Double Exposure


I would like to know a clear way to learn how to do double exposures. One in particular is a wedding shot where the couple is peeking around the tree and they are looking at themselves kissing. I have tried reading about it but get lost. Thanks

  This might be difficult to explain. But I will try and hope it helps you. Have you tried doing this at all, or just read about it?Are you reading it from your cameras maual book? That is where you need to begin. Get your camer and look at it while you read your manual. Push the buttons it says to push and look in the view finder as well. When you figure out how to set your camera for a double exposure, then you need to remember that after you make the first exposure, the second exposure HAS to be underexposed. Otherwise, it will be to overexposed. You will need to try and take the first exposure off to the side so there is room for the second exposure as well. The second exposure should also take place in a clear area so nothing covers the first exposure. I really hope I have not caused you to be more confused here! Sorry if I have. Just read your manual and play around with it. That is the best way to learn. good luck!
