Composites, or, Reconstructing the visible

ten views of monument valley
I made this image the other day. While I've been to this very spot, I never took a picture of it. This is a composite of ten images shot by other members over at Flickr. The interesting thing to me is how similar all of the images that form the composite are to each other: they were all shot within feet, if not inches, of each other; the only real difference lies in the (subtle) shift in focal lengths used.

The unvaribility in the images is perfect for this sort of re-construction, in that it allows the subtle differences in the equipment and the photographer's choice in framing and focal length to show through the archetypical choice of subject matter.

(legal note: all of the images are licensed for uses just like this one under a Creative Commons license...which, by the way, means you need to credit all of the artists whose work you''re using in the piece. You can see that on the image's Flickr page. It also means you need to abide by the same rules of use when you use or display it. so please play nice with this image!)
