Most Nikon DSLR’s support the multiple-exposure function, that is capturing two or more successive exposures on a frame. Also, for those who shoot in RAW format, you can always exploit the image-overlay feature of your Nikon cameras, which borrows the concept of multiple-exposure’s end-result. But with the advantage that the combining process can be done by selecting any of the photos that you want to combine as long as they are shot in RAW.
I’m sharing some photos, please share yours, too. Thank you.

and another one. . .

Nice examples of what can be achieved. However, I fail to see the need for introducing yet another term. Why not label it 'multi-exposure' or in-camera composites? The image-overlay is but multi-exposure with Autogain = ON.
As in any variant of composited images, having a plan is the crucial point.

I really dig the second image!

All three are really nice!

Yes Sir Bjørn, I totally agree that in-camera image overlay is actually multi-exposure. They are located though in separate menu, the multiple exposure is in the shooting menu and the image overlay is in the retouch menu.

Nice mage Jakov, I dig the dramatic light range.

You don't need the camera feature to arrive at "image overlay" results. This is not done in camera at all, nor is it a result of PS.
-
here's one of my first few takes. . .

Nice examples.

WOW! How was it done then?
Very interesting!
Thanks very much for sharing.

This is a very nice one, John!

Below image is actually a double-exposure. One taken during the day without the fullmoon, and another shot at night during a fullmoon.
Both shots, at same focal length to make the final image look realistic.
-
Another take on the 'girl & church spire' theme. Same procedure as the previous one. Taken less than 1 m away from the previous shot.

There is a ceiling light sneeking silently in... I'd think a window pane plays a role beside the obvious.
-
Not the point I wished to show. The 'image overlay' approach can be done in the selection of the subject(s), combined in-camera, multiple exposures at the same time or on separate occasions, or done later in PS or similar. Different routes to the same end result. One cannot select a specific approach and pooh-pooh it without considering all other possibilities of getting the essentially same image and content.
A puristic or fundamentalist approach to photography only ties your hands and returns little or no rewards.
-
I like the first two from jeoprix, and the flower woman, because in each case there is a real connection between the two images forming the composite.
I agree with Bjørn that it does not matter how the images have been combined - what matters is the artistic vision. Also, is it necessary to limit this to Nikon cameras?

No, not at all. Where did you get that impression? Most cameras these days allow forms of multiple exposures I think.
Feel free to contribute with examples from any brand.

Yes Sir, most cameras nowadays allow this multi-exposure thing.
Everyone is very welcome to post their photos taken or done from any brand.
But in my humble opinion, maybe we could off-limit those done in PS, as that will be considered more of some kind of graphics art, rather than pure photography.

In this case you may want to change the thread title accordingly.

I beg to disagree on that. Where in the work flow the additional image(s) enter is immaterial. To be clear: I do prefer some kind of early stage merging, possibly in-camera, as this tends to reduce the processing workload overhead. But this is from a perspective of being short on time, not based on principle. As I already exemplified, 'layering' can be done in so many different ways and I used the various techniques a lot in my film days too. Way before anyone dreamt of PS.
We haven't even started to discuss beam splitters and mirrors. Superimposing frames is in photographic terms really old hat.

OK. I was just curious about the technique - this is an area of photography I find very rewarding to explore.
There is a German term, 'Bildgebende Verfahren', which I find very apropriate regarding this topic.
As so often there comes a sense of technology with it while the path to aquire the desired result is entirely open.
-

Oh, yes. It should have been, "Multiple-exposure photos, please share yours.
But then, I have no idea how to change the thread title, or if it is really possible to change it.
-
No, not at all. Where did you get that impression?
From the title of the thread.
I don't have any to contribute, yet, but it is an interesting idea and I will do some experiments.

Point well-taken. Thank you for clarifying and taking time to at least enlighten us by your explanation.

I missed that thread title. I'll change it.

This is just an experiment, I have many images of the local weir, frozen water, milky water after various long exposure shots but I wanted to attempt to capture a mixture of the both, some defined details combined with a certain amount of blur in the faster flowing water, this image was achieved using the multiple exposure and then combining into one frame option in the camera.

A fabulous image, Jacques!
I like the resulting effects, and the amount of details is extra-ordinary.
Nice try on your experiment.

Sharing another image. . .

In the days of sandwiched slides
-
This is going to be a great thread. I'm sure Jakov has couple hundreds contributions handy for this thread exclusively. :D
Bjørn - those image overlays are beautiful. Are those reflections on glass? Or that's what I think.
John - the window shot is unique.
Mongo - is that shot from slides? Very cool!
-
A multi-exposure photo, about 8 shots combined in-camera to produce one final image.
Happy Chinese New Year!
-
...............
Mongo - is that shot from slides? Very cool!
Anirban, it is not a multiple exposure in the traditional sense of that term. It is a few slides of a subject "sandwiched" i.e. stacked on top of each other and then photographed straight through the stack of slides. In a sense, it is one exposure of a collection of prior exposures.
Unfortunately, Mongo should have taken his time with it and have done a better job - you can see the defects of misalignment in this example.
-
Anirban, yes I do have a few of these and I have mostly shared them already.
I guess there's nothing wrong in posting them again :)

I assume this composited image hail from the b/w graveyard photo shown elsewhere? Can confirm now the flowers indeed are sorrels (Oxalis), but as the genus is huge, can't provide a specific identification.
-
No, this is on the edge of a wetland right next to the ocean about 25 miles from the cemetary I shot recently. These flowers are just blooming everywhere around here.

Played a little bit with double exposures last weekend, seems to be nice :)

Careful Werner, you could get addicted ::)

I like the the samples that are posted here.
Some multiple-exposure trials. Any suggestions for more applications?
Thanks,

Werner and Nicole made nice multiple exposure images. I must say :)

Wow. Reconstructing in Escher Style. Very well done.

Star trail made with ~150 exposures overlaid in lighten mode.

I often forget to turn off the camera multi exposure setting. However, the accidents are often more interesting than the 'deliberates'.

This one is too good to be accidental.

multiple IR images
-
Fons, your "2 IR images" images are pleasingly complex. I like the first one. The old documentary title "The Sky Above and the Mud Below" comes to mind.
-
thank you Keith
-
I also like the first of the 2 IR. I feel as if I'm hearing various sounds...
-
@ Simato73 – I like the star trail. Can you please explain a little more about the 150 exposures overlaid in lighten mode?
@ Pluton – nice accident. I also had forgotten to turn off the multiple exposure setting and I took it as a challenge to make some pictures.
@Fons - #47 is my favourite
Thanks Jakov and Frank.
-
thank you Akira
thank you Nicole
-
Fons, I really like the IR pink car overlay!
I also like how old, dormant threads on this site suddenly pop up again, when someone wandering through the pages finds one they hadn't seen before and posts a contribution.
Here is mine. From 2010, the last time we had a really big salmon return through the fish ladder at the Ballard Locks in Seattle. I made these after discovering Bjorn's naturfotograf site. He shows some photos made by loading 3 separate images into each of the RGB channels in Photoshop. In the composite stationary objects turn gray (R=G=B), but things in motion get an RGB colour. After blending these I went wild with the RGB curves.

Two recent trials:
-
By the way I just realized that all my contributions to this thread may not have exactly supported the title since they were post processing composites as such they were not right out of the camera.
-
This, however, is done directly in camera ....
-
My apologies if that was th intent.
-
Not necessary, Bob. I freely admit it is often easier to join separate images than doing the multiple exposures in the "purist" fashion. After all, it is the outcome and ideas behind the result that count.
