2. High speed photography

3. How it’s done.

High speed photography is done with an extremely fast shutter speed which allows
you to freeze the movement within the image.

You will want to ensure that there is plenty of light where you are taking the shot
because the more light that is let into your camera the faster the shutter speed you
can achieve therefore the greater and stiller the shot. This means that using a wide
aperture like f8 would be better for shots like these.

You will often want to be close to the subject to ensure that you have full focus on
the desired area when using a wide aperture, although adjusting and experimenting
with focal length could be worth trying.

Using continuous shooting will allow you to take numerous images in a matter of
seconds allowing for a better chance of getting that shot that you were looking for.

4. Multiple exposure
photography

5. How it’s done.

This can be achieved by using the multiple exposure function that is found in some
cameras but only very few have this function available to them.

If this function is not available to you then you can use another simple technique to
achieve the same effect.

This is where you you take multiple images, you then transfer them into Photoshop.
When in Photoshop you can layer the images up on top of each other and using the
tools to adjust opacity you can determine which images come through stronger.

You will have a base image which a lot of the time will provide a shape for the rest of
the images to fit into. This will mean cutting away any excess of the other images
which protrudes out of this shape.

The key to a good final look to your multiple exposure image is that you have
blended them together so it looks as though they are meant to be part of one and
other.
