Double Exposure c 10d?

[Radtech1]

OK, I will admit that I have not read my intstuction book cover to cover, so, apologies in advance.

But, is there any way to enter "multiple exposure mode" with the 10d. An earlier poster mentioned that (s)he uses multiple exposure on one frame when shooting fireworks. On my old FTb, that was easy, just dont wind the film, but on the 10d?

The 10D does not have multiple exposure functionality. You can always combine several exposures in Photoshop (hmm, haven't tried that yet myself). I'd guess the earlier poster used a long exposure time and just put a sheet of cardboard or something in front of the lens between "exposures".

Hi,

There is no multiple exposure mode with the 10D. However, you can easily accomplish multiple exposures by using the old "hat trick" with fireworks. Make sure your camera is mounted on a tripod and that you will have the entire fireworks area in your viewfinder. Put the lens on manual focus and make sure that it is set to infinity. Set your camera to manual, choose an f/stop of between 5.6 and 11, and set your shutter speed to Bulb and use the remote release to activate the shutter. Then, when the fireworks begin, trigger the shutter and keep the release on and just cover the lens in between each burst until you have recorded several bursts. Then switch off the release to advance to the next frame.

The alternative is even simpler. Take lots of individual bursts - 1 second or longer shutter speeds - and then do multiple overlays of different images using your imaging program such as Photoshop.
