Yesterday, the subject of multi-exposures came up. I’ve experimented with those a few times - all of them with people, and most of them self-portraits. So, since Saturdays here are designated Free For All Day, because I do nothing on Saturdays anyway, today I’m posting a couple of my multi-exposure shots. The top photo came from my first batch of shots. A couple months later, I tried again. The first time I was shooting blind, and had never done this before. Worked out well, but I wanted to see if I could get myself a little less transparent. With the second shot, I gave each exposure a little longer time and moved all the clutter from the front porch. Now that I’ve discovered the joys of Tri-X, I will be attempting another set of multi-exposures to see if I can get myself a little less transparent without overexposing the rest of the scene.
I was probably quite a sight to see shooting these. Both times I had to sneak out of the door with all my equipment, props, and house keys so that my sons wouldn’t notice my absence. They are my shadows and make such a fuss when I go outside. (For those who are new here, they have three older sisters to watch over them when I was doing my experimenting.) Each time, I forgot my shoes. I also hadn’t purchased the remote for my camera at these times; so I would hit self timer, then make a mad dash across the rocks in my bare feet to get in position and pose before the 10 seconds was up and the shutter tripped.

These are so much fun! I love them!
I noticed something, we have the same hair style...lol! Your's is a bit longer than mine right now. 1 1/2 years ago I donated 14 inches, I am getting ready to do it again, but I still have a few more inches to go. (I wear bangs too, (I hate my forehead). I am a red-head. Maybe some day I'll post a pic of myself, but I hate the way I look in photos.
:) Cool shots! :)
Great montage. I like the result very much.
Nice effect, Micki. You just gave me some ideas... :-)
I pretty much like these shots - pretty creative - great looking - 70s ghostly type scene - pretty cool.GREAT shots!
You just gave me some idea too. I love both of these pictures. You have a great imagination:). What tunes?
Cute, but a little freaky at the same time. :)
Looks like fun! I'll have to try that some time.
These are exceptionally good results and the ghostliness is something else ! What an intriguing effect.
multiple exposure--multiple fun
WOW...I see ghots...I LOVE the stories that always come with the stories. Beautiful photos...kudos for doing this with film.
Impressive work Micki...veeeeeeerrrrryyyyyyy impressive.
Oh I'm feeling way better thk u ;)

There was a time when children were seen, but not heard. Now, apparently, they are barely seen and not heard. LOL
These are terrific photos with clever compositions.
I have an old minolta SRT200 camera that still shoots well. Maybe I should pull it out and use it...
...Naw (he says with a nod to your fine images), I'll stick with the Canon 20D.
very strange and very cool!
I am really amazed at your creativity. Especially love the first one, because of the gestures :-).
Excellent!
My fav of the day, well done ;)
Very cool. Well done. :)
Very entertaining shots (and descriptions)! Ghostly. I have to try this sometime.
Oooh, fantastic! Especially the second one says to me, "Busy mom". Bet you wish there were three of you sometimes.
I'll repeat another poster's question: What tunes?
Inquiring minds want to know.
quite impressive Micki! love the effect..cheers ;)
What cool pictures!
Very good multiple exposures. Ghostly!
very cool and ghostly :)
What a fun series! Well done.
wow! I`ve got so much to learn!!! Your shots is excellent
Micki, looks like you had a lot of fun doing these! What a great idea, very well done! :)
Hmm, ghosts!
I love "Hear No Evil, See No Evil, Speak No Evil" and your second attempt is just as good but the first one is so spooky. The larger version of it is quite striking and I love your poses, especially your eyes as they look away for "hear no evil".
Wow!
Interesting shots! Well done :)
Excellent effects here.
nice shots - like the ghost effect! nice technique must try by myself i think :)
Wow, that's really amazing that you did this with your camera without any retouching! Really cool self-portraits!!
People so rarely attempt multiple exposures anymore (I'm guilty) because of the ease of photoshop. But there is something that seems more authentic when you do it in camera on film. These shot are well executed. The first one is just spooky.
It's been a long while. I definitely need to try some again. Very Very well done on your end.
Oh you make me miss the film days. I love the multi-exposures on this one.
LOVE THIS!!!!!
Nice shots! Unfortunately in digital, there's no way of capturing a multi-exposure with different backgrounds or split-timings on the same digital frame without going digital editing/post-processing multiple frames...
Great shots!
What a cool series of shots. This would be greatif it had beendone in photoshop, but the fact that you are doing it with FILM makes it spectacular!
Thats so good micki!
Once again, you skillfully demonstrate one of the advantages of film vs. digital - excellent work, and I rather enjoy the transparent qualities inherent in this type of exposure.
Very creative! Great multi-exposure!
Abe
great work, i love toying with this idea myself
