Disappearing Trick

[Guest]

The attached still life was my first attempt at using one of the new features in the firmware of the recently acquired Pentax K10D. It allows several exposures on the same frame and the overall exposure is equally divided between all the individual exposures. What do you think of this, I realise it has limited uses.

Might be fun to try on the lunar eclipse.

You're way ahead of me trying out the K10D functions!

The overall exposure is maybe just slightly dark for my personal taste - but the details and colours are there, including good definition between the can and the dark table.

Nice one, Dennis.

Re: Disappearing Trick

Neat trick, interesting but can be done on most camera's manually useing multiple exposures, I like your thinking and the results, levels and curves would give it a kick.

Pol suggested it was too dark, so I modified a bit to see if this looked any better. Tinka said it can be done on most cameras - but can they do it on a single frame. I realise it can be done with seperate exposures and then combined in PS with layers.

Re: Disappearing Trick

Dennis, I have to be honest and admit that when I saw your original, I was unsure what it was that you had done or indeed what the camera had done for you. To me it was simply a series of beer cans in a row and getting progressivly more out focus. Pol obviously downloaded it and lightened it in order to see the true effect. Now you have posted the latest version, I can see clearly what it was you were originally on about Clever stuff

Hi DennisP,
Although I have only seen this done on film cameras, Yes it can be done on one frame useing the multiple exposure facility "if it has one" This facility prevents the film from winding on, and you would have to be anble to work out the exposures needed for each take etc: I believe that I read somewhere that it can also be done manually on digi cameras as well. perhaps some one can enlighten us.

Re: Disappearing Trick Mod

I agree with Stephens comment re first pic, but definitely like & find the 2nd pic very interesting. Would love to know how to do it if it wasn't too complicated!
