how do you take mutiple expsosures?

Question

how do i take double exposure and is possibal to take more than just double exposure

Answer 1

There's three basic methods.

For all film bodies with in body shutter, such as SLR's, rangefinders and other bodies. (This won't work with all cameras, especially many cheap Point and shoots)..

For cameras fitted with a multiple exposure button or lever, engage it and then wind forward the film advance leverr as normal.

Method II: For SLR's not fitted with a multiple exposure button or lever. Press the film release button or catch(normally on the base of the camera) and while holding it down carefully 'wind' on to the next frame. The film will not move if it's done properly. Take second exposure. Repeat as required.

For Copal/leaf type shutters (as found on TLR's, and many large format cameras, where the shutter is inside the actual lens. After taking the first shot, recock the shutter and take the second exposure.

Don't forget to make allowances in exposure times when making multiple exposures so as not to over expose the image.

Answer 2

Most newer camera's have a multiple exposure setting or mode, check in owners manual.
With an older manual SLR, take your first shot, then push the button on the bottom of the camera, like you were going to rewind the film(take up spool release), reset the shutter w/the winder lever. Sometimes you have to hold the take up release button while you reset the shutter.
You can make an index mark on the inside of your camera body near the take up spool, load film and make a corresponding mark on the film leader, shoot the whole roll, rewind and reload and shoot again. I've done this with pics of the full moon, then re shoot with daytime landscapes with decent results.
You can also sandwich slides, or go digital but I'll leave that to the digi savvy folks out here.

Answer 3

That all really depends how you want to do it, there's a lot of 'incamera' tricks and even more Photoshop tricks. If you have a totally manual camera then you can shoot and reshoot onto the same frame without advancing. If you have an automatic camera then you can double expose the entire roll. You will have to shoot the roll and rewind it back in the tube manually. You can go to any specialty photo lab and ask them to do this for you, they may help you. You really need a completely dark space to do this, you can buy black out bags commercially for changing film canisters on the go, or just find a really dark room in your home and release the film from your camera and wind it back by hand and shoot the roll again. This will be a bit 'blind' in composure, the easiest way is to double expose the photo paper, if you have any knowledge of photography.

But the far easiest way is just to literally place 2 images on top of each other in Photoshop and use the layering F/X for combining them.

Answer 4

You need a camera that does not automatically advance; or at least a camera that allows you to manually advance the film. Take a shot, do NOT advance the film, and then take another shot - dual exposure!

Answer 5

Go to AIRC-Adorama Imaging Resource Center and click on SFX Special Effects. If you can't do in-camera double exposures there is an explanation on how to do them in Photoshop.

Answer 6

Using slower shutter speed at "B Mode" and controlling your flash at continue mode ,asking a model to move his/her hands up and down ,then continuing shooting for several shots by using same image.
