multi exposure tutorial

Hello,

A while ago (before I had my digital), I used my regular camera to
create Multiple Exposure pictures. It involved compensating three stops
when I used 8 exposures in one frame, the outcome was amazing, I still
have big Yellow flower hanging in my daughter's room.

Now I have Digital SLR (Canon Rebel), and was looking for same effect.

I found tutorial which suggest taking 8 pictures with 3 stops
compensation and then putting each on different layer, and use screen
blending mode to all layers except the bottom one, but its not working
well. I use GIMP not Photoshop.

Anyone have experience?

This is the tutorial I used
http://www.naturephotographers.net/a.../tg0903-1.html

I have a friend who has a compositing program I will get in touch with
him and see what it is.

This sounds like High Dynamic Range (HDR) where you add several
exposures to get more range from shadow to highlights.

I haven't tried it with my D80 yet, but it has a 3 exposure option
built-in and it sounds interesting for some subjects. Might be handy
for Christmas.

Try doing a Google search on DHR and see what programs are being used.

Photomatix from http://www.hdrsoft.com/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_dynamic_range_imaging is also a good
source.
