Multiple exposure? Does the term sound very unfamiliar to you? Well you're surely not the only one. Although I know pretty much about photography, I just got to know the term yesterday as I stumbled upon this on Wikipedia. Wikipedia defines multiple exposure as an exposure in which the sensitivity to light is reduced and then increased at least once during the total exposure time. Sounds complicated but it is actually a pretty painless process 
I shall not elabourate on how to create a multiple-exposed photo since I'll be posting a tutorial about it pretty soon (yay!!! 
heh). This post is just to let you see how I'm enjoyed myself playing around with the concept.
Multiple exposure allows dark scenes to be displayed beautifully without cranking up the exposure or making us of the curves function in photoshop (which will create a lot of undesirable noise).
The images below are several images stacked on each other digitally (using Adobe Photoshop), since almost all consumer-grade digital camera does not offer this advanced option. We'll start with the photos that are available in higher resolution (that is, you can click on it and the larger verison will be displayed in the lightbox):
1. Clickable Panoramas!
These images are made using multiple exposure (if not mistaken I stacked at least 3 identical images over each other). And then after doing this for each individual images, I joined then up using a panorama stitcher. The images below are merely thumbnails. Click on them to view the full panorama 
haha!
2. Clickable Images
And here are normal images that are multiple-exposed. The second one is 6 individual images stacked on each other. Yes it is ME that is inside the photo. I was having a wardrobe malfunciton at that time so that why you see that I'm wearing that horrible looking blue shirt. Haha!
3. Miscellaneous Images
Miscellaneous doesn't mean that they're not important they do not come with a larger resolution version because I think they're pretty clear and nice emough to be displayed here. Enjoy!
Well hope that the images are so nice that now you're looking forward to the tutorial! Well I hope I can get it done my next week… so stay tuned! May you all have a wonderful exciting fantastic amazing beautiful pleasant weekend!

Multiple exposure sounds and looks like a pretty good photography technique. I am not much of a photographer, and so I am not famaliar with the term.

Benghan: Thanks for commenting! Hope you love them! Haha!
Rei: Glad you love them! Ah wells my personal favourite is the night scene one because I spent quite some effort in ensuring the photos are nice! Haha
anyway I went to your blog and woah! I love the new layout! You never run out of ideas eh? Haha!
jason: You mean the flowers one? Yea they look pretty picture-perfect!
L4wr: Woah that’s a really really LOOOONG comment of yours! Thanks you so much for taking your time to type it out
Your consumer-grade camera allows you to change the shutter speed? OMG that’s pretty rare since everything comes automated in these kind of cameras these days, just like mine. I use a Pentax Optio S55 camera, a pretty old and bulky one, but I still love it besides the little crack on the LCD… 
hmmm do you mean that Asians are expected to be nerdy in overseas? Sounds pretty scary. Eeeks. Anyway yea I’m in junior college already - this year is my last year.
sir jorge: Thank you so much for dropping by and leaving such a sweet comment!
iwan: Heya abang! Nice to see you around! Thanks for your compliment! Heh!
Michelle: No worries! It will be up really soon!
Grace: Yea, especially when you have dSLRs because most of them allow you to manually expose your photos instead of doing them in photoshop (some people see photoshopping images as cheating… wadever). Hmmm well as long as you have a copy of photoshop you can do your own multiple-exposed images! It’s actually pretty easy!
