Multiple Exposures

As I said in my last blog, I am learning multiple exposures. This is not that easy and I am beginning to think that the 2 great shots were the proverbial beginner’s luck. There is so much that plays into it. If I want just the stippled effect that many exposures over each other give, the number is not playing that big a role, I just need 5 or more.

The images with the flowers are interesting. I rotated the camera while taking the images. I can see why a tripod is important for those kind of shots. It is difficult to hand-hold and keep the same flower exactly in the same place. I will have to figure out how to do this, since I have only about 25 seconds between shots, otherwise the camera turns off the multiple exposure setting.

I figured I try it also without me moving the camera on something that is moving. The effect is interesting. I am posting 2 images for comparison: one a multiple exposure, the other a long exposure.

Please let me know what you think about the images. Is something like this appealing to you? I’ll keep on shooting.
