A 10-shot multiple exposure - my 1st ever done entirely in-camera. What a time/effort saver!
Just received my new D300 - love at first sight. Went out yesterday to do some experiments. Shot more hand held shots in one day than my total for the past 3-4 years. Kirk will not have the L-bracket for this new body until mid-December so until then I have no way to attach it to my quick release ball head. Ah well - several weeks to see how the *other half* (probably more like the other 99%) lives. Since I got an 18-200 VR lens (wow - VR really works; Nikon's claim of 4 stops is right on) hand held isn't a problem. However, I don't use the tripod primarily to steady the camera; for me, the main use is an aid to precise controlled compositions.
Normally I'd try for something better for a PAD but this is a benchmark for a new & better way for me to do multiples. Lots of experimenting ahead. What I tried yesterday was to set the camera to shoot continuously while the shutter was depressed (3 or 6 fps option). This was a 10 shot exposure done at 3 fps while moving the camera in a vertical direction. It's a good thing that Nikon is proud of their claimed 150K lifetime shutter release test for the D300 because at this rate I'll be piling up clicks real fast.
Oh, in case anyone's wondering this is the trunk of the 150 year old oak that was in my PAD twice in the past week.
