I know there are some photographers that still like to pick up that trusty ol 'SLR, insert a roll of film and get out there and experiment in the field. Then, grinning with anticipation of access such as pick up developed film from your favorite photo shop and the person behind the counter ask, "How did you take that picture? This is awesome !"
It is this photography 'purest' to whom I appeal (this time) - the ones that are still used as a movie every now and then. Most photographers have Digital SLRs (DSLR - "et moi aussi"). I know I can create this effect with Photoshop, after the fact, but has creative control over this special effect makes it exciting because you execute this photo of a miracle at the precise moment when you press the shutter button
.ghosting . That is what this special effect is called, is achieved by the SLR and multiple exposure feature, but with a simple twist to ensure proper film exposure. procedure described in this article differs from the instructions in your SLR manual. ghosting is perfect for pictures involving subjects in motion, taken when the camera and the background is stable (not moving) and patients navigate around or through the frame. I have had great success using this effect when photographing people moving around the historic site or children as they scamper over rocks. I have also used in this sense for weddings and sports shoots.
Example: In one wedding photograph, the groom stood still at the bottom of the stone steps to the historic dwelling, his hand extended towards his bride, who slowly moved down the steps toward her groom. My six deliberate 'clicks' of the shutter created airy, surreal picture of the wedding couple.
Depending on the speed of an object, the shutter can be held down in rapid fire mode or each exposure can be carefully choreographed:
1) each subject deliberately positioned in the frame,
2) one 'click' of the shutter, and
3) Repeat steps 1 and 2 on the total number of multiple exposures you set in camera.
So, what are the mechanics of this "through the lens" shot to achieve ghosting effect ?
1 Stabilize the camera - using a tripod is best, stable surface, the second choice, or a steady hand as a last resort,
2 Set the number of multiple exposures you require for the frame to (n) - usually 1 to 9
3 For rolls of film in your SLR, determine the film speed (S );
4 Reset the camera film speed (Yes, you can override the setting) to (N × S) or, if not an exact match, set it to the absolute closest rate ((N × S) ± adjustment );
5 Take your picture, press the shutter button is equal to the total number of camera exposures you set in step "2 ".
Example:
1 You want 6 exposures on the frame (N = 6) to set the number of multiple exposures';
2 Save the film speed is 200 (S = 200 );
3 Reset the speed camera in the movie '1200 '(= 200 × 6 );
4 Press the shutter button 6 times (for 6 exposures ).
NOTE: Check and reset the SLR film speed and number of exposures to their original settings before you continue with your next shot. Some SLRs will automatically reset the number of exposures back to '1 'before advancing to the next film frame. It is always better to check.
There are no special instructions for the development of its films. Normal development at the rated speed of the film will provide the correct image is exposed and developed - a simple and beautiful. This is a photo art!
