Double-exposure adding the moon
Double exposures in film photography can make some exciting images. There are several way to go about double exposures. In a film camera, there might be a button that allows you to take another picture without having to advance the film. Not all cameras have this function, but it works best with manual winding cameras, usually found on older camera bodies. Double exposures in digital photography can be done with different types of software.
Instructions
Double Exposure with Film Cameras
1. Load film in your camera.
2. Find the button to override the film advance. Each camera is different, so you will have to study the instruction book or call the camera shop or manufacturer if your book doesn't state do this.
3. Take a picture of something, like the seashore or mountain scenery, for example.
4. Wait for conditions to be right to add another image to the existing picture. For example, a mountain picture with a clear blue sky could be enhanced by photographing a bank of clouds building in the sky. Cloud pictures do a lot to break up the boredom of clear skies. Or you could snap a shot of the beach, then wait until a flock of birds flies into your frame and add that to your existing wave shot of the ocean.
5. Advance your film after you have captured what you believe to be a good double-exposure shot.
Double Exposure for Digital Cameras
6. Take several pictures with your digital camera.
7. Upload the pictures to a folder where you want them or open the pictures from your software directly.
8. Manipulate the opacity to blend two pictures together or layer them with both images' opacity set to normal.
9. Save the picture in the folder where you want it.
