. Combining different scenes can well reflect the photographer's skills and creativity. This shooting technique is called multiple exposure. If your camera supports this shooting mode, then don't miss this trick.
Multiple exposure is a technology that uses two or more independent exposures during the photography process to combine them into one photo.
can form a unique visual effect due to the different subject, parameters, angles, etc. during the shooting process. It is a product of the traditional film SLR camera era. It is suitable for reflecting different subjects and emotions in the same photo, highlighting a complex and diverse feeling, and is also a very popular creative shooting method.
So how to implement this technique?
First of all, with the development of technology, many people use post-synthesis rather than pre-shooting when achieving this effect. So today we will mainly discuss shooting skills.
1. First, you need to confirm that your camera has multiple exposure functions. Generally, in addition to the entry-level machine, this function will be available, which can be found in the menu and adjusted accordingly.
2. In the camera's multiple exposure interface, two operating modes, function/control and continuous shooting will be displayed. Generally speaking, the former is more commonly used, and the effect can be viewed during shooting, while the latter can improve shooting efficiency, but it requires a certain amount of experience and is not particularly practical.
3. The control method controls the final exposure effect and synthesis process of the photo.
Multiple exposure generally has these control methods:
(01) Addition: the photo is superimposed, and the picture will become brighter and brighter.
(02) Bright: retain the highlights and superimpose the shadowed part.
(03) Dark: Contrary to brightness, keep the shadows and overlay the highlights.
(04) Average: Multiple photos are exposed as the final effect.
Generally speaking, the average effect is most widely used and is suitable for most scenes; addition is suitable for low-light environments; brightness and shadows have relatively more complex scene requirements, and you can choose according to your own ideas.
4. When shooting, we can manually adjust the number of synthesis on the operation page. Generally speaking, we choose 2 or 3 synthesis, which can support up to 9 synthesis.
5. For other options, we can choose the default effect, mainly manually adjusting the control method and the number of shots.
In specific practice, we need to pay attention to these points:
1. Use your imagination and boldly connect different things. After all, this effect pursues personal creativity.
2. Try various control methods to adapt to the operating skills under different lighting conditions. If necessary, you can combine later techniques to further develop your personal creativity.
3. Pay attention to the details. If we pursue static effects, we need to fix the subject and the camera to shoot, and reflect the layer and texture of the subject through the changes in the scene light; if we pursue dynamic effects, we can try to change the parameters and focal length during the shooting process to highlight the changes.
