New month...new theme... and as usual you guys are amazing. This month we chose a theme we've never done here at P52 Clicks. Diptych: two images combined into a single frame or presented together. Definition supplied by Wikipedia ;) This technique really brings a fun and artistic way of telling or enhancing a story. From showing the same scene from different perspectives, using complimentary colors and so many unique details. The work you have all created with this theme has been truly inspiring!
So inspiring that I might have gotten a little overzealous in my featuring...but there were just too many great images to pick from! Congratulations to all our featured artists.
Gear: Nikon Z6ii with Nikon Z 35mm / Lensbaby Sol 45
Settings: (1) 1/200, f/7.1, ISO 800. (2) 1/160, f/3.5, ISO 400
Shot: I love incorporating rainbows into my photographs and had the idea to fill these bud vases with a rainbow of flowers. The vases spell “Mummy” so I knew I wanted a photograph of my son interacting with them. I chose this TV alcove to give a neutral setting to show-off the flowers. For the second photograph I aimed for an explosion of colours to contrast the ordered vases in the first image. I chose my Sol 45 to enhance the effect and arranged the flowers on a white sheet for consistency of backdrop.
Post Processing: In Lightroom I enhanced the light with radial and gradient filters and tidied up the perspective and crop, as well as tweaking the basic sliders. In Photoshop I removed a tv cable; adjusted the flower colours to achieve the tones I wanted (starting from a preset) and did a head-swap for crisper texture on my son’s hair. I then edited the lensbaby image to match.
Gear: Canon 6D mark 11, sigma art 35mm
Settings: Chickens - ISO 1250, f/4.5, 1/200 Egg - ISO 100, f/2.2, 1/2000
The Shot: There were some chickens where at our holiday house. They provided lots of entertainment and I wanted to capture them roaming free and moving fast. I liked the image and wanted to think of a way to use it in a dyptych so decided to shoot an egg too.
Post Processing: Used forest and field presets to try and bring down the greens. I took the images at different times in different light conditions so it was a challenge to try to get the colours to match. I then played with crops in canva to find best way to present the images together Used forest and field presets to try and bring down the greens.

Gear: Canon 5D MkII, Canon 70-200mm f2.8 (top) and Canon 85mm f1.8 (bottom)
Settings: Top: ss 1/2500, f2.8, ISO 100 Bottom: ss 1/200, f22, ISO 400
The Shot: The pictures were taken approximately one week apart. I liked how they showed the evolution of dandelions when combined into a diptych
Post Processing: Both pictures were edited with Exhale preset from the Elements CM collection and local adjustments
Gear: Canon eos 80d objectif 18-200
Settings: Left f4 1/125 22mm 200 iso Right f4,5 1/125 52mm 200 iso
The Shot: We found a "lucane cerf-volant" in the garden and started an observation of the insect and a shooting session
Post Processing: I cropped the initial image of the bug, made some corrections with snapseed and used finally layout.
I hope you like little beasts!
Gear: Canon EOS R6, First Image: 135mm, Second Image: 50mm
Settings: First Image: 1/160 sec. f/5.6, ISO 1600, Second Image: 1/250 sec., f/5, ISO 125
The Shot: First Image: Water droplets on a purple piece of cellophane with a purple piece of paper under the cellophane. Second Image: Walking through a pasture with my son. He was picking wildflowers on his way. It was rainy and muddy, so I paired this image with the water droplets...along with the color drawing the images together.
Post Processing: I edited both of these images in Lightroom. I started with a Wandering Collective preset, and then made tweaks to exposure, contrast, and clarity. I slightly adjusted the green in the grass to remove some of the saturation, and also adjusted the purples to make them more vibrant. I created the diptych in LR.
Gear: Canon 6D mark II, 28-70mm lens
Settings: ISO 600, F3.5, SS1/250
The Shot: Shot against a wall, camera propped up on table, black background is a sheet attached to the wall. I am lying on the floor with arms/legs going up wall, shot using phone trigger.
Post Processing: Edited in light room and photoshop, my jeans are light blue and shoes red so hue and contrast changed to enable darker look. Wall extended in PS and rest of wall/room cropped or cloned out
Gear: Nikon D5500 with Tamron 17-50mm f2.8
Settings: Top image: 1/500 f5 50mm ISO 100 Bottom image: 1/800 f2.8 50mm ISO 100
The Shot: Both shot in a recent visit to Botallack in West Cornwall. Top image, I got down low to capture the flowers in the foreground. Bottom image I got close to the flowers to achieve the very shallow depth of field.
Post Processing: Both photos had a light edit in LR mobile. Contrast was deepened a little, a little clarity added. Lens corrections applied.
Gear: Sony alpha 7iii, Sony FE 35mm 1.8 and Tokina Kenko macro extension rings
Settings: left: ISO 125 1/100s f/2.5 and right: ISO 500 1/40s f/9
The Shot: I took the left one with my daughter on a weekends trip while her dad was playing tennis. She always grabs my ice, too . Then, I thought it would be fun for this challenge to capture the ice crystals from the ice cream with my macro rings (also to practice myself on macro photography).
Post Processing: I increased the exposure for both pics and downgraded the lights. Then I brought the whites up and downgraded the Blacks to increase the contrast. I also put the mid-tones up. On the left image I adjusted the Greens and on the right one I tweaked on the orange color to match the colors from the ice cream on the left side.
Gear: Canon 6D Mii + Canon 35mm 1.4
Settings: Pulled back image: ISO 100, 1/200, f1.4, close up shot ISO 100, 1/400, f1.4
The Shot: I loved how the light was coming in through the curtains and making a pattern across the chair so I had my daughter sit down and asked her to look out of the window. For the close up shot, I waited until the next morning until the exact same time to get a good shot of how the light comes in through the curtains when they're closed. I left my aperture wide open for the close up so that some of the curves of light would be a bit more dreamy like, and some would be sharp.
Post Processing: Editing was very basic - in lightroom I warmed them up a tad, upped contrast, shadows and whites, and brought down my highlights and blacks. I always increase clarity and vibrance +5 (most of the time) and do a slight S on the tone curve.
Gear: Nikon z6ii, 35mm 1.8
Settings: Left: ISO 500, 1/80, f4.0 /// Right: ISO 640, 1/320, f1.8
The Shot: I took these images two days apart as part of my 365. The cookies were made by my coworker, and the dentist tools was at my recent cleaning appointment. I realized the colors worked perfectly when I uploaded to LR!
Post Processing: Edited in LR with SMAL01 as a base. Removed matte, grain, and then adjusted the colors a little in each image to match a little closer.
Gear: Nikon D750, Sigma 35 1.4
Settings: ISO 100, F/1.4, 1/1600 (left) ISO 320, F/2.5, 1/800 (right)
The Shot: I shot the first when I was out exploring with the kids. I quickly slipped on a macro filter to get some of the tiny details before my 18 month old decided to stomp on them. A few weeks later I found some wild looking mushrooms at the market and got some shots before throwing them in a pan with butter, garlic, and thyme.
Post Processing: Edited in LR using base preset then adjusting the black slider and really increasing the texture and clarity. Used a graduated filter on the first for light.
