5D MKIII Multiple Exposure – Sara K Byrne

Jim — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 00:27:00 +0000

Sara K Byrne is a wedding photographer who has come up with a fantastic video tutorial on creative use of the new multiple exposure feature on the Canon 5D MKIII.

Double exposure is a technique that originated with film photography where you would expose the same frame of film twice (or more). Film can only be exposed to light so much before it will stop recording information. So the part of the film that was darker after first exposure will be most receptive to the light from the second click. It’s typically good to underexpose both photos, because you are exposing the “film” or “sensor” to light twice.

Recently one of our viewers asked for information about focusing options for the new Canon 5D MKIII. I have this camera myself and it contains the same focus electronics as its big brother, the Canon 1Dx. It simply lacks the additional processing chip, but has a complex range of focus options that can be selected for most any given photographic situation. This video demonstrates one groups opinions on optimizing the focus selections.

This is episode six of our geeking out on gear series. This time we discuss the Canon 5D Mark III (3) Auto Focusing Options and Point Selections.

Feel free to ask questions here – everything in the video is simply from our own impressions & opinions.

This video was recorded with a 5d3.
