Anyone tried the Image Overlay option in the D40's Retouch Menu?
Strikes me that if I take a pic of a scene underexposed, keep the camera absolutely still, and then take another of this same scene overexposed, I could then merge the two right in the camera via the Image Overlay option and maybe get an HDR type additional photo? I think you can also adjust the transparency of each of the input photos too...
You could also probably take some shots of people, move the camera a tiny bit with each, and then overlay the pics in a transparent manner to create ghost trails..? -Another good reason for me to buy a tripod, right? -Gotta try some of this cool stuff!
(Hooray 'lil D40!)
