Multiple Exposure
In Camera, Multiple Exposure or Double Exposure originated with film photography where you expose the same film twice but today there are several cameras that are capable of allowing you to utilise the same technique and achieve these images digitally. Canon 5D Mark III is one of these cameras. At the back of the camera is a paint brush looking button, It is called the Creative Photo Button. Hit this button and a menu of 3 options will come up, select the center option, Activate the disabled Multiple Exposure options and scroll down to the On: Function/Control. Capture an image, the background with a higher exposure, essentially a silhouette image. When satisfied choosing the second image Hit the Creative Photo button and select the center option, Activate the disabled Multiple Exposure options and scroll down to the On: Function/Control again. Scroll down to the bottom and select the 'select image for multiple exposures'. Turn the wheel to select which image to use as the background. Push SET button and OK. Activate the live/view button. The second image will be highlighted on the silhouetted first image. Compose your second image and click.

Posed my grandsons against a opened door with an overexposed background to essentially create a silhouetted image of their profiles. Deciding to capture images to fit and compliment the profiles, we took a stroll around our neighbourhood to find complimenting images. With Live/View activated it was possible to position and compose the second image over my grandsons profiles. I had researched the technique by watching several You Tube 'How to' tutorials.

Rather than throwing two images over one another randomly, I had intended to create these images as an image that fit and compliment each other to form a unique finished image by positioning my camera to best compose my creation. An orange for an ear adornment, A palm leaf as a hat and as hair, A pine tree hanging needle leaves as dreadlocks hair, a combination of house and trees for a robotic look and the tree tops to create a metamorphosis transformation for another image.
