Multiple exposure for increased DOF is allowed as I understand the rules. It has been discussed in the forums. |

It is allowed, I thought of using it for a challenge but wanted to double check and sent in a ticket and got this response from kirbic

I haven't seen anyone do it yet. Do you know if its been tried? Could be opening a Pandora's box. |

The use of multiple images to enhance a single scene -- where nothing moves around, disappears, etc. -- is legal. Except for exposure, there should be no difference* between the individual frames which make up the composite.
*There will always be a subjectively-determined "gray area" in the rules when there are minor difference between the frames, as in waves, something moving in the wind, a bird flying through. I don't believe there is (or can be) a clear, objective guide here, because it will depend on how (and whether) the item is used and contributes to the overall composition.
The most common (DPC-legal) uses of combining multiple images are:
-HDR (expanding the range of tones reproduced beyond those which can be captured in a single exposure)
-Enhanced DOF control
-Noise-reduction/image amplification in astro-photography. Check out RegiStax for this; here's a Tutorial for planetary images.
===============
Under the current Advanced rules, the following uses of multiple images would not be allowed:
-Expanding the field of view; creating panoramas
-Creating multiple iterations of your subject; time-lapse and "trick photography"
-Combining multiple subjects or scenes into a new composite scene, or placing subjects from one scene into another
-Probably many other clever techniques I haven't thought of ... :-)
================
There is nothing "wrong" with any of these techniques -- they just don't work with the structure of our challenges and the site. By all means set up a Side Challenge (it can just be a posting thread -- it doesn't have to be a competition!) if you want to -- if you include panoramas I might even try and contribute ... :-) |

FYI the D50 does not have the image overlay feature. I believe the D3, D300, D200, and D80 have that capability.

This one by the Doc.

The one and only shot I've ever used my camera overlay feature for here at DPC.

o wow! so... if used to enhance DOF or focus on the same scene, same subject, then its ok? that is primarily what I was thinking of doing with the D300. Photos like this from Ursula
I'm pretty sure this is multiexposure, if not, you get my point.. its her flower shots I am looking forward to recreating.
Nald: I am aware of my camera's limitations, hence the initial post mentioning my desire to upgrade to the D300 :) |
Nah, that's not a multi. Straight shot. Many others are though FWIW. |
