In the vein of the recent posts.... Here are two images that are both layered and long exposure. The camera is on a tripod with a wired remote to kick it off. The images are combined in camera. I haven't figured out how to do layering in software yet!
The first one is 25 images set on auto so they go off at regular intervals. It was mid day and sunny. The overexposure is what gives the moody, foggy feeling.
The second is the same set up but only 9 images.
For some reason Pentax only keeps the exif for the last image when combined in camera. I hope the changes in future models.
I am planning a photo trip at predawn / sunrise this weekend to try some long exposure in very low light. I think I might add a few layered ones. Tips welcome!
Ps - both were converted to black and white.

I really like what you have done here. By using Multiple Exposures in-camera (and use Average) you take away the need for ND filters.
Both of your photographs have very strong points and I'd have a hard time to choose between:
1. Admitting I like one over the other.
2. Donating my first born male child to you.
Okay, times up...2.
I laughed at loud at this. Thanks!
The first one seems awfully familiar - from a year or so ago? Of course, really cool.
It's great to see you experimenting again Ruth, the results give room for thought. I do like the fact that you are willing to ignore rules for the sake of creativity.
One thought I have on in-camera ME over processing as layers as layers. Importing a number of exposures into an application like Photoshop allows more control over what is applied and to what extent.
That makes the results of in-camera ME even more impressive but is something worth understanding.
It seems like a lot of air on the left side so I decided to see what it's like without it.
Nice shots Ruth, I am drawn to the first, it appears bolder but ethereal and the run out to infinity really draws the eye.
