(Nikon D90, 35mm DX, Multiple Exposure, See Below)
Loitered outside with a few Ekklesia folks after bubble tea into the wee hours of the morning, and somehow wound up experimenting with the multiple exposure setting on my D90. Eventually came across this post by Joe McNally on his blog. Shot some test frames, went to bed, woke up, and continued experimenting until I got the shot above. Both exposures were shot at ISO 100 (L 1.0 on the D90). The first exposure was somewhere in the realm of 2 to 3 seconds, at f/11. The key here - as described by Joe - is that the "camera sees only what you light". So with the first exposure, I 'painted' that beam of light, with a small LED flashlight. No background light made it into the scene. For the second exposure, cranked up the speed to 1/200 to kill any potential ambient, and then fired the flash remotely, via CLS on TTL. Seemed pretty cool, but can't wait to try it out on real subjects. It'll have to wait though, as Ekklesia has games the following day.
More on that in the next post.
