Creative Photography Techniques - Bottled Finnish Landscapes

Bottled Finnish Landscapes by Christoffer Relander: interesting and surrealistic pieces of art captured on film.

This effect is achieved by using double exposure technique.
The first shot is an exposure of the glass in front of an illuminated white background. Light is set up in a way that the glass area turns out underexposed or almost perfectly black while the illuminated background area is completely overexposed or burnt out.
In order to give the glass some plasticity and three dimensional look there need to be some reflections on the glass and shadows on the base ground.

The second exposure is in nature capturing a beautiful landscape and exposing the non or underexposed area of the glass. This second step implants the landscape into the glass.

The effect is gorgeous.

I am wondering if this can be done on digital too.
Technically there should be no issue. So, let's go out and try it.

Creative Nature Photography

Nature photography can be purely documentary, or it can be a form of innovative creativity and art.

In this post I compiled some background on an example of very creative nature photography. Be it by means of composition, capture, or exposure.

The left hand image shows a researcher on a frozen lake at night. It is a master piece in image composition and exposure.

Title: Ice Study

Photographer: Henry Liu
Source: 500px

Comment by photographer: A self-portrait of me studying ice on frozen Georgian Bay, Lake Huron, about one hour after sunset.

Image details by photographer:
Nikon D800E, 13-24mm f2.8 (at 14mm, f2.8, 30s, ISO 100)
Focus stacking for full depth sharpness (6 shots at f2.8)

Both, the sky covered with starlight and the bright light from the flash light falling through the clear ice ad a third dimension and depth to the image. Scratches in the ice, producing diffuse white light from the flash light, add texture and some line and guidance for the viewer towards the person holding the flash light.

The image exhibits a very wide dynamic range from true white - the ice illuminated by the flash light -  towards true black - the mountains at the horizon.
The color spectrum is immense with strong whites, strong blacks, the greenish color of lake topography shimmering through the ice, the dark blue of the night sky, and everything in between covering lila, purple, red, ...

With all these photographic elements covered. This image is a nature photography which not only documents the sunset and upcoming starlight over frozen Lake Huron. The photographer added artistic elements and creative dimensions to the image by illuminating parts of the ice surface and the lake underneath with his flash light.
