I was wondering, if the Multiple Exposures feature of the D300 was legal in basic. The feature combines several shots into one. However it is done before anything is written to the card and is therefore written as an original image not as a copy. I've just started playing around with it.

Thanks :)

The short answer is "no". This mode would be allowed in Expert Editing, but that's rarely used.

Thanks BM, I see under basic is says you cannot combine multiple photos in camera, however it isn't clear if it means post processing which creates a new image, or if it means any sort of combining even automatic.

Personally I don't think it is any different than your film not advancing in the camera, seems harmless but ah well.

Thanks again!

I thought anything done "in-camera" was legal in basic...including in-camera filters, etc.

Read the rules - it specifies that multiple in-camera exposures are not allowed.

"
You may:
use any feature of your camera while photographing your entry, with the exception of combining multiple captures in-camera."

To confirm, in-camera multiple exposures are not allowed in Basic.

Does that apply only to multiple shutter activations or does it also apply to where the shutter is left open in a dark room and a flash is flashed multiple times or the lens is blocked and unblocked manually with a cover of some kind while the shutter is left open?

You can use flash techniques to generate multiple images - but it has to be a single exposure.

That would be legal as your using a technique to get what you want within a long exposure rather than using in camera computer trickery to pull it off. I'm pretty sure I've seen similar techniques used in basic before.

I kind of agree that multiple exposures in camera should be allowed, but then again I cant nearly afford a D300 so I'm not too cut up about it.

Any technique that uses a single operation of the camera's recording mechanism (shutter opens, light recorded, file written to card) is legal. So multi-flash techniques, painting with light, etc. are all legal as long as they are done in a single capture.

I'm glad to hear that. I've have had something in mind for when the right challenge comes along and I have a chance to actually enter one... and the multiple flash technique is part of it. Thanks for the info.

the fuji s3pro can do the same and it's not even half the price of the d300 anymore :)
btw i agree that multiple exposures should be allowed IN-CAMERA, it's very tricky and can produce very interesting and artsy results.

Pentax K10d at 1/3 the price of the d300 also has the feature :p

Lol sometimes I can be an idiot, I originally thought someone was rattin on my sweet D300 but I see it was a reply to total_novice about other cameras supporting the feature. I will put away my e-peen now and go back to photographing black socks...
