Someone may have mentioned this by now but I just rewatched this video and wanted to let you know that there is a third way to do this, also in camera, and it results in a RAW image, to boot! Go to your Retouch menu and find image overlay. Once in there, you can select the single images that you want to merge, hit OK, and you now have a RAW multiple exposure! My Nikon D7000 will only allow me to select 2 images, but your newer model may be capable of more. I get some good results that I like better than if I merged them in post! Cheers!

[@dianedonnelly3491]

Fantastic! Such a great and informative video! Thank you. What are your settings for ICM of the grasses?

[@alejandroalcala2340]

This is one of those few videos that I can truly say it was inspirational. Thanks!!!

[@gerardmckeever4487]

Once again Kim an inspirational video and since your introduction on it a few weeks back I've been dabbing at it. For me Less is More, maybe a 3rd image. Amazing shots towards the end

[@marktaylor9579]

Very inspiring Kim, cant wait to give this a try. Have a happy Christmas and a peaceful new year.

[@a2roland]

Thanks cool vid

[@Johnny-tt8zc]

Love the image @10:40 . Merry Christmas to you and your family. And may 2023 be the best year ever. 🎄

[@dianneandres3770]

I've wanted to try this with my Nikon D850, and after watching this video I gave it a shot, what fun this is! Thank you so much for your detailed explanation. I love all of you videos!

[@dwrisdon2487]

Bravo! I enjoyed the format of you "focusing" on a single process.

[@scotts9810]

These photographs turned out very well. I'm loving my new photography hobby😊

[@slannne]

Thanks Kim. I’ll try this see what I can come up with. Never even thought of doing this. Excellent video.

[@PeteLoughlin]

What an eye opener. I would personally prefer to do this on the computer but I love the creative ideas that your videos inspires

[@teresababer5310]

Wonderful video - great tips and tricks…..ending with some stunning images! I’m feeling inspired so thanks so much!!!

[@joncothranphotography9375]

Wow! I'm going to check for that option in my camera. Thanks Kim!

[@mikiethebikie]

Thanks Kim, I get 3 images on my D7200. This is a great technique. A very merry Christmas to you a the best of 2023.

[@5RustyBin]

wow they look amazing - almost ethereal! Stay happy and keep snapping :)

[@paulmartin7604]

Thanks for pointing this out, I have the Canon 90D and have got this facility. Will be trying this out over the next few days. 👍

[@julgug]

I'm so excited to try this!

[@robertllawrencejr5503]

Thank you! Great video. I recently realized that my Z50 can do this. I love the ICM and the in-camera multiple exposure

[@deepaktalwardt]

Thanks, Kim! Very much looking forward to the Photoshop tutorial.

[@lisasimpson9343]

Definitely giving that a go, love it and yes my old DSLR Canon does have the function, cant wait. Thank you Kim and I love your beanie lol.

[@peterschumann661]

I loved it, good idea, as you say, it's good to look in the camera's menu at what setting possibilities you can achieve

[@kennym5898]

Thank you Kim. Nice video, great pictures. Enthusiasm without the hysteria as seen on some tutorials. Nicely done. 👌

[@randyschwager2515]

Thanks Kim! This will be fun to experiment with! I didn’t even know that my Nikon D500 had this in-camera capability! Thanks for taking me along!

[@mikeyids]

Great idea Kim. Looking forward to seeing how you blend images in photoshop

[@Triplebuc50]

Love your accent in your Speech, and your excellent explanation of your subject, VERY NICE

[@williammorrison5739]

Great video Kim you always come up with new things to try. I wish you a Merry Christmas.

[@grachilly6969]

Great idea. Looking forward to seeing if I can do it in camera and get out over Christmas to give it a go. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year and thanks for all the videos and tips throughout this year 🎄🎅👍📷

[@joepublisher166]

The 3 and 4 image overlays towards the end are awarding winning in my opinion! Great work!

[@kimgrantphotography]

Thank you very much Joe

[@timrosenburgh9485]

Another very interesting video Kim. I knew exactly where you were as we were there in March and photographed there. I haven't posted anything on Instagram for a while as i sort of lost my photography mojo, but hoping to start posting again. Great images as usual.

[@a.beckwith4576]

Thankyou, excellent video, lots of food for thought. Merry Christmas Kim

[@ashstubbings2603]

Hi Kim! Hope you had a nice Christmas. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that my D90 does have the capacity to do multiple exposures. It's not something i've ever had a go at before. Until now! 😁😁

[@juliehatton2564]

loveley images kim , Well done .

[@RoyJenkinsPacker]

Interesting concept. Will look in to my camera settings. Another great idea.

[@johncameron6853]

Great vid Kim, need to give this a go. Merry Christmas to you when it comes and a Happy New Year.

[@marycarron5118]

Even though I can't do this technique on my entry level camera I loved seeing the results you produced, Kim. I really like that painterly look to images. And I can imagine how enjoyable it is to create those images in camera but hopefully photoshop will provide an alternative so I'll look forward to learning how to do that. Nollaig Shona - a Christmas greeting from Ireland. I hope 2023 will be a great year for you.

[@InfectedChris]

Don't let your camera limit you. The best camera is the one you've got with you!

[@johnearl2303]

Some really nice images there, I might give it a go in the new year

[@kennetht66]

That's pretty cool thanks for sharing it with us!

[@frankleap]

Wow. Wonderful images and thank you for this tutorial. I have a Canon R that does this but I haven’t really messed with it much. That being said it’s going to be a new go to for me. Thanks for the video and thank YOU for your time!

[@sandy_lone]

Nice technique 👌 Never thought of more than two shots for a double exposure. Love the sea / landscape combination.

[@JohnHPettigrewFujishooter67]

Great job Kim, very well explained, I do a lot of this and find it great fun and very relaxing,really love that 3 shot image of the beach huts, thanks for sharing and a very Merry Christmas to you.

[@andybusard6694]

Hi and Happy New Year! I think the dbl experience with the clouds made them very painterly. Those with the grasses i saw as an extension of the ice tool box, while the combination with the cabins almost had a sky reflection effect. Thanks for sharing...

[@gary9771]

What a great idea! I don’t think I have the capability to do this in camera, but I’m really loving your results. It seems to be a very “painterly” effect. We’ll done! I look forward to seeing how it can be done in photoshop.

[@mawavoy]

Thanks for a great video. Your last image shows how to create synthetic fog.

[@jorgedesousa8361]

Beautiful work!!

[@johnbeattie1225]

Looks really good .Interesting ☺️

[@johns6290]

Thank you for this great video

[@Scotphotoamateur]

Thanks for the inspiration.

[@wwishman]

Great, Thank You

[@AliasJimWirth]

This is really interesting. Quite a step up from the double exposures of the film days. I like your images using this technique.

[@rayevans7812]

I remember doing this with my Fujica ST 605 35mm.

[@AliasJimWirth]

@@rayevans7812 I recall people saying how there was a trick to rewinding your film just enough to make the double exposure. A Nikon F2, for example, did not have that built in. You had to learn your camera. How did you do with your Fujica?

[@rayevans7812]

@@AliasJimWirth Simply pressed the little black rewind button while advancing the film. It reset the shutter while it disengaged the mechanism to advance the film, thus leading to a double exposure.

[@thomastuorto9929]

@@rayevans7812 I wish I was into that back then. With digital, you use auto gain or divide the exposure value (ISO or Shutter Speed?) by the number of photos you want to take, = I believe this is true after breezing thru the Nikon D810 manual. Might of changed with the newer cameras. The reason I bring this up is wondering, the same must be true for film as to not over expose? Y/N?

[@thomastuorto9929]

Would it be possible to set up a quick access to the Multiple Exposure function, like a custom function or if the Z cameras have a Bracket Button like some the Nikon DSLR’s do? Liked the tall blades of sea grass. Looked like ICM & would make a nice camo pattern. Also liked your exit with the light hitting the sea grass against the dark sky. Great vid.

[@jillguest56]

Really enjoyed this video Kim, something I've been thinking about doing for a while but not got round to it...this may just have spurred me on to have a go.

[@kimgrantphotography]

Brilliant to hear Jill! Do enjoy ☺️

[@sarahmitchell7390]

Excellent video. Stunning photographs. Please could you say what camera settings are best to use when doing multiple exposure photographs.

[@marilyngiannuzzi9867]

Oh I love this! I have a Nikon as well so I will give this a go,thank u for this great video!

[@kimgrantphotography]

Enjoy!

[@woodturningjohn]

Funny thing is I never knew my camera could do that and I've owned it for a few years. Tried it today and still need practice lol.

[@MarcusPocus]

ouawww!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@shaungoddard8417]

Hi Kim, what a wonderful video & some stunning images, the step by step guide is so helpful, I am just hoping my A6600 Sony has the ability to do this. away to have a look at the menus now. Quick question where you using shutter priority for this more some when doing the ICM images, I think i will need to turn of the IBIS on the sony if trying to do ICM.

[@alangauld6079]

I used to do this occasionally on film (not always deliberately!) but in digital I much prefer to blend them on the computer. My camera(Olympus) supports it but only for 2 frames(although you can add extra frames one by one later) - another reason I use the computer. Sam Haskins from the 1960s-90s was the master of multi-exposures, his work is phenomenal. Best seen (IMHO) in his seminal 1980 book "Photo Graphics".

[@linssimummo]

Thank you Kim, again it's interesting to see how you create your images. I've got Canon 90D and it allows to take max 9 images on top of each other. Usually I take just two images, but now I will try to take more. Unfortunately my camera combines all photos and there is no change to see each image separately. I'm looking forward for the Photoshop session. 🙂

[@bartromanowski1262]

You've seriously inspired me to do ME. Thank you!

[@kimgrantphotography]

This is so beautiful to hear! I'm so happy you feel inspired to be you 😊 Thank you and enjoy

[@andystiller3793]

Thank you for the inspiration. I know all the Olympus interchangeable lens cameras allow multiple exposure in camera. You can only do 2 frames.

[@gretchencole296]

Did you go over the f stop, shutter speed, iso in another video? I would be curious as to how you set them up.

[@fredwhitehouse6476]

Hi Kim. I am from Canada and just discovered you. Loving your videos and approach to photography. The multiple exposure sounds great but my Z6 won't allow me to access. The error says Can it access with current settings. Looking at forums many have same problem and the only solution is resetting the camera and then starting the process of changing settings until it works. Trouble is you will never know which setting is causing the issue. I also contracted Nikon. Have you had or heard of this problem. Sad I was really looking forward to trying this out. Thanks Fred

[@copleyvalleyguy]

Cheers

[@hawkDan60]

A very belated Christmas to you Kim!! Awesome video!! Keep up the good work!!
