I wanted to try some multiple exposure photos of flowers, having seen plenty of them in books, and now that the flowers are growing I got a chance to.
 
How do they look? I might not have chosen the best time of day to do them (noon), but at least the higher contrast in the focused frame offsets the blur a little.
For those that don't know what kind of multiple exposures I'm talking about, I take one shot at a fairly small aperture with one of the flowers in focus, then another at the same or a little larger aperture, out of focus, and combine the two in PS. I've seen some amazing examples of it done with layering two slides of film, just trying it out. |

To me the second one works better than the first. The OOF frame provides a nice glow to the dandelions.
The first just appears like there's something OOF in front of the flowers.
These types of images are fun to play with. Check out photographers Freeman Patterson and André Gallant. Their multiple exposures consist of many frames, sometimes around 20-30. |

| Thanks. I'll check both of those out. |

I was thinking of the days when I used to use my manual wind film camera to capture many exposures on a single frame of film to creatively produce an image without using external tools or darkroom effects. Are there any digital cameras that can allow a photographer to capture multiple exposures on a single frame without having to use a photo editing tool in order to capture the effect? I have looked through my 20D documentation and it doesn't say anything about it.
Furthermore, if there are no digital cameras than can do this, and keeping in mind that this is a well-known film camera effect, would it be illegal to submit a photograph where multiple exposures have been used to create the image for the sake of creating an image with this effect?
For instance, let's just say there was a competition that was based around the concept of creating an image where motion is captured... and let's say that I capture 10-frames of a cyclist zooming down the street... Could I layer these photos, one onto another without cropping, so that the motion of the cyclist is captured in full effect? I don't know... Mayber hypotheticals don't fare well in forums, but I think you can probably see where I am going here; if I'm not changing any specific point in the photo, I'm simply layering one photo onto the next, then is this legal in the world of DPC? |

Nikon D200 can. There are few other cameras with the function, I think.
Not sure about how DPC sees it for challenges.

Anything you do strictly in-camera in a single capture is legal. That means if you can figure out a way to get multiple exposures in *one captured frame* you're good to go. In your cyclist example, you cannot take multiple frames and layer them, unless the camera does this itself (there are a few cameras that allow multiple exposures recorded to one file). If you have a cmaera that does not have this capability, you can always get creative. If, for instance, you shot a moving object against a dark background using a strobed flash during a single shutter opening, that would be legal. There are a number of shots here on DPC where multiple flash firings, with or without partial covering of the lens, were used for challenge entries.
