NOTE: Photo Challenges are meant to challenge our creativity and inspire us to move out of our comfort zone and into places we’ve never ventured. They are in no way a reflection of your ability. If someone else doesn’t see your vision, accept it and continue to learn and grow as a photographer at your own pace. Here are the Instructions On How To Enter Photo Challenges and our CCC Handbook for 2024-25 for Photo Challenge Standards, Guidelines and Procedures.

• Workshop – Bring your camera to the meeting and practice multiple exposures and In-Camera Movement.
Multiple Exposures photography is a technique where two or more exposures of an object are taken then overlaying the photos on top of each other to create a unique photo. This overlaying of photos can be done in more recent cameras or done in post processing.
Many digital cameras have multiple exposure settings found in camera menu section. (Google to see if you have in-camera multiple exposure capability.)
Suggested Equipment: Camera with a 24-105mm range lens or a macro lens, a tripod, release cable and flash optional.
Please bring an object to photograph, it can be a toy, an onion a flower or flowers, an Xmas ornament, ribbons and bows.
You will need to find out where the settings are located in your camera. Below are a couple of videos that discuss Multiple Exposures and will help you find the settings in your camera. If you don’t have time to view the videos run through your camera menus and locate multiple exposures or consult your camera manual.
