Related: About this forumOkay, can someone please tell me what I did.
I've done in-camera double exposures before with film cameras, but not with digitals. I have no idea how I got this in-camera double exposure. No, I wasn't anywhere near a window. Although i had the camera set for multiple shots, that's not what I did here. These are two distinct sunflowers, and I had to move the camera (and me), refocus and shoot so they were not shot in quick succession.

(20,886 posts)It's called, duh, multiple exposure. I was mucking around trying to set the camera to black and white to shoot photos for a yoga book and must have turned this setting on somehow.
The black and white, by the way, was a bust. Yeah, it showed B&W in the viewer and the thumbnails, but (because I was shooting RAW, I guess) when I imported into Photoshop they imported in color. So much for saving a step in the processing.

I really like that image.

(10,136 posts)There are lots of settings in raw files that third-party software, including all the Adobe software, does not read. The b&w flag in the raw file is just that, a flag. The picture image in the raw file is always color. However, the imbedded JPG will have all the camera settings baked into it.
One advantage to using the b&w setting on the camera is that you get a good idea of what the image will look like in b&w immediately so that you can adjust any exposure settings as needed during the shoot.
One down side to the camera's b&w conversion is that it is normally a poor conversion. You will get much better results when doing the conversion in your post-processing.

(20,886 posts)Being able to see the exposure in B&W was a plus. I had hoped to save the work of converting over 300 photos, though. But, it wasn't too bad. I set up a batch script and watched a movie on my iPad while I processed 8 at a time.

(130,973 posts)but reminds me of a 'great' one I did about 27 years ago. Old, great Nikon SLR.\
Visiting my folks in Florida with 10-11 month old daughter. She took her first steps, I shot some pics, and continued during the visit. Brought roll home to develop and WTH, we said???!!! Clearly a 'hardware' or mechanical problem: EVERY shot I took on that roll was developed IN A SINGLE FRAME!!! 27x exposure! Can still spend HOURS studying that one 'pic,' and discovering new shots each time!
Thanks for the memory!!!

All kidding aside, I think you figured out, as I read this thread, what happened. Experiment with it!
