You can combine frames afterwards in software such as Photoshop, too. Of course, making your multiple exposures in-camera is not the only way of creating this effect. Photo © Afton Almaraz Combining Images in Post-Production

Create a portrait, photographing the same person in profile and straight on.

Photograph the same subject twice – first normally and then with intentional camera movement.

Try combining a landscape or architectural scene with a reflection of the same thing in a nearby river or lake.

You can use this to your advantage by first framing silhouettes against a bright sky, then framing intricate details that fill in the dark area. To get around this, either compose to avoid dark-on-dark/light-on-light situations, or use the exposure compensation control, just as you would normally.Īlso notice that the second image will show through the first picture in areas that are dark. You’ll find that putting something dark over the top of an already dark object gives a very dark result, just as superimposing two light objects gives a result that’s too bright.

They don’t have to be the same thing – an architectural image looks great with a frame full of flowers superimposed over the top of it, for instance. Try picking subjects that complement or contrast each other in terms of color and texture. Choose OK and you are finished – the double-exposure photo is saved to the memory card as a JPEG file alongside all of the regular images. When you’ve framed your second image, you’ll again be asked if this is OK or if you want to try again (NEXT or RETRY). This is there to help you compose and take some of the guesswork out of the process.

If you’re OK with your starting image, choose NEXT.Īs you create the second image, you’ll notice you can see a ghost of the first image over the top. Your camera will ask if you are happy and want to proceed to the second image, or if you’d like to recreate the first one (NEXT or RETRY). Now you’re ready to make the first image, which you can do as normal.

Start by selecting the MULTIPLE EXPOSURE mode, which you’ll find in the DRIVE SETTINGS menu, or on the drive settings dial if your camera has one – it’s indicated by two overlapping squares.
