really cool!
Were they taken all at the same time or different times with different people on the steps?

I am having trouble finding a location I could make this work for me. it seems like such an easy idea....until i start trying to actually DO IT! haha Jedi-Master, you have done it again!

I wanted to try this collage effect to create a larger image, too. The shadow-shot version has a 3-dimensional effect which is a new idea to me. The whole has a sense of balance.
I like the larger scope version also. Lots going on but one can focus in on each frame. Nice!

I like the drop shadow one also. I like its simplicity compared to the other.

They were both taken this past weekend at the Capitol Building here in Olympia. Each was taken as a series.

In both series, I staggered the zoom of my image, hoping to have some altered perspective by changing scale, It turned out that this was too much given the complexity of the figures in the images. So, I had to scale everything to a similar scale.

I may try my original idea with something more static.

Some of the Occupiers were not happy by how long I took to make the photos. They were suspicious of my intent. This is a new response to me in all my years of covering protesters.
