway. For my first try with this, I think it turned out great! Although, next time I would love to rework the composition in order to capture less of the sky. It seems a bit distracting, but all-in-all, I love how this turned out and I can’t wait to try this again in the future!

What’s Up Next?
Next up, we’re heading back into the mountains for some more waterfall photography. This is a location I have tried a couple different times to get to, but was never able to make it happen until now. And I’m sure glad we did because this area is absolutely beautiful!
