NEED some guidance on the task items?

Lines: Straight, curved, vertical, intersectional

Shapes: Circle, Square, Triangle, Rectangle Try it with a mutliple exposure, or as a framing tool

Colors: Your favorite, a complimentary color, contrasting colors

Blur/Panning: This is trial and error. Try different shutters/apertures until you can maintain sharpness through out the exposure or purposely blur.

Shooting in B&W: Change your picture style to Monochrome - *** Remember - if you shoot

JPEG - it cannot be changed.

Framing: use lines, trees, doors, walls, etc -

Turn the grid on - frame subjects on one of the lines or at the intersection of the boxes.

For settings - Try Tv (shutter priority), Av (aperture priority), or Manual mode. SERVO with continuous shooting & IS on - are all very handy tools to utilize!

Looking for additional ideas?

  • Take a burst of images and make them into a .gif

  • Create a self project - EX: I like to shoot abandoned shopping carts (it doesn’t have to make sense - you can just enjoy doing it)

  • Shoot only verticals

  • Shoot with only one lens

About Multiple Exposure

Multiple Exposure allows you to take between 2-9 images and merge them into one final photo. If you're camera has this feature - often times this is found in the RED Camera shooting menu.


When enabling you have two options.

Func/Ctrl aka Function Control: allows you to take more than one photo - separately. In between images - photos can be reviewed and menus can be navigated.

ContShtng aka Continuous Shooting: allows the capturing of a sequence that gets combined into one photo. Think sports/action movements across a scene.


Save Source imgs: When shooting in the Function Control option - You can choose to save each image captured individually or save only the result.


Continue Mult-exp:

1 shot only: multiple-exposure shooting will be canceled automatically once completed.

Continuously: multiple-exposure shooting continues until you turn it off.


Once enabled you have the option of selecting a control type. You will see Mutli-expos ctrl and get the options listed below. Depending on what camera you have - you make only have the first two.

Additive: The exposure of each single image captured is added together.

Make sure to underexpose each photo.

Exposure compensation setting guidelines by number of photos:

Two images: -I stop, three images:

-1.5 stops, four images: -2 stops

Average: Underexposing is done automatically to average the scene to the standard exposure.

Bright: Preserves the brighter parts of each image - so if you photograph a silhouette against a light background, only the dark silhouette will be filled in with elements from the added exposures.

Dark: Gives exposure priority to dark areas of an image so that they retain their exposure without increasing the brightness of highlight areas when they overlap.
