Thanks,

Howdy Russell,
Part 4: Don't forget that since you are using multiple exposures that you can do whatever you want between exposures - including changing aperture or focal length, zooming your lens, or even changing lenses. Unfortunately digital camera don't have multiple exposure capability, you'll need to have a film camera that allows multiple exposures. Have fun! If you try it, let me know how yours turn out!

Howdy Russell,
Part 3: regarding the out-of-focus exposures in the image - the goal of the out-of-focus exposures is to make the actual objects so soft and out of focus that you aren't recording any detail at all, you are simply looking for color information, go for big soft blobs of color. If you can identify what the objects are when you've thrown them out of focus, then it will likely be better even more out of focus. Easiest to do this by opening your aperture (f-stop) to wide open (f2.8, 3.5, 4.0, or whatever it may be for your lens) and manually focusing to a distance shorter than the close-focus distance of the lens. This can be hard to do with wide-angle lenses, so mid to telephoto lenses work better for this technique. Try to get a focal length of at least 50mm if possible and still get the composition you want. Still more, next reply!

Howdy Russell,
Here's part 2 of my response: If your camera won't allow you to override the ISO (I think Nikon and Minolta you have to use the following method instead), then you can use exposure compensation. For example, if you want 8 multiple exposures, then set your exposure compensation to -3 which is 3 stops underexposed because 1 stop is 1/2 the light, 2 stops is 1/4 the light, and 3 stops is 1/8 the light for each exposure. In the end, 8 exposures letting in 1/8th the light each time, gives you enough light let in to give the proper exposure for 1 piece of film. If you want 16 multiple exposures, then use -4 for exposure compensation for each exposure. More next reply!

Howdy Russell,
The easiest way to determine how to correctly choose the amount of underexposure for each exposure for a multiple exposure image is by using this formula: True Film Speed (ISO) multiplied by the number of exposures that you plan to make equals the ISO that you should manually change the film to. So, if you are using 100 ISO film and plan to make 8 exposures on a single piece of film, then manually change your film ISO to 800 which is 100 x 8 = 800. You can then use your camera's meter readings, make your 8 exposures and the image will come out exposed correctly. More in another message box.

Howdy Mariola,
Thank you for the comment. The impressionistic look brought much more of the wonderful experience to life than a classic landscape look. The image brings back the warm experience of meandering through quaking golden aspen on a sunny, warm fall morning.....

Howdy John,
Exactly! I actually began learning the technique from a book by Freeman Patterson. I have also tried multiple exposures for vertical pans, horizontal pans, in/out focus, and various other unusual techniques. Haven't tried camera rotation though, didn't think of that. Thanks for the idea. My favorites so far have been the in/out focus ones though which seem to create a dream-like quality that catches emotion better.

Mark,
This is such an amazing result.
Just wondering of if you could describe the process a bit more. I assume you underexposed each exposure by a number of stops, if so how many?
You say that 6 exposures are out of focus,but how out of focus, did you force the focus to its closest distance and just limit the depth of field?
I am looking forward to your response
Cheers,
Russell

Works for me Mark. Have you tried rotating the camera between each exposure as well? Freeman Paterson is a master of these different techniques. Regards John
