Charles C Deam Wilderness Fall 2024

The Charles C Deam Wilderness is southeast of Bloomington, Indiana and less than an hours drive via back roads from the cabin in which my wife and were staying for several weeks in the fall of 2024. I drove to the parking lot with the old fire lookout tower, where a trail into the wilderness begins, early one morning for a fall photo hike into the forest.

Multiple Exposure Fall – Part 4

This is the final portion of my fall photography using in camera multiple exposure.

Multiple Exposure Fall – Part 3

This is a continuation of my fall photography, using in camera multiple exposures.

“Hole in Log” surprised me. There was a leaf in a hole in an old log, which I photographed, then placed a leaf over that hole and photographed it. I expected to see at least part of the leaf in the hole showing through in the multiple exposure, but the blackness of the hole resulted in the pixels in the leaf over the hole taking precedence, resulting in a shape in the covering leaf in the shape of the hole.

Multiple Exposure Fall – Part 2

This is a continuation of my initial experimentation with in-camera multiple-exposure images.

Multiple Exposure Fall – Part 1

In addition to experimentation with a fisheye lens this fall, I also dabbled with in camera multiple exposure techniques, which offers many possibilities. My results were mixed, ranging from images that I liked to those that were total failures. It appears that I have much to learn about this photographic technique and I will continue working this.

I used only two images and an average of the pixels for all of these images, as that seemed to be a reasonable and simple starting point. More images can be used and there are other options of how the images are combined in camera.

In this series, I will share the images that I think worthy, even if some are not so appealing.

Before I ventured out for an intensive photo shoot, I began by making simple images around our cabin.

I began with the simplest of images, such as the one above with horizontal and vertical images.

Then I began to incorporate ICM (intentional Camera Movement) in at least one of the images.

Sometimes, I just moved the camera a little between shots, to get such images as Multiplying Leaves and Picasso Forest.

Another technique is to shoot the same scene with the first shot a simple, sharply focused image, then completely defocusing the image to a complete blur for the second image. I had most difficulty with this method, but still got a few good images.
