With the camera I used here it offers a feature that allows the single frame to be exposed multiple times (up to nine times for a single exposure). First you put the camera in that mode and select the shooting setting. For this I used bulb and each frame was about 5 seconds with 5 frames selected. When you have taken the 5 frame sequence, the camera stores each frame in the buffer. It looks at all 5 and does an exposure balance of them when they are combined. So you get a shot that is not blown out or over exposed. It can be done on film with the lens cap or on a manual camera. Push the film button in and wind the film, advancing the shutter but not the film. Tougher to evaluate the exposures this way but it works. That night, I took about 40 shots and did a series of individual frames. With the idea of layering them in Photoshop. But the camera did a better job than the software. A more detailed explaination of this will come as an article in future. Thanks for the comments everyone,

When I first saw this posted in pentaxforums, I never put my eyes off this excellent image! The overlay mode is tough when you try to do 6 or 7 images together. So well done! Random photo of the day? I do not believe this is a work of random nature! Peter, this image is simply stunning. When I first saw this posted in pentaxforums, I never put my eyes off this excellent image!

Random photo of the day? I do not believe this is a work of random nature!

Don't need film to do multiple exposures. If camera has bulb setting you can even play around by exposing one frame, cover the lense and then expose another and so forth. This can be done on film cameras too if the camera doesn't allow for double exposing. By long exposure, bulb setting I believe.

How did he combine multiple exposures in-camera? Film? That is truly spectacular!
