Multiple exposure in the camera

Yesterday, for the first time in a long time, I took some time to quietly work with the dozens of damselflies in our garden. Such a wonderfully windless evening, where your subject sits perfectly still, gives you plenty of time to focus calmly and determine your composition.
In addition to the “calibrated” macro images of a lantern on a reed, where you ensure that the subject is as parallel as possible to your sensor, I experimented again with the double exposure settings of my Pentax K-1.
Medium, increasing, clear; they all have a slightly different influence on the final image.

Strangely enough, I once again end up with my favorite, the average setting.

3x exposure, Pentax K-1 with A* 200/4.0 macro

If you want to get started with it yourself, the possibilities are endless:

• Change focus point
• Zoom in/out during or after exposure
• Writing with (colored) light
• Moving the camera
• Moving objects during or after exposure
• Change aperture after each exposure
• Change shutter speed after each exposure
• Flash for first photo, move for second photo
