Double Exposure. What the ?!@#$%^&*

Hi Gaye,

Looks like a flare back from reflection to me.

Not sure though.

A D2x..hummmm You go girl. Not something I will ever have.

D100 is the limit, I guess for me.

 

may be ghosting, what lens was in use?

 

Gaye
I do not own a D2X but I thought multiple exposures was a option on this camera. You can create a single image from ten exposures.

 

Gaye,

I may be dreaming, but I thought that the D2X had a setting where you could take multiple exposures.

I would not think that ghosting would occur on that combo. This may be stupid, (but thatnks to the group here i wont likely get slammed) but do you have multiple exposure enabled in csm menu?

 

If you weren't shooting thru glass (no lens pun intended), then this looks like a mult exposure. On my Fuji S3, it has this feature and is on the left side top, dial for Single/Continuous/Timed/Multiple. Mine needs a small button to be held down to change it, not sure about yours. The Fuji S3 body is a Nikon so it probably has a layout similar to yours. You think you cd have changed this setting my mistake? That overlaid image looks far too clear to be ghosting.

 

I had a double exposure on one of my first shots. It wasn't ghosting. A real double exposure. Don't know why it happened and I didn't do anything different to settings to cause it.

 

Double exposure

Gaye,

Double exposure is an option on the D2X. It actually works quite well. Check your manual then your custom settings to be sure it isn't enabled.

Just wondered if you were shooting through your car window that might have given you that reflection? If it were a double exposure you would have had to turn around and shoot the house behind you. Did you do that?? I can't picture how this could have happened with out it being a reflection, especially since you said the house was behind you.

 

I'm glad you found it Gaye, I wish I had that feature. I used to use my double exposure capability on my Nikon F3 body quite a bit. I have placed many a moon in my night shots.

 

D2X

definitely has ME mode. I fiddled with it the other day. When you set it "on", you select how many exposures will be piled into one, then set the "gain". Once you finish the # of exposures that you had pre-set, the ME mode then goes off until you set it again.
I think that you somehow inadvertently set it up and got a double, then it turned off.

 

But it's so simple to do in Photoshop...

This is a "triple exposure":

 

That's what I thought, Frank, until this was pointed out to me in the Fuji forum.... interesting way of shooting..
