In my previous blog post, I showed some fall forest impressions obtained by panning the camera. Another impressionist technique I like is taking multiple exposures in camera. In some cases it produces images I like better than the ones I get from panning the camera, but in other instances panning is the way to go. I make every effort to take pans and multiple exposures of the same subject, and chose the ones I prefer\u00a0later on. And sometimes, I can\u2019t decide.<\/p>\n

\"Multiple<\/a>
This is one subject where panning didn’t really work for me. I much, much prefer this multiple exposure version. Taken in Blackford Hill, Edinburgh.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Finding subjects that work with multiple exposures is a matter of trial and error. I stumbled upon trees as a good subject for this technique while walking in Princes Street Gardens, Edinburgh. I then tried the technique on multiple trees in the forest of Blackford Hill. Since I liked the results, I decided to go back to the same location to document the seasonal changes.<\/p>\n

\"Multiple<\/a>
This is another example of a multiple exposure version woking better than the panning shot. And I would not have been able to decide which technique worked best prior to taking the photos.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I do these kinds of personal projects because they help me refine my vision as a photographer. When starting out in photography, one is very often frustrated because the images out of the camera do not correspond to what one saw on location. This is because the digital camera doesn\u2019t see the world the way we do.<\/p>\n

\"Multiple<\/a>
This scene is one example where I like both versions, multiple exposures and panning (see my previous blog post for the panning shot)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It is thus important to be able to visualise in one\u2019s mind what the photograph is going to\u00a0look like given the scene in front of us.<\/p>\n

\"Multiple<\/a>
Here’s another case where I cannot decide if I like the multiple exposure or panning shot better.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

My light painting and impressionism projects do require a great deal of\u00a0pre-visualisation, and I believe they\u2019ll make me a better photographer.<\/p>\n

\"Multiple<\/a>
It’s always a good idea to take both vertical and horizontal compositions. I find it harder to take multiple exposures photograph when holding the camera vertically.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
