Steps taken:

1. Take photo #1 showing front of pin
2. Re-position pin on a different flower
3. Take photo #2 showing back of pin
4. In "Retouch" menu, select "Image Overlay"
5. Select images to be processed

It came out OK, but not really what I wanted. The flowers can be seen under the pin images. I was looking for a true double exposure. Any way to do that with the D750?

Thanks,

Dennis

I've got a 750 also, so I'll be watching with great interest. It used to be so easy with my film cameras. I hope there's a way.

First off, I shoot with a Canon 5D Mark 4. I'm somewhat limited with my experience with Nikon. There is a multiple exposure menu in my Canon. I think there is a multiple exposure menu in your D750.
Follow the instructions at: slrlounge Tips&Tricks Creating Double Exposure In-Camera W/Nikon & Image Inspiration. Tap into it. Good Luck

Happy Shooting!

That is a job for Layers in Ps. Probably really easy. Just need separate images of the flowers and pins. Will need to play with blend modes.

You might see if your camera has a menu setting for Manual In-Camera HDR or Manual In-Camera Focus Stacking, and see if you can trick the camera by taking two or three separate shots of totally different subjects or framings. Or a multiple exposure menu tool. This is just a guess.

Thanks Scruples. Unfortunately, the example in slrlounge Tips & Tricks is exactly what I did and produced the same results.

D750 - go to Photo Shooting Menu, Multiple Exposure, Number of shots, Auto Gain On or Off, experiment with EV and other adjustments to get what you want. The "film" is free!

I'm sorry! I though I was being helpful. As I wrote earlier, I really don't know jack about Nikon.

Good Luck, Dennis

I understand wanting to do it in camera, but it is a lot easier to do a composite with layers in Photoshop. You have a lot more control that way over the final output.

Finding and making it happen in the menu is easy. Remember to be sure the camera absolutely does not move at all, and to put a black disk the size of the pin in the location of where the pin will be for the second exposure in the first exposure, and where the pin was in the first exposure for the second exposure.

Overlay mode is the new way Nikon provides a way to double expose any two images taken in raw.
Also, in the shooting menu, highlight Multiple Exposure, and and press the right side of the rear wheel on the back of the camera, the arrow that points to the right, then select mode, highlight multiple exposure mode and press the right arrow of the rear wheel again. Then, continue to follow the instructions.
Good luck and keep on shooting until the end.
PS. I used the overlay mode to create the following image. It is featured in my show.
My photo show will be at the Weller Gallery at the Davis Education and Visitors Center in Fellows Riverside Gardens, Youngstown Ohio. 123 McKinley Ave. Tuesday-Sunday 10-5. Closed Monday. 330-740-7116. The show will run from August 17th to October 13th. Meet the artist date is Sunday, September 8, 1-3 pm. See you there.
I took multiple images of the moon in different locations, I used the image of the moon that best suited my image of the hot air balloons.

Take two separate exposures and combined them in Photoshop. Make sure that you make a duplicate layer.

If you don't want the flower to show through the "pin", you don't actually want a double exposure at all. Double exposures blend together two images... and you typically end up with something just like what you posted.

What it seems like you want is actually a composite image..... two (or more) images combined into one final image.

That cannot be done in-camera by any camera nearly as well and controllably as it can be done in post-processing software.

First take an image of the flowers.

Next, take a separate image of the "pin". If you are trying to show both sides of it, as it appears in your posted image, you'll need to take two separate shots.

When you photograph it, be sure to place the pin on something that's a color not found in the pin itself... for example, a bright green. This will later make selecting only the pin in your image editing program a whole lot easier.

Now with a program like Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Elements or whatever similar photo editing software you might have, open all three images. The software you use needs to be able to work in layers (Adobe Lightroom can't, for example. Some old version of Elements can't either.) All the following are Photoshop-related and Windows PC terms, might be called something different in other programs or systems.

With all three images open, go to either of the pin photos.

First thing to do is to "select" the background. If you used a nicely contrasting color as I suggested, it will be pretty easy to either use the "magic wand" tool or "select color" menu option, and click anywhere on the background. Check that none of the pin itself has accidentally been selected. If that's okay, go to "select" and "inverse" it. This will cause only the pin itself to be selected. Now either use the "copy" command (accessible in several menus incl. right click pop-up) or simply press "ctrl, c". This copies just the pin itself.

Now switch to your image of the flowers. Press "ctrl v" or select "paste" command (also in several menu locations). This will place the pin as a new layer over the flowers. Since you don't want the flower to show through, don't change the transparency of the "pin" layer.

If the pin is too large, the "edit, transform" command will allow you to change it's size. Here it is possible to stretch things out of shape (depending upon which of several different transform tools is used). When the transform tool is active, drag the size smaller using one of the corners. Don't drag from the center of either side or top or bottom, because that will warp the image by only changing the size along one axis. This can be prevented in Photoshop by making sure the dialog box at the top of the screen shows the same percentage (or pixels or whatever, depending upon how you have it set) in the horizontal and vertical axis boxes. Dragging from the corner, re-size the pin as needed in relation to the flower image. (Note: best image quality of the pin would be if you photograph it closer with a bit more magnification, so that you're reducing it's size to place it on over the flowers. If you do the opposite and have to increase it's size at this stage, it's quality can suffer.)

You also can freely move the pin around to place it wherever you wish on the flower image. To do this, switch to the pointer tool and use that to drag the pin. If you need to fine tune the positioning - your mouse and the pointer tool aren't precise enough - more careful movements of the object (pin) can be done using the up/down/right/left arrows on your keyboard.

Repeat the selection, copying, pasting, sizing and positioning process with the second pin image.

Once you have everything where you want it, go to "layers" and select "flatten layers". Use "save as" and name this composite image something different that the original, flower image was called. It can be saved as any image file type you wish (most often, JPEG).

Done! You've just created a composite image.

As a final step, if you might want to do other versions of the image now or later, before you close the finished image go into the "history" dialog box in Photoshop (or whatever) and delete the "flatten layers" last action you did. The image can then be changed now to make another version or saved with the layers un-flattened, so the file can be re-opened later and things can be still be moved, re-sized or changed in other ways. You cannot save an image with unflattened layers as a JPEG (and possibly some other image file types). If using Photoshop, save the image as a PSD file. That file type allow layers to be unflattened, so that each can be changed later, if wanted. Other software programs may need to save as a different file type or may also use PSD.
