The color combination is luscious, Debby...and I have no idea how you did multiple exposures inside the camera.

The technique came from Tony Sweet. Several Nikon cameras have the feature of multiple exposures in camera. It's more complicated to do it with other cameras because of exposure adjustments and the need to put the images together in software.

With a Nikon, you set the number of multiples from 2 to 10 and apply "auto gain" so the camera makes the exposure adjustments, (another Nikon feature). I took this on a tripod with a 200mm macro lens that has a collar. After each shot was taken I turned the camera ever so slightly using the loosened collar. After 10 shots or whatever number you choose, the camera automatically combines them.

This was taken at home with natural window light and a colorful group of flowers in a vase. I focused on one flower and used a wide aperture. It’s a great technique for flower gardens and also fun with a zoom lens where you can turn the camera and zoom at the same time.

Thanks for asking, Michelle, and I’m glad you like the colors!

  Hey Congrats Debby on being featured in Photoflash! Beautiful in-camera capture - I love the colors and soft edges! This is very seductive - I will have to try this with my Nikon.

Sorry have not been around much - very busy time of year. Hope everything is well with you!

  Thank you Jo Ann, Erica, Kay, Rona, and Jim; and Michelle for leading me to describe the process. I truly appreciate your kind words and support! I also want to encourage you to try and practice multiple exposures. They are fun to do and you never know how they are going to turn out.
