Photo Forum / General Photo Topics / General Topics / July 2007double exposures with digital camera
Hello I'm new to digital photography...is there anyone out there who can explain how to create a double exposure using a digital camera? Thanks!

AFAIK you can't do it with a digital camera. You would probably have to do that using layers in a graphics editor on the computer. > AFAIK you can't do it with a digital camera.

If a nikon d200 can do it, I was totally oblivious to the fact. BTW I do not own a nikon d200. I have never seen a feature like that on a digital camera - I've had six of them. >>> AFAIK you can't do it with a digital camera.

According to the manual, there's no limit to the number of exposures. : > It is my experience unknown on non-dSLR cameras and rare on dSLR : > cameras. : > : My Fuji S9500 ultrazoom bridge has this as a feature, but I've never : used it. According to the manual, there's no limit to the number of : exposures. Imagine the feeling in the pit of your gut when you realize that you've had the camera set that way for an entire photo shoot. OTOH, if I were implementing a feature like that, I think I'd have the camera record separate images on the card, and just include instructions to the photo-editor that they should be overlaid. Otherwise, a blown highlight in one shot would ruin the entire image. Bob > : > It is my experience unknown on non-dSLR cameras and rare on dSLR > : > cameras.

In the end however the multiexposure option that some cameras have is at best a lame duck. You can do better in Photoshop or something. Somebody! >>>> AFAIK you can't do it with a digital camera.

I admire the ones done in the film days, but today with something like Photoshop the control and ease is so much better I haven't seen a use for the in-digital camera version of this.

What are you making a dble exposure of? With a DSLR you cannot do it in the classical sense. However, you can set a long shutter speed or use BULB and cover the lens between exposures. You cannot re-focus or adjust zoom etc. so you need to think it through before you begin.

If you're using a digital camera, you'd be better off replicating the effect in your chosen graphics package. > Hello > I'm new to digital photography...is there anyone out there who can explain > how to create a double exposure using a digital camera? > > Thanks! > S. Very few cameras support taking one picture on top of another. My Pentax K10D will do it (dSLR) I have not seen a single point and shoot that will. All of that being said you are better off going with post processing. In a program like Photoshop you can load the two images in to a single file (each image on a separate layer) and then adjust the opacity, layer blending mode and even create layer masks to get rid of the the areas you don't want. Doing it post process is much more flexible. Somebody! >Hello >I'm new to digital photography...is there anyone out there who can explain >how to create a double exposure using a digital camera? > >Thanks! >S. You might be better off describing what you are trying to accomplish with a double exposure. Obviously some cameras can make a real double exposure, but most digital cameras cannot. At, literally, the opposite extreme the problem with using software to create a double exposure is extreme number of ways (each slightly different) to do it. Explain what you want to produce, and somebody will probably have ten ways to do it. SignatureFloyd L.

This trick I learn way back in 60's, and mid 80's was the last time I used. Since digital doesn't use film, so I guess with some photo editing skill (using layer) you should have no problem making double or even more than tripple. Photoshop... 2 layers and adjust the opacity... you can use layer masks as well ... there are lots of free videos on how to do it...remember www.GOOGLE.com is your best friend. kk > Hello > I'm new to digital photography...is there anyone out there who can explain > how to create a double exposure using a digital camera? > > Thanks! > S. |
