Man to Man

This is one in a series of four shots I took experimenting with the "digital multiple exposure" technique. This was my longest and, I think, most effective exposure of the series; that is, my ghostly images are the most apparent in this exposure.

 

How did I do it? I set the camera to its lowest ISO speed and its smallest aperture. I put the camera on a tripod. I set the shooting mode to remote/timer and the shutter speed to bulb. I walked into frame, aimed my remote shutter control at the camera, pressed the button to start a bulb exposure, and held a position for about 45 seconds, then quickly moved to another position and held that for another 45 seconds or so, then pressed the button on my remote to close the shutter.

 

It was fun being creative. It reminded me of an improvisational acting class.
