I like the idea of taking a 'straight' Landscape image and imbuing it with something more essential, also from the landscape from which I shot the wide shot. I do this using in-camera Multiple Exposure settings....sometimes they work (more often they don't) but its the idiosyncrasy and randomness that brings back to digital photography that which went before in the days of the darkroom - sudden, unadulterated joy....with little to no premeditations.
