I was on the way home after a long day of continuous shooting downtown, taking photos for my monthly photo challenge with a new camera that I had to learn, when I came across Nina and her friend. They were filming for an art project they had at Strykejernet (an art school in Oslo).
Unfortunately I didn’t catch the name of the girl who was filming, but the name of the model was Nina. They didn’t mind me taking some shots, so I hung around and took some photos while they were filming. I came home with a bunch of photos that day (I’ve deleted a lot but I still have 408 photos shot on that same day).
An avant-garde, sci-fi scene.
When I was looking through the shots with Nina, I decided to merge these two photos into one. I’m pleased with the final result and I think it has some sci-fi, avant-garde feeling to it.
This is my entry for the weekly photo challenge this week: https://dailypost.wordpress.com/dp_photo_challenge/on-the-way/
Enjoy this song by King Missile: “Sensitive Artist”.
“Sensitive Artist” by John S Hall (King Missile)
From the album King Missile (Dog Fly Religion)* – Fluting On The HumpI am a sensitive artist.
Nobody understands me because I am so deep.
In my work I make allusions to books that nobody else has read,
Music that nobody else has heard,
And art that nobody else has seen.
I can’t help it
Because I am so much more intelligent
And well-rounded
Than everyone who surrounds me.I stopped watching tv when I was six months old
Because it was so boring and stupid
And started reading books
And going to recitals
And art galleries.
I don’t go to recitals anymore
Because my hearing is too sensitive
And I don’t go to art galleries anymore
Because there are people there
And I can’t deal with people
Because they don’t understand me.I stay at home
Reading books that are beneath me,
And working on my work,
Which no one understandsI am sensitive…
I am a sensitive artist…

If you hadn’t mentioned it was a merged photo, I would have assumed 2 models. Well done.
That’s good to hear – it means that I did a good job editing. Thanks Joanne.
Yes you did 🙂
Interesting. I remember when orange (or green or blue) hair was seriously alien. These days, I see grandmothers walking around Walmart looking like they just dropped down from the mother ship 🙂
Hehe, hilarious comment Marilyn 😀
Great composite – nice uncanniness to it. Reminds me of 70s budget SF.
70’s budget SF was the same direction that my mind wandered too.
Such a cool shot Cardinal!
Thanks Patti. Definitely a cool thing to stumble upon on your way home I think.
great merge..I assumed it was 2 models in 1 shot
Thanks CoolQ.
Nice merge Cardinal! It does have a sci-fi feel…kinda campy. 🙂
It’s not often that I get the chance to do sci-fi shoots.
I’ll bet!
Master Guzman – hits heavy.
Woohoo! 😀
Would never have guessed that was a merged photo- love it
Thank you Vanilla.
Very cool shoot CG, love the merging. A friend did that recently and I thought it was a brilliant idea! It works really well for this shot. Super cool.
Thanks Desley. Judging from all the positive comments I’ve received on this post, I must have struck a chord here.
Yep I think so 🙂
That turned out really well.
Thanks. N.E. The result of a casual encounter between 3 sensitive artists (the model, the woman that arranged the whole scene and myself).

Nice one, but she looks like criminal now. 😉
A criminal artist 🙂
Great shot, I assumed it was just one photo too. Think I’ll get me some orange hair 🙂
A good ice breaker at formal parties.
It is a very good merge, Cardinal. I too thought it was of two models.
For me, the sci-fi connection is how much she resembles Daryl Hannah portraying Pris Stratton in the film Blade Runner.
Thank you Allan. I know that I saw that movie, but it’s so many years ago that I can’t remember any of it.
Great photo
congratulations
Thanks for the visit & comment Sylvain.
Morrn! 😉
Had I not read your post, I would have just assumed they were two! Terrific job on that one, CG!
Thanks. A lot of people have mentioned the same, so I must have done something right here. 🙂
I must say I like you blog. And your pictures.
Hjertelig takk flinke Kjeksen!
Great image – and very funny to crop in this way 😉
Thanks Truels. I would normally have left some more space on the left side, but because it’s two merged photos I had to place her into an already tight crop.
nice! at first i also thought it was two models 🙂

Great merge! ps What kind of camera are you using now?
Thank you. I’m using Olympus E-M5II and a Panasonic Lumix DMC GM5.
Nice! Currently reading reviews and going for the Panasonic Lumix GH4–very portable and will come in handy for my trip to Europe this August.
Where in Europe are you planning to go?
Rhine River–taking a riverboat cruise but on a smaller boat/ship. Don’t like those big cruise ships–one loses the flavor…
Riverboat cruise on a small boat sounds relaxing. I haven’t tried or read much about Lumix GH4, but I had a quick look at some specs now and it looks like a decent camera.
it’s awesome to bump into such an interesting model and ready with a camera 🙂 good work, Cardinal!! I’d never guess it’s two photos merged…
Yes, it was a fantastic surprise at the end of a long day of shooting.
This so neat, CG. What a bit of luck that you were there! Fascinating image. 🙂
Superb! I bet that shoot was a lot of fun 🙂
