The Ephemeral 1st

A fantastic image and a idea/concept so well worked into reality. Consider entering it into one of the photography competitions especially the IGPOTY.

I really like this shot. I think the foreground folks are a little too transparent. Perhaps a quick flash where their shadow would stop the light from reaching the subject

The <File> <Scripts> <Statistics> using the Median setting in the Stack Mode box will do a pretty good job of automating that. If people have been moving it does a pretty good job eliminating them. It's not always 100% if the people haven't moved or are replaced by others in the same place. That being said, it's a lot faster than doing everything by hand.

Just make sure that the images have all been converted from raw data identically.

Alan, Thanks appreciated

Cheers Tony,

Cheers Brian, appreciated

thanks all, interesting conversations.

You know, if the exhibitors would permit it taking the prize winning arrangement after the show would make a fantastic time lapse video. Lead off with it at the show, being judged and displayed, show the decay and then being fed as compost to a new plant.
