Voila! Or is that Viola!?:D

Combination printing is the technique of using two or more photographic images in conjunction with one another to create a single image.

Combination printing was popular in the mid-19th century due to the limitations of the negative’s light sensitivity and camera technology. For example, the long exposures required at the time to create an image would properly expose the main subject, such as a building, but would completely overexpose the sky. The sky would then lack detail, usually appearing as solid white. Hippolyte Bayard was the first to suggest combining two separate negatives, one of the subject matter and a properly exposed negative of clouds, to create a balanced photograph.

The technique was also used to create new, original compositions. Photographers such as William Lake Price and Oscar Rejlander are famous for using combination printing. Rejlander’s Two Ways of Life is one of the most distinguished examples of the technique, combining 32 negatives to create the final image.

Controversy broke out in the photographic community about the use of combination printing in the mid-19th century. Photographs originally had been regarded as truth and that the camera never lied. However, with the ability to manipulate the final product, it shattered the notion that photographs depicted “truth.”

The technique paved the way for yet another artistic process, photomontage.

Yes, the mid-1800s!

i am the one in the guantanamo bay coveralls

I do a lot of Beech research and writing for our newsletters and Beech Restorations special publications – I just though it was great and taken in the context it was meant

i do understand the dangers of such manipulations though

destroying the value of photographs as historical documents…

Started, as I remember, in the early 1980s, when the National Geographic Society, of all organizations, altered a National Geographic Magazine cover to move the Pyramids at Giza closer together so they all fit on the cover.

Huge outcry at the time–it was pre-PhotoShop but not pre-retouching–and the argument that you make was vociferously voiced.

Sadly I fear that this sort of thing is destroying the value of photographs as historical documents, as how will people of the future be able to trust any of them when this is possible.

anyone in the future would work it out, save the image then blow up. you can see the join, like Ernie Wise wig !

It’s always been possible. It’s just that until recently it’s been far too much effort for someone to do as a bit of fun. :diablo:

Isnt that the very rare Beech 36 ???? 😀

Must have been a bit thirsty

There is a mod out there where a Twin Beech is fitted with a nosewheel and single trail. It makes it virtually unrecognizable.

That is the pacific trade wind mod

Nothing like the good old tail dragger

It’s all gettting too clever… not even the same details on the cowlings! Far too convincing!

THe front lower cowlings have the same stains. It is very good though

Sorry, can’t help with 3-views but there are 2 Beech 18s on floats for sale on Controller with pictures, which you might find useful.
