Need Help with Multiple Exposures I would like to do some photography with multiple exposure(double). Can anyone give me any suggestions. I've tried a little bit but the outcome wasn't what I really wanted and the whole pictures just seemed fuzzy. Do you shoot the main subject first and then the background or vice versa? Any hints/suggestions/MAJOR HELP appreciated! Thanks! Michelle

shoot one subject and leave some dark empty space to the side for place to shoot the second subject for the cleanest effect. If light areas must overlap, shoot each subject at -1 under exposure.

Thank you for your help! Would using part of my lens cap work for the "dark empty space". I'm usually trying to shoot landscapes(flowers overlapping buildings) when I'm doing this and there's not usually any dark area out there!

In the scenario you described, you will end up with transparent flowers against the buildings in the background. If this is your objective, shoot the flowers against a black background. (As mentioned, under-exposing this will help maintain detail.) Then, recompose and expose the building normally.

Hard to picture what you mean by overlapping. If you meant flowers on one side and building on the other, that split field double exposure filter that Cokin makes is something that you could use. It covers half the lens, and you rotate it around to cover the other half for the 2nd exposure.Although it needs to done for certain apertures to get a good effect. If you meant on top of each other like a deck of cards, then the brightness of one will overpower the other. Double exposures are best done with dark to black backgrounds.
