Seascape triptych

[Ken Rennie]

I am never sure whether a triptych is just 3 images that aren't strong enough to stand on their own or 3 images that build on each other to produce something stronger than any of them ( Synergy)

I don't think I have ever been on a beach that is as shallow as this one appears to be. A very idyllic scene.

Other than the inclusion of 3 images in one frame I'm not sure I have any better definitions than your comment. There is one shot in your triptych I would be inclined to exclude - the last one in the sequence which is also the first of the full sized images. The jet trails are a bit overwhelming for mood the rest of the scene invokes as well as a match for the skies in the other shots. The last three images would be a better fit for the triptych.

Alan I used to replace bothersome skies but not now. I agree about the trails. I will look through the images to see if I have a right hand edge with a better sky. I may chop them up and clone out some a things to produce a more harmonious image and if I do this then I will add a better sky. Watch this space Ken

This is a great thread to think on Ken. You posed an intriguing question about Triptych’s. There might be many different motivations behind it. I had always assumed that the original image was a strong image, but I guess now that I could be wrong about that.

I think I have only ever done 1 Triptych. I think they can look cool, and there is a visual appeal to them though I don’t know why.
