Double Exposure Self-Image

This week #FlickrFriday theme is #DoubleExposure and I'm delighted to discover my D5200 has a setting for this. Although its still quite tricky, I've had a lot of fun tonight getting used to it. In the meantime I ended up with this self-portrait (no one to model) about my favorite book. I think I'm liking this feature and I thought I would share it here.

Interesting shot! Here's a single exposure ghost done the old-fashioned way,

As Derek noted, there is a setting in-camera to do multiple exposures.

​The other way, as I posted above, is using a long exposure and quickly moving the subject out mid-way through the exposure. The exposure for my shot above was 10 seconds. My son sat very still for 5 and then I had him jump out of the scene.

Here's a double-exposure self-portrait I did for a class not long ago. Even with the built-in setting this was a tough one; I'm actually using a few different techniques here. Turned out a little "moodier" than I was going for...

Ok, please be patient with me cause I am new.....I understand that it was one shot but the exposure was 30s but if you are swapping people in and out, why don't you see a blur of people running in and out?

If they move very quickly you dont get a blurr

If you were to take a photo similar to Rick's above and put a neutral density filter on the lens, the filter would force you to use a really slow shutter speed. The unmovable objects such as the bench, window, picture, and plant will be recorded for the entire time.

When someone sits in the photo for a substantial enough time (like Rick said, his son sat for 5 seconds out of the 10 seconds), it will record on the image as being ghost-like or transparent. If someone just runs through the photo from the left to the right quickly, it shouldn't record them. They aren't in place long enough to be captured. I'll have to see if I can find the video I recently watched--someone took a photo of a highway using a neutral density filter. Even though there were cars moving on the highway, the photo shows an empty highway.

Here's the video using a Neutral Density filter so cars don't show up on the freeway. Perhaps you will understand a little better the length of the shutter speed in relation to moving objects. :)

Guys, this technique of multiply exposures has been fun to experiment with this week. Here are a few more of my efforts using the camera feature.

Thanks for posting some advice on how to achieve multiple exposures using a density filter and long exposures. I think I'll need to add that to my wish list of purchases for the future.

Cheers
