Beach Tower Moonlit
Uploaded: May 30, 2003 00:22:17
Taken with OM-10 and Kodak E100vs slide film. This is exactly how I shot the image as a multi ple exposure. The image of the moon was shot with a Sigma 400mm f5.8 at 1/125sec f5.6 and the scene was shot at 7mins at f11. I am not sure if it was worth me standing in the frame for that long or if it would be better without me in the image!

Need to add that the scene was shot with a Sigma 28mm f2.8 and not the 400mm.Karen Seargeant May 26, 2019
I think the image is great with you in it. Gives a different reflection on it. Like wondering what 'that guy' was thinking about as he stood there. Great job! #105602Lea A. Mulqueen May 26, 2019
I really like this image. As for you in it...I think you're too far over to have much impact one way or the other. I would like to have seen you about 1/3 in from the left, between 2 of the lights. But, with, or without you...it's a super image! #105630Shirley L. Carpenter May 26, 2019
A Very Beautiful image Adam..... #105667Viveca Venegas May 26, 2019

Very nice double exposure, Adam. I like it just as it is. #105835Adam Bolt May 26, 2019
Thankyou to everyones comments. I had fun experimenting with this technique and now that I know what exposures work well, ita knowledge that I will put into practice for some later images. And Murry G, I just visited your gallery (Havent seen your work before... been off line for sometime). Your standard of imagery is something to work towards!Carolyn M. Fletcher May 26, 2019
Congrats, Adam!! Well deserved!! #112914Mette Vendelboe Allison May 26, 2019

Wonderful - Congrats! :-) #114520Ryan Chai March 12, 2004
What was your meter reading for the seperate scenes? Did you deviate from what your camera said? Great shot!I am going to try something like this in southern Utah next weekend and was just wondering how to go about doing it.
Thanks #420751

Hi Ryan!... What you see here is what the slide looks like. Its a very simple technique but requires a little prep work. Two exposures were taken on the one frame of Fuji Sensia 100 iso film (Multiple exposure). The first exposure was for the moon. I set the camera manually for 1/125 sec at f5.6 on my Sigma 400mm lens... framed the moon in the viewfinder to the top left (Being very careful to focus manually on the moon and make sure there is room around the edge for cropping later). The second exposure was taken using my Sigma 28mm f2.8 wide angle lens set at f11. The camera was tripped and locked on the bulb setting with a cable release and I moved to the right of the frame. Because of the long exposure I was taking, I also knew that I wouldnt be seen in the picture moving to that position. Took a timer with me and stood in the one position for 8 min and then moved out of frame again and disengaged the cable release to stop the exposure. Only other thing to do then is to advance the frame in the camera so that no more exposures are taken on that frame... and thats it! Simple technique but takes time!!!Mette Vendelboe Allison March 20, 2004
Congrats and good luck once again, Adam! #436524James E. Coleman October 20, 2005

Someone left me a message in regards to how this was shot and what camera would be best and also if they could purchase a print. I've just swapped computers and the details to contact this person were lost. If that person reads this message, could they please send me another message.Regards Adam #2156821
