The only way you can do this in-camera without strobing is by ADDING, not AVERAGING the multiple exposures, and even then your daughter would be semitransparent. The degree of transparency would increase with the number or shots you were adding.
Rebekkah, the Flickr poster girl, did it with multiply photos stitched together in Photoshop. I have found that you need two things to accomplish this is you are shooting yourself: 1) Knowledge of Photoshop layers. 2) To not be fugly. I soon realised that while I could manage #1, #2 would kill me every time. No self-portrait multiplicity for me. --M. 2009/3/8 Cory Waters <[email protected]>: > I heard an interview on a podcast with this woman from Iceland: > http://www.rebekkagudleifs.com/ One of her series of photos that gained her > a lot of popularity is called Multiplicity.
