Multiple Exposure #1

Gallery: FloraPosted November 2, 2013610 views5 comments

I just started taking a few multiple exposure images on my Canon 5D3. For those who don't know this camera, it allows you to take 2 to 9 different photos and then automatically combines the images in-camera. (This image is a combination of 3 photos.) I have seen a few of these multiple exposure flora images that have really wowed me, so I thought I would give it a try. BUT, I don't know what I'm doing! I thought I would post this amateur image in order to: 1) see if there is anything appealing about this image to you or if you think this type of image has any potential, and 2) if you have any knowledge/experience in making in-camera multiple exposure images, I would love to hear any advice you can give me. Thanks!

Carol: Who cares if you don't know what you're doing if you get results like this!

I have not done any multiple exposure images since film and my digital cameras have never had the capability so I'm envious. I know Nathan Buck has done some ME work in the past so I hope he comments. 2 thumbs up. >=))>

Interesting and engaging. I know nothing about multiple exposure but it looks like you will be having lots of fun with that feature.

You created a very cool effect. I think your multiple exposure gave this a very interesting illusion of motion, as if the flower was spinning.

I think you did very well by the flower, not so well by the icky background. Of course I have PI disease about this sort of thing (Profundis Ignoramus)

I should think you could selectively separate the flower and apply it to a different background for an interesting combo.
