Multi exposure is the taking of a number of shots on the same frame. This allows the stop action photograph of a movement that occurs in a very short time frame of one or two seconds.

1. Multi Exposure
As you become more practiced and familiar with your camera and the available
accessories, you can start trying other ways of making shots more attention-
grabbing.
Multi exposure is the taking of a number of shots on the same frame. This allows
the stop action photograph of a movement that occurs in a very short time frame
of one or two seconds. Various examples may be, a Golf Swing, a sword strike in
martial arts or even a tennis swing. Forehand, backhand and lob can all be
photographed using multi exposure. A good flash is essential for multiple
flashes when taking the multiple exposures when indoor. It is necessary to use a
tripod to keep the centre of gravity of the subject steady.
A Golf swing is easiest as the Golfer is stationary in one spot. Squeeze the
shutter button the moment the Golfer start the swing. Later when looking at the
photographs, the Golfer may be able to see the errors and conceivably correct
the swing.
For martial arts and tennis, more work is required to anticipate where the
person/s will be at the best moment to capture the movement that tells the
story.
Photographs of a shining sword in a sweeping multiple exposure in the hands of a
martial arts proponent executing a move can be quite stunning.
In Tae Kwan Do, it is also possible to see two opponents launching themselves in
jumping side kicks to perform a strike, when they are both in the air. The near
contact of the blade of the foot to the intended targets can be quite clearly
seen.
In Tennis, the easiest is during the serve. After that the players are running
about so it takes more effort.
Generally, many other games like baseball can be photographed using multiple
exposures.
Bulb Exposure
Another fascinating photography hobby is to take night shots using Bulb
exposure. This holds the shutter open for a period of time allowing the exposure
to be made. Car headlights become light streams, defining the roads in the city,
with all the nearby neon signs clearly photographed. At airports where it is
possible to photograph aircrafts taking off, the rising path of the planes can
be seen.
For people, it can be fun to ask a long hair girl to pose at a busy roadside,
especially just after a bend, so it can seem like she is standing in a curve of
car headlights light stream. With some wind, the light stream is partially
visible in her hair as the wind spread it like a fan. It takes some trials to
get the effects you want. You can also use cross screen filters so that the
street lights are neater, appearing as stars with well defined points.
