Although I consider myself a landscape photographer, I sometimes like to dabble in Cityscapes and in Digital art.

I've been wanting to capture and create whats called a Time-Splice for a while now. Basically the idea is that in one single image you can show multipled points in time of the same location. A popular - and personally my favorite - way to do this is to show the changing of light from daytime through night.
The easiest way to do this is to just setup a tripod, put your camera on an intervalometer and let it fire away for the night.

Because I'm a photographer though, having just "an image" is not enough. So I first start by combining multiple frames into each of their individual pieces; Golden Hour, Sunset, and Dusk. For each shot I belnded city lights (to make the city be full with light), I blended some birds from select shots, average out the lights capture by the passing trains to create streaks on the tracks, and also applied my usual landscape techniques.

Together, these make each frame stand out on its own, as a completed image. Which is important to me. From there, I merge them into a single image.

I want to be clear too, as I believe in honesty in artwork. All components, pieces, colors, etc were all captured that night by me, and are real. I don't take birds, or planes and paste them in my images, or create things that were not there, and if I do, I specify that I have. I like to keep what was truly there, and only accentuate it to the way that I experienced it

For this merge, I tried a few different blends. I tried using a gradient blend from left to right, then from right to left. I tried using 10 frames, or only 2... but eventually I setlled on these three below, and in the order they are in. I hope you like the final results!

Below I've included the combined image, along with all three separate frames used.
