09-05-07 – Invitation to the Dance

It’s not really about photography,
it’s about the farktography!
Cliches and fads vote highly*,
technical merit is less important.
That is the way of the mob,
and the farktography gods!
So take a breath,
submit your photos,
and just have fun#.

/not complaining, just having fun 🙂 (its either this or work!)

* I know I do this from time to time 😛
# or complain, whatever works 😛

The D200 has a multiple exposure setting on it so I thought I would have a play with that (it has an image merger as well but I figured that would be illegal under the rules as you can set different images at different strengths instead of all the images having the same strength with multiple exposures).

It was just 4 shots shot one after the other (had the self-timer set at 20 seconds so I could trigger the camera and get to my mark without having to worry).

The first couple were interesting with my right arm of the M going through the torso of Y but I eventually figured out the marks I needed to avoid hitting myself.

Another attempt using different Muse tops (but I didn’t like it as much thanks to the sleeves on Y)

I remembered Schnee doing something like this for Self Portraits so I thought I would give it a bash 🙂 (and my only other idea was a DDR machine that Staplermofo did much better than I would have!)

Oh anyone trying this with a Nikon – be careful not to leave the camera idle for more than 30 seconds, it will end the multiple exposure on you! It made changing shirts much more fun!

Yeah, apparently it can do up to 10 exposures as one pic now (that might come in handy for hands 😛 Although I want to try the multi-flash thing you did in self portraits too – so many styles to steal, so little time :P)
