Hi guys. I found this amazing stream that was quite inspiring. Have a look at this:

How exactly is this done? I know how it's done on a film camera, but Is itbpossible to do this "in camera" on an SLR? I knowni could just throw it all together in Photoshop, but I'd love to be able to do this "in camera".

Thanks!

did you check your camera's custom settings options?

Well, I'm not sure what to look for. This is my first SLR, and I've only had it for about 3 weeks. It's a D80. What should I be looking for?

here's what I have in my D300...possibly the same for your D80. In your menu options go to the Shooting Menu. There you should see Multiple Exposure. Pick the number of shots you want to take for your single exposure. That should be all you need to do (btw, I've never tried this, but I think this will do it for you) Let me know if this works for you

Take 2 photos
Open in Photoshop
Create new file with same dimensions as photos (or desired dimensions)
Paste Photo A in as Layer 1
Paste Photo B in as Layer 2
Set both to 50% opacity
ENsure background layer is WHITE, 100% opacity (default)

Enjoy.

I seriously have no idea how I missed that. "Multiple Exposure" was exactly what I was looking for, and I didn't see it at all :|

Thanks man!

A simpler photoshop method, is to Paste Photo B onto Photo A - and then set blending mode of the photo B layer to overlay.

Also, a sidenote - I think there is a RAW overlay in your camera as well, you can select any two raw shots - It works like multiple exposure, except after the fact, but in camera. It`s useful for when you want to keep the single exposures. Like working in black and white you can have more freedom to tweak if you do things in photoshop, but, in camera will give good results too.

There are some things you simply can't do in-camera. The Multiple Exposure feature in the camera is generally used for images like what you would see in a snowboard or skateboard magazine where you see the subject several times in the same frame. It's not really designed for this kind of effect.
