Jim: The award was well-deserved. Thanks for sharing that image; it is fascinating. Is there some way for the rest of us who don't have your particular brand of camera + associated software to mimic the same technique?
You can mimic this with any camera, but it would be tedious. All you have to do is to take a long series of shots, load them into Photoshop as layers, and blend them using "lighten." My Olympus Live Composite images typically use thousands of frames, but you could reduce the number needed by using a longer base exposure.
I expect this sort of in-camera computed photography to become more common. Olympus has been a leader with its hi-resolution, focus stacking and live composite modes, but there's no reason others can't follow suit.
