My K-5, as many other dslr's, have the ability to take multiple exposure shots.
Post your photos here with an explanation of how the photo was taken.

This could be fun as well as tutorial.

You mean the on camera option with this right?
So the ghost images and such

I have one, I first took a moon with M-200mm, then took the wide angle by da15. As my da15 fell to the ground with the tripod, the image is not very on focus. Just for fun, not a good one though.

One more, this one is four exposures. K-7's iso is bad. I found that multi-exposure could help reduce the noise.

Here's one of my very first efforts at this which I did last week with my K20d.




And oddly enough a triple exposure with my 645n camera on film at nearly the same time. I bumped the camera...

With my K10D. Sarracenia oreophila. One was with auto EV enabled. I don't remember which is which.

In a photo class I took back in the 80s we shot a roll of slide film and exchanged it with another student for the multiple exposures. That was fun.

Yes. On board.
But not necessarily ghost images. If you can get clean ones too.

Only multi exposure I have ever done. K5 and 900mm FL refractor.

Sweet shot! That's very cool.

Thanks, took some tries to get the timing somewhat right.

multiple exposure is an interesting subject.
If you're trying to create a scene where the subject is repeated but looks like a single exposure is not so easy to get it right.

That is right, the camera does a really good job of preventing over-exposure of the total image, if the desired output is like you said, then either a skillful manipulation in photo-shop or the use of light-painting or "stobist" technique might be the way to go about it.
I am too lazy so the in camera worked fine for me.
Cheers.

You can do the "twin" technique. These was used extensively in the 60s television "The Patty Duke Show" where she played identical cousins. Lock the camera down, mask off one half of the image/lens (say the right side). Shoot the scene normally with the actor on the left. Rewind the film. Mask off the other half. Shoot the scene again with the actor on right. If done properly the seam line should be barely noticeable. Cokin has a filter for this.

I could never get it to register properly using my Minolta X-700 film camera. In order to do multiple exposures without rewinding the film I had to 1) tension the film with the rewind knob 2) keep the tension on the film by holding the rewind know while pressing the rewind release and operating the advance lever. No matter what I did there would always be a little movement of the film, throwing the alignment off.

This should be a snap now with my DSLR. I just haven't gotten around to trying. I finally found the filter that I misplaced somewhere.

Cokin Double Exposure Filter Series A A346

Yes, you can do this in post processing but where is the fun in that?

Hi all,

Experimented with multiple exposures on a recent Mexican vacation. Very useful to get longer effective exposure time without ND filters.

Compare the two shots below - a single 13s exposure didn't give me a really smooth sea, but a 5 (I think) shot multi-exposure gave me an even more wonderful result, IMHO.

Single exposure:




Multi-exposure:

Sweet shot!!!

What is the ideal number of exposures for high ISO noise reduction? It seems like too many shots introduce blur from slight shifts in position (i.e. diminishing returns). Is 3-5 good?
