A couple of multiple exposures done in camera. In the age of photoshop do they still stand up to scrutiny.

"multiple exposures"..... I know how to do that with analog and film. But how do you do that with digital? Bulb, and then moving and back to original position or so?

I don't profess to know what you mean by 'multiple exposures' to get this effect but I'd say these stand up to scrutiny anywhere, photoshop or otherwise. I really like them, particularly #1. Any clues as to how you did it? :)

Sorry, Yes Jim, you are right and I should have mentioned it... Very nice pics - especially #1. But I was so intrigued by the technique I forgot to mention.

Thank you for the comments. They were taken at Lincoln Cathedral with a Canon T90. The first thing to meter for was the total exposure, then each shot was taken on a 70- 200 zoom gradually zoomed back for each fraction of the total exposure. Obviously all done manually. These are getting on for 20 years old.

Right, I thought it was something to do with zooming but didn't want to look stupid! :) I love the way the face is coming out of the centre in the first one (or is it retracting into the middle?) I'll be trying that when I get the chance!

Thanks for the explanation. If understand it properly...Technically speaking it is one - long - exposure where the focal distance is changed in steps at such an aperture that the object stays in the DOF range. Interesting technique. Certainly going to try that sometime.

LOl its called zoom burst..I usually do a 1/6 shutter for an average effect...did you try and use spot metering also?

[corkneyfonz]

Thanks for the comment cb1. However, the Canon T90 could do up to 9 mutiple exposures, try counting each individual frame for confirmation. As for being "zoom burst" the image below is an example of the technique. Spot the difference or should I say joined up zoom lines compared to the first two images.
