Three uses of multiple exposure

Multiple exposure can be described as the superposition of two or more individual exposures to create a single image. may they differ greatly among themselves, or are quite similar. Either way, the aesthetic quality can be achieved depends on several factors s , as the individual quality of each shot, the choice of images to be combined, and the placement of elements within the frame. Here, we give you three options that can give prominence as part of your experimentation with this technique.

HDR Photography. As its English name suggests, HDR images have a wide dynamic range between their areas darker and clearer. This allows both ends can be captured without problems either under-or overexposure. As explained above, is accomplished by several identical shots with different exposures, which are then fused with an editing program - unless the camera come with this function integrated. It is worth mentioning that it is easy to get carried away by the color and light, and create pictures with exaggerated effects and unreal, which is why many feel apprehensive about this technique, however, we highlight its potential when used with moderation and good taste.


Original compositions. As each multiple exposure photography consists of more than one individual making their own items, special care should be given to how they will be once superimposed.Otherwise, it might seem a mixed grout objects. Post-processing allows for more accurate control in this aspect because it gives the possibility to change the location of some elements and control opacity, so that they can raise more or less within the frame. Visualize in your mind the image you want to accomplish, and choose those shots that serve your purposes.


Interesting portraits. The multiple exposures may help to give character and visual interest in this style. If you have any portrait shots that seem to say anything, try merging them with others. Of course, careful to keep the person as a main focus of attention, and not as an element in the midst of other aggregates, as this would diminish the quality of the photograph rather than increase.


The appeal of multiple exposure lies in its ability to create images that might not normally capture reality . So let your imagination and use this technique to compose images fantasy, surreal, original or subtle effects, depending on your style and theme you choose.
