Mastering multiple exposures in camera - it's not as easy as it looks!!!

Ever wanted to create a picture like the often seen multi-armed person or overlay two images. If so then multiple exposures in camera might be the answer. But, it's not as easy as it looks and you really need to understand the various in camera settings and what they do for you.

Any one managed to have more success than me with multiple exposures? 😉

[@wellingtoncrescent2480]

I'm practicing in advance of the total solar eclipse, due next week in North America. I'm still not sure how to best expose the foreground image, which I will superimpose on a sequence capturing the interval from first contact to totality, clouds permitting😀. To make sure I get something usable, I think I will combine the images in post-processing, but I'm open to suggestions from more experienced photographers. I'm using a Canon R7, which has built-in support for multiple exposures, along with .the RF 100-500 mm, which does a good job on the solar disk when used with an ND 1000000 filter to attenuate light intensity by a factor of 20.

Best multiple exposure video I’ve found yet

[@christianpetersen1782]

Many thanks for this. Am about to out today to try multiple exposure on flower blooms for the very first time so this is a really useful. Thanks for explaining so clearly.

Glad it was useful and hope it helped!

[@argeekay2]

This was the best explanation of Multiple Exposure settings that I came across online. Thank you !

[@margaby2001]

I appreciate how well you explain the settings as well as showing it in action 😊

[@matrishva]

This is so wonderful video. Thank you

[@AF8Images]

Glad you enjoyed it! and hope it helps👍

[@aboucher0319]

Thank you! This concept isn't generally well explained, so I really appreciate how you frame the Add, Average, Lighten, Darken concepts on a pixel level. Actually makes controlling these shots approachable.

[@bangtwister]

That was a very good explanation of the Additive, Average, Bright and Dark mode. Thank you.

[@mrjubes1406]

Great clarity here. Thanks for the tips.

You're an excellent teacher. I always learn what I need.

[@ghydeon]

Such a good video. Good job!

[@sabineschnabel4023]

Thanks a lot for the video that will encourge me to explore multiple exposures

[@strattheodoratou7391]

[@ManicSpeed]

Appreciate how well you've explained this👌

[@AF8Images]

Jameel, glad it was helpful! Many thanks for the comment and I hope that you're well. Best regards, Adrian

[@Karenjanehall]

Brilliant / thank you / you’ve saved me hours trying to figure out what’s happening! You can get great abstract results if you play with the white balance too

[@jsr8884]

Nicely explained. I have to try this on my D750. Maybe I will put the focus on manual mode.

[@ysh791]

Best explanation thank you soo much😍❤️🌸

[@jacquelinetaylor6027]

Rick, it certainly was a bit of fun and I didn't make it easy for myself with the background but you learn as you try! Hope you're well, Adrian

[@mutmar32]

amazing this was so helpful! wish you had more subscribers

[@AF8Images]

Thank you so much! You comment is much appreciated. Keep Safe, Adrian

[@discoveringastronomyconceptvid]

Well done!! Thank you. My one question: what is the time between exposures? That is, how do you know when to move your arms? Is that time adjustable? I'm a Canon user; I see no way to adjust that time. Seems like, in general, the camera should be on a tripod for the continuous shooting mode. Anyway, thanks!!

[@cabbagepatch8947]

Can this be used as a sort of HDR method to improve dynamic range in a still interior view with the camera on a tripod?

[@linaionta7590]

Hi. Great video! On my nikon d5300 I only have the option of 'auto gain on/ off'. How does my camera blend the images together? Would it be using the "add" or the "average" algorhythm?

[@janmartin4864]

I only have the d850 and d500 would your methods work on my camera I’m a beginner

[@AF8Images]

Hi there Jan, I know the D850 has similar functionality and I think the D500 too. It's worth having a play with it and get someone to stand against a blank wall and move their arms while you shoot as this will allow you to see the different effects. Hope this helps, Adrian 👍
