026: Ghosts

My camera is able to take multiple exposures and compile them into one automatically, so I thought I’d try that out.

I’m not sure what I expected the result to be, but it wasn’t this! I think I thought the differences in the exposures (i.e., me) would be clearer and less ghostly, but now that I see how it works it makes sense that it would turn out this way. Although I’m not sure why it’s built into the camera— what would you use it for that you wouldn’t do in post to have a bit more control?
