Click on the link above to see the definition of a Polyptych. I can easily call the first image a tetraptych.(4) These images were cast offs from a shoot with this young man and his older brother. I was browsing through Light Room and these 4 shoots jumped out and smacked me in the forehead. Why I didn't connect to them to begin with boggles my mind. Shot in succession, his subtle facial differences are what, I believe, make this tetraptych interesting. Also, it reteaches me a lesson. Never throw away any image. Even, if you cannot see how the image can be fixed or used now, you never know when technology, or an open mind, in the future will be able to allow you to correct a given image.
Second is a collection of images, merged from eight different shots, an octaptych. Taken back around 2003, in my D100 days, the noise was a real problem. Especially in the black clothing. I went ahead and printed a 17" by 60" on my Epson 2100 printer. We framed it nicely and it now hangs in my in-laws house. Everyone loves it, however, the noise makes me cringe every time I see it.
In the third image, the second image has been processed through current software. The image is better. With time i could go back and rebuild this tetraptych, because I have all the original images. There is still some noise so that may be required.
Thank You, Dave Sova
