In-camera tricks
Mar 31, 2024 15:02:18 #
My flickr group's theme this week is "Know your camera." Shoot in jpg, using a feature you rarely - if ever - use, and no post-processing allowed. Eeek! I haven't shot in jpg in more than 7 years 
One of the features I tried was Multiple Exposure. The coolest info I discovered (which only does two shots, so "double" exposure would be more accurate), is that if you shoot in raw, you can select any image from your card to be pic #1 when you're ready to add the second photo.
The only one posted for the flickr group is #3, shot in jpg, with no pp. #1 and #2 were shot in raw and edited.
Have you ever used this feature on your own camera? What are your thoughts about these?

I did some of that several years ago. Never found any use for it...though is somewhat a neat trick.
I'll stick with 2 images on 2 layers in Photoshop.

Sam, did you happen to see this thread when I first posted an edited version of #3? I decided I liked the unedited better Well, I am sorry to report that I like #3 the best! No offense intended!
Your time is much appreciated!

So, you're just trying to make crazier than I already am?
I'm guessing - and it is only a blind buffleheaded guess - that I saw only the edited version. Whatever, I still like the version I see now.Mar 31, 2024 20:03:31 #
I think in camera double exposure is either hit or miss. But fun seeing what one comes up with. No.2 works for me.

I replaced that pic and rewrote the opening 30 or 40 minutes before you commented. Crazy is as crazy does

Thanks for your time, Frank. I can see the overlay on the LCD in order to compose the second pic, but in bright light it's a little difficult + can't really tell how the contrasts are working.I think in camera double exposure is either hit or miss.

Unlikely this feature will be on my to-do list very often, but good to know it's there (which I didn't know prior to Saturday morning
)Apr 1, 2024 08:10:38 #
I have never done this before and probably won't, but it is an interesting concept. Of your offerings here, the second is my favorite.

The only time I set up a Multi-Exposure was to try an exposure bracket in the timer release mode so only have to push the shutter once for all the shots. I seen where they have taken 10 photos of a stream/creek or falls give that longer shutter smooth water effect or a 2 photo showing a scenic background with a person in itat about 1/2 opacity in it.

Linda!
I love the first image!
I remember doing double exposures back in the day with film for a fun thing to do! I just shot either 20 or 36 of the same scene at 1/2 the exposure and then ran the film through a second time. Depending on how uncluttered the scene was, one could do a third run-through, having reduced the initial 2 exposures accordingly. One also had to be careful to not completely wind the film back into the cassette and also to line up the tongue and advance the film the several frames to get to the first exposure.
Using bulk loaded film and doing your own processing greatly lessen the costs!
Be well! Ed

I did this a bit when shooting film. I really liked what I got, as it was totally planned and I took the time to do it correctly. I've never done it with digital cameras. Of your images, I much prefer the first one. It's beautiful and very dream-like.
