Multi exposure

Is it possible with the 400D to have multiple exposure on same frame/shot. We used to enjoy this with film Cameras and do a lot of trocks with it.

If yes, how?

I asked this question some time back on another forum, and I think the answer was to just use Photoshop or similar

Not sure if any DSLR's will let you do this type of shot, maybe one or two will but unsure

Here's a Sports Shooter article about using multiple exposures on a Nikon D2X, I believe:

They were using it for a three exposure (single photograph) pitching sequence.

Don't know about the 400D, but I know the 300 and 350 won't allow multis. Sensor isn't designed for it. I do multi's by shooting off a tripod, then Photoshopping the finals - something like these!

I think it's called bracketing. I have different cameras than yours which will allow for bracketing (and several types of it) but simulating bracketing as the poster above is a well known practice.
If I am not wrong, you take the same shot quickly underxposing and overexposing one or more stops below and above. Gotta be quick in changing the exposition if you don't have a built in bracketing function (which will shoot three expositions with one click).

No bracketing involved in these shots (although my cameras will do that.) These are just the combinations of a repetition of shots, being careful where the subjects are in each one. In the top example for instance, I used the first shot with the B&G in the centre as my main. I then tightly cropped and cut the B&G out of my second shot and pasted them to the first. Then tightly cropped and cut the B&G from the third shot and also pasted that to the first. This gave me a three layered shot. After I had zoomed in and accurately aligned the 2 added layers I merged them and there you are. Nothing magic, just fun. The B&G loved them.

Yes FotOz, I hand understood your technique and liked it lots, too!

40d do this? or even have like panarama feature?

aymanmb,
Theoretically its possible to do multi exposures on a DSLR, however it is not the same as with film (you can't open and close the shutter for the same photo on DSLR's). The way it can be done on a DSLR is by taking a long exposure (very long exposure and best if you have a external shutter cord) and put the lens cover on change the subject then take lens cover off again. Having a flash that can be fired manually at low power also can aid in the exposures, like in the first photo I posted.
Here are some examples of how I did it.
This one I only have one stuffed animal but I got this.

Bracketing AEB will not take three shots with one click, it requires you to press the shutter three times, one at "correct" exposure, then one under and one over-exposed by however many stops you have set it to.

True that. My bad. Bracketing and multiexposure are two different things. Got confused, apology

Only if Drive mode is set to Single shooting.
With Continuous shooting, you have to press shutter button only once and keep it pressed until all 3 shots are fired.

That will explain why bracketing wouldnt work properly for me the other evening then

OK, that's cool I didn't know that

I'm pretty sure some of the Nikon dSLRS can do multiple exposures. I've seen some really interesting abstract done using this technique and a Nikon.
