Multiple exposure shots. How?
Discussion
Hi, I've recently brought my first proper camera and no surprise i have no idea what to do with it, I have seen some nice multiple exposure shots they look like a bit of fun but have no idea if this is done on the camera or on software after.
Looking for idea's on how to get some good shots and any suggestions for kit to buy, I'm not looking to spend fortunes and hopefully started with a good mid range camera.
Canon Eos60d with standard 55 mm lens.

On my 450d you can go into the menu and change the AEB to take 3 shots sequentially with 1/3 stop intervals.
Is that what you mean?
I assume he means a photo with something in the foreground changing, e.g.:Is that what you mean?
But the interval stops did make me think of HDR, which then made me think of this...
lol

OP - its always helpful when asking a question to post examples so we know what your talking about.

I thought New Zealand was bigger than that Rob!
Shoppery is the modern way but another technique altogether is to divide the exposure by the number of frames. IE you take four photos each at 1/4 of the correct exposure and end up with one photo of correct exposure - but with moving bits strobe-style. But as Rob said, without an example we're only guessing.
I believe some SLR's can actually do double or multiple exposures akin to not winding the film on and taking another shot over the one you took earlier.
DigitalRev have a video doing just this. http://www.digitalrev.com/article/how-to-do-cool-d...
I am not sure which cameras support this. It is not too clear in the video but I think he does just about mention that the camera must have this function. It is not the AEB function.
I am not sure if it is a purely software function ( i guess it could be if you could store shot 1 in the buffer and then when shot 2 arrives, use image processing to overlay them) or if does require a level of hardware work , i.e. circuitry to keep the pixel voltages, instead of draining them to read the image off.

Its relatively easy (in some cases)
Camera on tripod with 10 second timer, best to use manual mode and fix the exposure.
Take a bunch of shots.
load them into photoshop (or similar) add layer masks, mask out (or in) the important bits.
The 'in a little world of my own' shot was a mission though, 150 odd frames layered then stitched, multiple gigabytes of files.
