Harris Tree
Nikon D3
Nikon 28mm f/2.8 E
F4, 1/5 second
Orem, UT

This is one of those shots that probably won't be interesting to anyone but me. I created this shot using the Harris shutter technique, but instead of taking 3 normal shots and combining them in photoshop, I used the multiple exposure function on the camera. I took 3 shots, one with a red filter, one with a blue filter and one with a green filter. This is the result with no post processing.
