15 and 500

I wondered if it was possible to take an in-camera double exposure with two separate lenses. If it was possible, what about the first taken with a 15-35mm at 15mm and the second a 100-500mm taken at 500mm. What about only changing the shutter speed, keep the ISO and Apertures the same.

#1 ~ Sitting at my desk this was my first attempt to see in my camera could manage a double and switching lens.

#2 ~ My second is looking down our sidewalk at Guest Parking. I was attracted by the colors and lines.

#3 ~ I walked over to a field and was attracted by the grasses and daisies.

#4 ~ We have a Fir Grove in out little community and I discovered a "Monotropa uniflora" Ghost Plant (aka: Ghost Pipe and Indian Pipe). I watched the lighting and knew that mornings would be the best time for lighting.

#5 ~ This is a defuncted paper mill that has been in the process of being demolished. For the second shot I chose to focus un on the set of windows and then rotate the camera 90°.

I found this fund and challenging...especially changing lenses (one with a collar and one without).

I also tried 5 exposures with my 100-500mm with increments of 100mm (100mm, 200mm, 300mm, 400mm, and 500mm). I found this easier to take as, obviously not having to fumble around changing lenses has its advantages. Those will be posted later.

nice , excellent perspectives , thanks for sharing

This is an interesting experiment, Dean. All are great, but #4 is my favorite. So my first thought is ... I was always told NEVER to take a lens off my camera while it's turned on. What's the verdict on that because I'm assuming you had to do that for these photos. Looking forward to seeing the other ones you'll be posting (incremental ones).

Thank you for the feedback.

I have not had any issue regarding changing lenses while the camera was powered up. My concern was the sensor collecting dust or something larger! I did practice safe protocols (as much as possible).

I often change lenses in the wild, but usually the camera is turned off...allowing the curtain to close and protect the sensor.

Very interesting experiment indeed. Never tried doing double exposures in camera before. Not even sure if my camera is capable but I'll check.
