One of my specialties is multiple images of flowers - I use one for my avatar. The first three were multiple exposures in the camera on film, scanned and enhanced in Photoshop. The rest are digital captures combined on layers in Photoshop. I find with flowers, combining them in Lighten mode works well as it brings the lightest parts of each layer forward.


p.2 John, Thank you SO much for posting your creations and telling us how you created them. They are stunning and I appreciate the tips.

These were also created using the multiexposure setting on my D750. I did these during another challenge to see what kind of "look" I could get. I think the max was 3 exposures before the camera combined them. Made sure each shot was focused and for these - I just moved camera shots from left to right. I liked the detail on the lettuce and the color pop of the tomato.

These were made using layers for double exposure. If you are familiar with Vivaldi's Four Seasons for violin these will make sense. I needed these for CD covers or something.

Thanks. I was happy to see a call for something I've been doing for 20 years or so. Like you said, it's all in finding images that work together. I've spent a lot of time trying different combinations to finally find one that's really good. I also do a lot of work after combining them involving lightening or darkening sections of each layer to make things come forward or go back, since it's on Lighten mode.

I like the last one the best, because it's the least obvious it's a multiple image. When I did multiple exposures in the film days, I did something similar, shooting the same thing several times handheld, so each was a little askew. I also sometimes did double exposures of the same thing in focus and out of focus. It gave a little glow to the highlights.

Thanks, Larry for hosting a Free Challenge Weekend. If you were looking for "Yard Birds" with Sunnybuck, it was necessary to switch challenge calendar dates; "Yard Birds" will appear for week of 7/27-7/31.

In my film days a multiple or double exposure was something you didn't want to see. Now there are multiple ways to create them purposefully and artistically in camera or in post. Smart phones have a number of apps to accomplish the same thing.

This article has some excellent examples, tips and images: https://digital-photography-school.com/multiple-exposures-camera/

I'll start off with a few images taken using the multiple exposure feature in my camera. And 2 images fused in my smart phone. The challenge is finding shots that will merge well together. In future posts, I'll show some created in post (layering, really) and how I used them.

Nice start up Pat and thanks for hosting. Really like that last one almost ghostly!!

Haven't done any multiple with dslr's yet. Was easier with the old film format camera's.

I created this multiple crow exposure a few years ago. If I can remember how I did it I will make a few more tomorrow.
