Multiple Moon
Waxing Gibbous (94%), multiple exposure captured on 27th November 2020. As the moon phase grows (gibbous) so does the need to increase the gap between multiple exposure shots, unless you want to achieve the kissing effect such as this. Looks quite cool.
This is a six number multiple exposure with a 1.5 min interval between shots.
Here's how I captured this shot all in-camera using the Olympus OM-D, E-M1 mk3.
Olympus OM-D, E-M1 mk3
100-400mm pro lens
f6.3, 1/1250s, ISO 400, spot metering
Tripod.
In camera menu2 select Multiple Exposure - Number of frames 2f - OK and then composing the crescent in top left of LCD screen I took first shot. Using a timer I waited 1.5 mins and then I took the 2nd photo.
Once done the camera will process the multiple exposure (2 frames or 2 moons in one image).
Thats the first part, now to get more moons in a single frame go back into menu2 select Multiple Exposure again - 2F and also Overlay to On. When you switch overlay on the LCD screen shows you existing images taken. Select the first image of 2 moons - OK. Keep the timer running and after another 1.5 mins take another image. This time the camera will overlay the double moon with the new image making 3 in total. (Repeat the same process for more multiple shots). Each image has to be manually captured and ensuring focus remains consistent is a challenge!
A fun project, all done within camera.
Stay safe.
