No it wouldn't, as it would be in the same 'memory' as that would require complety overwriting the information from the previous exposure. no. yes, you obviously dont know much about electronics down to that level. Itls digital remmeber either a 1 or a 0 unlike film. Not at the sensor's pixel level. At that stage it is a collection of variously filled photon/electron buckets. at the end of the day, it's two clicks resulting in one image, just as it's done with a film camera. No it's not. it is. Not even close. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

Not even you are silly enough to think that's what I meant. a bit extreme, but it makes the point. An irrelevant point. it's very relevant. the reason for combining in camera is so that doesn't need to be done later on a computer, i.e., mac, windows, ios or android device. nobody is going to copy existing *back* to a camera to use *its* 'computer' to combine them somehow, then copy the results back to the original computer (see above for what qualifies). As for your idea that a computer needs a keyboard or a mouse to make it a computer, missing the point, as usual. what are you going to make of an iPad, let alone the flight systems in an Airbus? ipads use touch instead of a mouse and there is a built in keyboard as well as the ability to connect external keyboards.

So too does the processor in a camera. you're *very* confused. but the real kicker is i remember you arguing several years back that an ipad wasn't a computer. now you say it is. I bet you won't find that one. i could if i was so inclined. the ipad is coming up on 9 years, so it could be anywhere in that time. You never even find your alleged recent quotes. also wrong. |

Whisky-dave wrote: Itls digital remmeber either a 1 or a 0 unlike film. a silver halide crystal on film is 1 or 0, depending if light hit it or not. No it is not it has levels the individual molecules do. it's exposed or it's not. 1 or 0. So as I've said in the past analogue is better than digital. it's definitely not. a sensor in a digital camera is an analog device whose output voltage varies on how much light hits it. not 1 or 0. In yuor dreams perhaps. nope. that's how they work. But they are reset they are not fixed unlike film. doesn't matter If the sensor is analogue then why is it a digital camera. because the rest of the camera is digital. what's digital about it then. the signal processing. the values stored in memory are as much as 48 bits per pixel, much, much more than 1 or 0. Irrelivant nope. it's exactly on point. But the sensor is read, unlike film, and it is read in intervals of time. film is also read, also in intervals of time. Leave a peice of film out and the light level will accumalte and it will all eventually become exposed call it state 1. With a semsor it may well be at fully exposed 1 but it can be reset to 0 again film can't. yes it can, just not easily, and that's one of many reasons why digital is much better. |

I love creating these in the summertime to take advantage of flowers in bloom. However, Autumn is a great time of year for double exposures as well. Fall leaves, pine trees, and holiday decor work really well with this style and the opportunities to experiment are endless. In order to create double exposures in-camera, you need to have a camera with this feature built-in. I’m using a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV but there are a number of cameras with the feature available. You can also create a double exposure look using an editing program like Photoshop but I find that creating these in camera is a lot more fun and can yield unexpected results." https://s3.amazonaws.com/viewbug_com...leExposure.pdf Double exposure in film, I can understand. But a digital camera would just add the pixel values from two files, thus being no different from postprocessing on the computer. To be valid, the sensor would have to be exposed, and then, without reading it, exposing it again. Are they really doing it? Nikon, Canon, and Fujifilm (and probably others) have a multi-exposure feature/mode which allows for two separate exposures, on two frames, which are blended into a single file. It is a bit of a novelty and nothing that cannot be done in post. Not true. What is not true? There are images that I take using ME that cannot be duplicated in post. I gave an example. Multiple exposure, one image, walking around the tree. The effects and color were added in post. https://www.dropbox.com/s/2c7cul49u4jgo9b/tree1024.jpg?dl=0 There is only one question which comes to mind. Why? Because I want to. I know that type of image is not your thing, but that's why Ford is now making cars in different colors, including black. -- PeterN |

Nikon, Canon, and Fujifilm (and probably others) have a multi-exposure feature/mode which allows for two separate exposures, on two frames, which are blended into a single file. It is a bit of a novelty and nothing that cannot be done in post. Ok, so they do two frames, then merge or blend them into a single file. That's postprocessing, not really "double exposure" in my book. It simply emulates it, but it is not it. are you channeling eric? it's double exposure, without any emulation whatsoever. It's not a double exposure it's two seperate exposures on two seperate frames. Which is what happenes whenever you take two photos. Then they are merged together something that doesn't happen when taking single exposures. Is HDR a multi-exposure technigue I'd say yes but it isn't the same as what was done in film multi-exposures. While HDR shot in a digital camera is a digital multi-exposure technique, I would consider it an exposure bracketing rather than an analog double exposure. Then you have Focus Stacking/Bracketing which is another digital multi-exposure technique which would be a royal pain to execute with film. So I'd say it was emulation of double exposure, or it could be a simulation if exactly the same method was used as would be used in film. also, a double exposure of the same scene will have less noise, The vast majority of double exposures wouldn't be of exactly the same scene otherwise they'd be little point in doing it, unless for HDR of course which is when you do take multiple shots of the same scene. Once you have the CPU of the digital camera available a whole World of possibilities opens up none of which other, than the classic double-exposure, are easily available to film. For example with my Fujifilm cameras with a single press of the shutter release, with WB/bracketing, ISO/bracketing or Film Simulation/bracketing I can obtain three individual exposures of the exact same scene with either different WB, ISO, or Film Sim all generated via the in-camera CPU. You just cannot do that with film. All of those digital multi-exposure techniques can actually be quite useful, whereas, I consider the digital ‘double-exposure’ a novelty as it can be done far better, and more deliberately in post processing, even on different days, months, or even years. Not so with film, unless by some freak accident. Unless you intentionally set out to do a multiple in camera exposure. And plan it properly. Then it wouldn’t be a freak accident. By definition. ;-) -- PeterN |

Respectfully SD, I think you are dismissing the photo unfairly. While I wouldn't cover a wall with it, it is an interesting photo. I'm not a fan of "gimmicks" ('effects... added in post'), unless they are naturally occurring. But the photo has enough of colors that could be natural over a length of seasons. In the fall in central Pennsylvania, this is what a tree looks like, sorta. I would like to see the structure of the tree a bit stronger, more evident, more dense. I am bothered by the mass of red/purple to the upper right. I would also like to see more details (and less green) in the bottom portion. Still, I'm sure Bob Ross would consider it a "happy tree"! Thanks for your constructive comment. I like to experiment. Some of them work, I'm the first to admit that most don't. But, that is one of the ways we learn. -- PeterN |

However, Peter and I have never seen eye-to-eye when it comes to most of his “artistic” post processing interpretations. They just do not appeal to my taste, and Peter has known that for years. And I do not take that personally. I like to see a comment saying what a person thinks is wrong with an image. I also recognize that taste varies widely. e.g. i hate the taste of blended Scotch, but really enjoy a single malt Irish. -- PeterN |

snip I can remember some view cameras in the past which had the shutter, and shutter release on the lens with a cable release (before that they used a squeeze bulb). In that case the shutter had to be set in much the same way as the hammer on a single action firearm. With those deliberate, double, or multi exposures on a single plate, or sheet of film would be possible without worry of moving film out of frame register. I thought a lot of the later 4x5 view cameras of the type used by the press, had the shutter on the lens. Some that were used for portraits, architecture, & landscape, with slower film used a light protecting slide to expose the film. -- PeterN |
