My flight departs AMS for DTW (Detroit) at 8:15am and daughter Jennifer is picking me up at about 3:30pm at MCO.  It will be good to get home.  We enjoyed yet another great day at Keukenhof.

Having arrived a few minutes early I was again inspired by friend and multiple IPT veteran Mike Gotthelf.   He was doing in-camera Multiple Exposure zoom blurs.   As I only had my 100mm macro with me I decided on a 7-frame in-camera Multiple Exposure.   I wanted to get a blog post done before bed as I need to be up at 4:30am and on my way to Schipol Airport by 5:30.   I was thrilled when I saw this image, the very last image that I created on what turned out to be a great trip with great folks and perfect weather.    <\/p>\n<p>I simply created 7 images with the tripod head locked up while barely moving the lens a fraction of an inch between each frame.  <\/p>\n<p>Which classical painter worked in this style?<\/p>\n<p>Gotta pack and hit the sack.  <\/p>\n<h3>Like it or hate it?<\/h3>\n<p>Let us know and be sure to let us know why. <\/p>\n<h3>5D Mark III User&#8217;s Guide<\/h3>\n<p>You can learn the fine points of in-camera Multiple Exposures and creating in-camera HDRs plus everything that I know about this great camera in my 5D Mark III User&#8217;s Guide <a href=\"https:\/\/store.birdsasart.com\/shop\/item.aspx?itemid=347\">here<\/a>.   <\/p>\n<h3>Get a Free Copy of Our 5D Mark III User&#8217;s Guide<\/h3>\n<p>Purchase a Canon EOS-5D Mark III using one of our product-specific B&#038;H affiliate links above or by clicking on the logo link below and shoot me your B&#038;H receipt via <a href=\"mailto:samandmayasgrandpa@att.net\">e-mail<\/a><\/center>.
