Dang! This is probably the best tutorial I've seen on multiple exposures with the Mark III. Going out to try it now.

Your double exposure photo is just so great it inspired my to get a camera. I had a film camera 20 years ago, but I’m paralyzed shoulders down. I can move my arms a bit, can’t use hands. I just got so frustrated. All the cost in film, and few turned out. I can’t aim fast or often can’t get in good position. It may be slow, but I can do this. So I just got a new camera. Thanks You So Much, I’d love to send you copies of my first few attempts.

I want to double thank you for this. You have opened my eyes to a whole new world. I never knew this was on my camera (canon 6D). Now this is all I think about doing. Thanks for the tips. You explained it wonderfully.

While doing it in post is more flexible and more controlling, I just doesn't quite capture the raw capture of doing it manually in camera like how you showed us. Thank you so much for this simple and brief tutorial on how to do it on a 5D Mark III. Informative, simple explanation, and right to the point. Excellent!

Thanks for a short, clear, but informative tutorial! Just got the 7dM2 yesterday and am looking forward to spending some time with it.

Is liveview a pretty standard feature when it comes to cameras with double exposure? I'm looking at the K-50 but feel like the liveview on your canon is a necessary feature for the best shots

Thanks, this was an excellent step by step.  I just purchased a Canon 7D Mark II and couldn't figure out how to do an "in camera" double exposure.  The first one came out great and looking to do more.   You explained it well and the examples were very helpful.

Love, love these images. I've been admiring them for months and I've just purchased a 5D Mark III to try my hand at this. Haven't shot double exposure in camera since my last film camera with a manual advance. I'm excited and very much looking forward to this.

your photos are great SaraK. I really like the one in your slideshow at the beginning with the groomsmen and bridesmaids! Thank you for the tutorial.

Thanks for this. I am in love with the effect and happy that Canon put this in the 6D if a little stripped down.

This is amazing and inspirational!  I don't have a Mark III yet, but when I do, I am definitely going to try this technique!!! Love, love it!  Thanks for sharing your beautiful images with us!

[nancyalford]

Thankyou Sarah,  I really love that type of photography and your tutorial made it look so easy.  I must now upgrade my camera to a 5d.

This is a SUPER HELPFUL tutorial, thanks for taking the time, and offering really useful examples 🤩👍

[Ohhhsopeachy]

This helped me out a lot! I ended up finding out that my camera has this feature which I was sooo crazy excited about ! Thank you!

[TurTheBull]

Absolutely brilliant. Your photos blew me away and I've attempted to do the same today with very exciting results. Thank you so much for the awesome tutorial, and keep on taking awesome images. :D (for the record, I did this with my Fujifilm X T1.)

Thank you so much for the video Sarah. 🌹🌹The possibles are endless on how creative you want to be.

This is great. Had no idea my Mark III could do this...can't wait to try it out. Thanks!

Hi Sara, I have the Canon 5D mark3 and I have been practicing with double exposures. I am over exposing using the exposure compensation to blow out the background for the first image but I am unsure whether or not I am supposed to underexpose prior to taking the second image. I would really appreciate it if you wouldn't mind pointing me in the right direction as to the settings. I am using additive as you mentioned in your video . Please can you help me! Regards Andy

[vividdreaming]

Fascinating, and imaginative.   Thank you, just discoverd my 70D does this too.  I'm off to create!
