double exposure or photoshop job?

skawt-1 (Dec 10, 2009 at 2:18)

Sort of yeah, rider was doing the same trick in the same place but obviously I couldn't expose the rider properly whilst getting the crazy sky so yeah double exposure and then lowered the riders opacity

grahamc (Dec 10, 2009 at 5:57)

Can you shoot double exposures in your camera?

skawt-1 (Dec 10, 2009 at 8:26)

na haha, that sounds well complicated

grahamc (Dec 10, 2009 at 11:53)

Mine has a double exposure mode buried in one of the menus. i might have a wee experiment with it soon.

skawt-1 (Dec 10, 2009 at 12:12)

that actually sounds awesome!

nickf (Dec 10, 2009 at 12:33)

are you talking about bracketing? most decent cameras can do that. taking three shots, two with higher and lower exposure compensation compared to the first set shot. the shots are all separate, not instant with the first click, not that that's what was desired in the shot...

skawt-1 (Dec 10, 2009 at 12:37)

Yeah bracketing is pretty basic stuff but a double exposure mode? :O lol, sounds like a complete bit of software on its own, might aswell be a photomerge program

grahamc (Dec 10, 2009 at 15:38)

A proper double exposure, completely in camera. You set the first shot (say for the sky) and shot as normal, then set your second shot (for rider, subject, texture etc) and shot that and the camera will combine the 2. Scott you bought the wrong camera, Pentax FTW Wink

nickf (Dec 10, 2009 at 19:55)

sounds interesting, but still something that can be done post production. linkey?

grahamc (Dec 15, 2009 at 3:27)

Yeh totally, but it adds a bit more skill to creating the shot as the only control is in exposure settings. Cant really find any links about it (apart from this) It features on the pentax K10 and K20 and the equivalent Samsungs, not sure what other models have it. Probably going to have a play with this feature soon.
