Purple Vase

This one is two single pictures (one doubled up) put together in photoshop using different blends in the layers and using the slides for this layer and bottom layer.


This is what I learnt to do on my D300 tonight. You can do multiple exposures - as many as you like - this is only 2. Not only that you can choose 2 images from the folder in your camera and put them together.

so you can do this on your camera, like taking a film photo and rewinding the photo to take a second photo at the same "spot"

Yes, you are right Billie! But this is easier as you can tick the box for the camera to adjust the exposure for you knowing there will be two shots in one.

WOW! These are absolutely GORGEOUS, I LOVE THEM! Hope you posted them to BP, Theya re really really nice.

I wonder how I can do that on MY camera--or IF I can. SUPER>

Thank you for sharing what you are learning, I am so glad you are sharing.

I want to try this.

:-D Thanks! Wonderful!

Very cool and fun.

I just did some research and apparently that's NOT something I can do on the camera.

Well I don't think the bottom one is any great shakes. But of course it has potential to be able to use this facility. It must have I guess because Tony Sweet the instructor has put that facility in his personal menu on his camera. This is a shortcut feature to use things in the menu that you want to get at easily. He has Live View (you can guess what that is), Image Overlay, and Multiple Exposures as the top 3 in his "My Menu". I didn't bother putting Live View in mine as I couldn't understand why he'd put it there but it all becomes clear when you actually use live view as we had to practice with our tripods with the camera up high so you can't see the display on the top of the camera. I realised in that position that the simple little lever to change to live view is not so easy when it is up that high whereas you could find it easy in the "My Menu". I probably wouldn't have bothered with that feature either.

Oh and thanks - I reckon I'll put the top picture in to BP.

Shame you can't do that in your camera. He reckons the advantage over just joining two shots in photoshop is that you get all the facilities of the RAW conversion software if you do it in camera. Now I am just wondering what would happen if you used a tripod and took one exposure of say a landscape for the foreground and another for the sky and put them together! Can't wait to try it!
