Fireweed Reiteration

This clump of fireweed grows right up against a deck off my house so it tempts my camera daily but it is difficult to photograph realistically without including distracting and unnatural elements. A more impressionistic approach proved satisfyingly achievable with this image. Taking advantage of the relatively soft evening light and framing tightly, I made a 9 times multiple exposure while panning downward slightly. The rendering was completed in Photoshop using the Photokit Sharpener plug-in to apply multiple sharpening and contrast enhancing effects.
