EX103 Multiple Exposures

As I will be away next week running a workshop. I wanted to set the weekly exercise around helping others, and hence ourselves to develop our multiple exposure techniques.

Please post examples of the multiple exposure technique and spend time describing what you did for the others. This will help you clarify what you are doing.

Try to explain your thought process too if you can.

Post your photographs here https://lensclub.discussion.community/post/ex102-multiple-exposures-11405275?pid=1322620491#post1322620491

So if you are new to multiple exposures or you need some direction. Please try a few different new techniques with multiple exposures in week one. Experiment widely.

In week two narrow it down to one technique and subject (perhaps) and really focus on mastering just one technique. Choose the one that spoke to you the most. Rather than the one you mastered the most easily. Let your emotions guide you.

Post your results from both weeks. In week one concentrating on telling others the technique. In week two, concentrating on developing and describing that technique that you focused on.

It is a great opportunity to help others understand what you are doing, and that will help you with yours.

The Oriton Effect

This can be done in camera or in software. You are looking at two photographs one in focus and the other out of focus.

I did this with my olympus em1 mk2 in multiple exposure mode. I have the setting no of frames set to 2f and the Auto gain set to on. I always photograph the sharp one first, then I unfocus the second and add it... a lovely soft focus effect.

Composition, I maintain you need to compose solidily. Make sure you don't let the technique over ride good solid composition.
