Great tutorial with Canon 5D
Another good tutorial, suitable for Nikon, Canon, and others with multiple exp capability
Great Examples
Classwork: Please use the class time to practice multiple exposure photos. Experiment with aperture settings and light. Remember you are still working in black and white. If you do not have multiple exposure options on your camera you may complete your assignment using Photoshop, but you will still need to shoot multiple shots. If you have multiple exposure options, experiment with the technique. In camera framing is very valuable.
Homework: Experiment with multiple exposure and the topic/theme: Talk. Remember, this work must be done out of school. Look for examples of talk around your home. What are the symbolic concepts that may be associated with talk. How do we talk with each other? How do you talk with your family? Do you talk differently to different people. What are vehicles for talk? Could sign language be considered an interesting area to explore for talk? How do people talk without using their mouths? You will shoot a variety of photos but upload one final GREAT photo. Your photo must demonstrate your growing knowledge of multiple exposure photography and conceptual planning.
The first 3 and the last picture seem more of the ability because they seem like just one person doing one thing in one spot. While the other pictures are much more artistic because they add two completely different objects, most of which are people and nature put together. The building is another artistic one because it takes two different viewings of the landscape and put it together instead of just one view of it.
ReplyDeleteI believe that the picture of the hands is very artistic and is a great example of multiple exposure.its nice how it shows the woman in the hands and the trees along the forearms as if mother nature sustains humanity.
ReplyDeleteI feel like all of the photos demonstrate technical prowess, but only 2-3 of them take it to a level beyond that of all the others. The first one that really caught my attention was the green tree face picture.This one, I felt took on a degree of artistry because both pictures were very clearly defined and the colors in the plant picture were vibrant which enhanced the multiple exposure. The next one down, to me, was probably just a standard city skyline picture which became a beautiful artistic piece because of the mirror effect that the photographer achieved through the multiple exposures.
ReplyDeleteI really like the city shot where some of the shot is translucent and other parts are inverted and only the center part is right side up and solid. It is a great shot and I think requires the greatest technological prowess seeing as the photo appears to have 3 layers of exposure. It also has a nice inverted symmetrical balance from the right and left sides and really makes the photo beautiful. The clouds are great and add to it. It's good.
ReplyDeleteThe first three and the last photos are all great at showing the technical side of multiple exposure. All the other photos show an artistic spin on it, the girl with the ocean is really cool looking, I think the images unexpectedly go together very well. Then the city taken from both right side up and upside down looks unreal its weird to think its just two photos at different angles.
ReplyDeleteI believe that the photo of the hands is a great example of a photo with a lot of art involved into it. The pictures of the two dancers is a good example of a photo that has multiple exposure used on a single subject.
ReplyDeleteI feel like the face of leaves has the most artistic ability because instead of overlapping two pictures, it looks as if you're replacing a part of the photograph with another.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy the leaf silhouette photo because I think it demonstrates not only the photographer's artistic eye, but it also shows the amount of technical ability to be able to perfect such a shot.
ReplyDeleteAnother one of my favorites is the one of the skyscrapers. I believe he just turned the camera upside down to achieve the shot, but it's such an interesting artistic take on what appears to be a simple shot.
I think that the first few pictures show the technical aspects of multiple exposure, and the last four photos show the artistic ability. The first three show technical aspects because it is just basic overlapping, showing how things change over time, but the last four show a deeper level of artistic ability, because they overlap photos that are different and are deeper in meaning.
ReplyDeleteMy opinion is that the first three are more so focused on the technical prowess while the rest have a more artistic on top of the technical part of the multiple exposures shots. I feel the fourth thru the eighth photos reveal a completely different story versus the breakdowns of motion in the first three.
ReplyDeletei think the first three demonstrate really good technical skill. they demonstrate well what multiple exposure is. they show exactly what it looks like using that technique. The last ones are more artistic, especially the one of the women and the city. They are more artistic because they shoe more feeling and tell more of a story.
ReplyDeletethe city skyline and the plant and hand ones seem like they are mostly done with technical prowess. the gymnasts, boy, and light painting photos definitely show artist ability. the technical ones look like they just put 2 photographs together in photoshop. the other one look amazing.
ReplyDeleteI think that either the intertwined hands or the face made of leaves demonstrates the greatest technical composure. They show a subject highlighted by a natural fill-in giving them a surreal appearance. The artistic representation is in my opinion the woman who appears to be thinking. This is artistic to me because the main subject (the woman) is obvious and is composed of several different other shots such as the main composition of her body (the calm waves). Another reason is that it has the most feeling. Her body is calm (like the waves) and inside her head is a raging storm of thoughts (the violent waves).
ReplyDeleteI think that the photo of the women and the sea shows a really good use of multiple exposure making the photo reveal a lot more touching emotions and a powerful message, for example destiny. Another photo i really love is the one of the face and its background filled with flowers illustrating a message about nature and it's relation with humans. Also I think that multiple exposure can help a lot for taking photos in movement and including different movements in 1 photograph portraying a stronger photograph with more impact on the viewer than just one photo with only one movement shown.
ReplyDeleteI think the first three photos are demonstrate technical prowess, because it shows one objects in one photo, not combined with other photo.
ReplyDeleteThe tree one is really artistic, because it combined the face and the tree in one picture.
I think the first one (the photo of the dancer doing a flip) shows the best control over lighting/exposure, as well as a good demonstration of multiple exposure; this one is my choice for technical ability. Others include the second dancer, the speak no evil one, and the city one.
ReplyDeleteThe shot of the two hands, I think, is the best one artistically. The others are the lady and the shrub slihouette one.
The city's my favorite one overall though
I think the first three picture demonstrate technical prowess and the last five photos show the artistic side in using multiple exposure. In my opinion the picture of the lady and what looks like a wave inside her is the most artistic out of all these pictures.
ReplyDeleteThe first three pictures are different from others because on other pictures, the background picture is parallel with the person, but in the first three, the people is the background While the other pictures are much more artistic because they add two completely different objects, most of which are people and nature put together.
ReplyDeleteI feel that the first three photos demonstrate more technological skills, since they depict the subject in different positions very well, but appear less "artsy" than the following five photos, which all have an abstract quality to them that make them more than just a nicely shot photo. The last photo for example, captures the man both when he begins his light painting artwork and after he finishes. When I look at the photo, I feel like I witnessed the whole process of him creating the picture, and so I see it more as a work of art than a technical photo.
