Last Tuesday our guest speaker Andre Gallant presented several different techniques for capturing movement and passage of time (my terms). One technique that captured multiple images on one frame was available on Nikon cameras. Two pieces of information may be of interest to Canon users, one probably no cost, the other at $3,500.
The first piece of information is that I have a new post on my site that explains how you can produce multiple image composites with any camera using Photoshop (quite possibly Photoshop Elements as well). Read it and follow the simple instructions, even Andre could follow them! The second piece of information is that the new Canon 5D Mark-III can do multiple image captures on one frame in camera with several options. That will set you back about $3,500! Take your pick, my way or the bank way. I will also post another tutorial that will explain how you can capture multiple images on one frame using Canon gear.
Fair warning, I do not take “painterly” as a compliment. I am proud to be a photographer and do not have brush-envy!
Well this just goes to prove there is more than one way to achieve the end goal, and there is no better way just different routes with different scenery.
If we all did the same thing, it would be quite boring; wouldn’t it? I noticed at the meeting that some Canon users were dismayed that their cameras did not handle this kind of result. Then I decided to remedy that. A neat part about this is that the process can also be automated.
