Multiple Exposure Help - D7000

[brian_f2.8]

Im trying something new(to me) with my camera. Im able to merge 2 photos together into one exposure. Is it possible to do more than 3? Like 10 maybe?

How can I get one image into another. Say a texture into the outline of a person(silhouette)? Is this my camera settings? I have only tried a few images. When I get time, Ill load up a few to help more but anyone that has done this before should be able to give a few pointers.

If I want a silhouette should I shoot for that kind of an image like f16 into a back light? Im on google search and looking for inspiration.

Two is the limit for in-camera work. More than that, and you need to do it in post.

3 for the D7000.

Much preferred anyway, for better control over all aspects.

Shows you what happens when you get old....... you forget things. I never fiddled with in-cam MEs anyway.

Me neither - not since my film days, that is. Just ran across a box with some of my old masks in it the other day while looking for things to put on eBay. Brought back memories.

I can do 3 but I have seen some really good ones doing more exposure. Of course I think I'd need a D4. Im at the bottom of the learning curve now but Ill invest some time. Just looking for some help.

Why do you want to do it in-camera rather than in-post?

+1.

Any in-the-camera editing gives you little in the way of editing options.

All of Nikon's entry-level cameras are limited to 3 multiple exposures, and 3 bracketed exposures. (page 152 of the D7000 user's manual)
All of Nikon's prosumer/pro cameras allow up to 10 multiple exposures, and 9 bracketed exposures.

this is a photo forum not a graphics forum. i want to learn more of what the camera can do rather than PS.

if i want to pan a car then i shoot it at a 1/30th of a second, not 1/2000 then add motion blur

There's no need to get defensive. I was just wondering.

Now go delete all your post processing software, and never ask any questions about post processing on this PHOTO FORUM, photography purist. In fact, just go back to film and leave the digital age to those of us that can handle living in it. :er:

Basically, your in-camera ability simply 'stacks' the images together, much like viewing 2 or 3 slides together. You can't mask or do 'layers' like you can in post.

For instance, if you're taking photos of a bride in her white dress at the beach, and you want to combine a wide-angle, full-length shot of the entire dress with a close-up of the bride with her flowers in the upper corner, the blue sky & clouds in the first shot will appear right along with the bust shot in the second.

Unless you create and work with masks while shooting, which is a chore, especially for complex masking.

Googles, YouTube... about to go do that right now. Interesting topic though.
