A ten shot multiple exposure taken on a rainy trail in the woods. I added the border just for a little arty effect but, apart from that, this is what came from the camera (for whatever from the camera means in terms of a multiple exposure. Understand that the D70 doesn't do multiple exposures in camera - I shoot ten shots and then combine them into a single image using Picture Window Pro's "Stack Image" function. Stack images does exactly what the name suggests.).
I've beem asked "why nine shots?" (I normally do 9 shots) and "how are the shots made?" - among other questions. As seen by the use of ten in this image, there is nothing magic about nine. For me nine stems from the fact that the originator of this technique, my role model Freeman Patterson, normally uses nine shots (but not always). All other things being equal, the more shots you do the smoother (less jagged) the result is - but it's a personal taste thing. How? - Freeman handholds. I almost always use the tripod (as I do for 99.99% of my images) to gain better control - and I normally pan vertically between shots. However, the panning direction is a variable. In fact, you can pan and zoom both (or just zoom, or where ever your imagination takes you). Take a look at my Multiple Exposure Gallery for an idea of the possibilities. http://www.pbase.com/ed_k/multexp
Due to the extreme randomness and variability of this technique you have to make several attempts since you never are sure what will result. I make at least 2-3 attempts of each scene (for example, I did this scene three times). Similarly you need to try a number of different scenes because the "keeper to trash ratio" is pretty low - for example I shot 12 different scenes and got at most four keepers. Some that I had great hopes for flopped - and vice versa.
