Thanks a lot for the nice comment, Dave!
As Prasad said, I am eager noe to retry that without the shift of perspective from one frame to the next.
Cheers,
Nick

Hi Prasad and thanks a lot for the nice and detailed comment, your time to look into the image, and the suggestion!
I used a tripod and small shifts (rotations to be more specific) of the camera in order to shift the scene slightly from take to take. The result is something like an echo or "continuation" of the contours that do not move.
Second, I kept the main focus on the man, and that of course brought a softening of any other contours.
The two factors are enough for making the contours for example of the building look smeared. This gets further enhanced by the fact that the second take of the fourfold exposure introduces light on the dark part of some boundary between light/shadow because of the already mentioned shifts. The third take does the same to the "mixture" of first and second, and so on, which progressively and together with the other two effects diminishes the impact of a strong contrast at the contours.
So, in order to achieve the results of your very interesting idea, I should:
1) Avoid the shifts, and
2) Underexpose each single frame more than I did, in such a way that the sum of the 4 exposures results in the exposure of a single normal expsoure.
I can imagine very well that the image would have been much more interesting, if the scene would look "solid", "rigid" and the only motion could be detected through the four different positions of the guy. I'm eager now to try it this way!
Thanks a lot for the idea again!
Nick

Thanks a lot for the unusual but very nice comment, Ian!
Now I have to dive into suggestive thinking - a jigsaw puzzle of the 1970s...
Cheers,
Nick

A neat idea, showing the progression via the different exposures, Nick! Dave.

Nice idea... Was this a hand-held shot or did you use a tripod? I do see some camera shake in the stationary objects (buildings and poles). In my opinion, it would be interesting to keep the buildings sharp, and have motion blur in all moving subjects. I wonder if that shake was deliberate.

there is something 1970s jigsaw puzzle about this colour cast. Great palette!
