Pentax K10D multi-exposure mode. Let's all share more tricks.

[yvon_bourque1]

I read all kind of questions on various forums and blogs about using neutral

density filters. The use of neutral density filters can diminish the light

reaching the sensor, and in turn, allowing a larger aperture during bright

daylight. I assume that you know why this is useful, but here is a brief

scenario. It?s mid-afternoon with the sun directly above the scene. The scene

is of a water fall or of water rushing in a river. You want to capture the

water with a slow shutter speed so that it will have that soft velvety look to

it. In order to do that, you need a slow shutter speed of 1/8th to 1/30th of a

second, or even slower depending of course of the speed at which the water is

flowing. At such a slow shutter speed, even with smallest aperture, it often is

still too bright to capture the photograph. What do you do?

 

You use the Pentax K10D multi-exposure mode. I don't want to write a full page

here on the subject, but please visit my blog and come back here after to leave

your comments, suggestions and other tricks you have learned using this

excellent tool. Let's help all other out. The more tricks you suggest, the more

we all learn.

Not that I mind but, is this information you'll be putting in your book? Are you going to credit us?

I am not planning to mix my blog with the books. However, if someone actually reveals something unique and "a must for inclusion in any books" I will, after permission is granted, include it in a future book along with proper credits.
