Your technique is confusing me a bit . Is multiple long exposure photos stacked together ?

I have written and explained this technique many times in the past here.
It is a mode of the D850. It is activated through Multiple Exposure mode. It takes a series of 10 shots and you choose between some modes on how to output the final file. You can also select to keep the 10 files or keep only the final file (the 11th) The final file if you choose the AVG mode is the result of stacking the 10 files. If they are long exposed the effect is a sum of the total time of exposure of the 10 files. Noise is also cancelled out.
This is better because the sensor doesn't overheat (due to exposures until 30'') so you avoid hot pixels which are extremely hard to remove if they are many.
Multiple long exposure shots that are stacked (usually in post processing) is a very classic technique.
Multiple exposure and image stacking is used in still life commercial photography of products to achieve great results with no noise.

Edit.
By the way thank you for the comment Jack!

Thanks for explaining this panos_adgr . While love learning, didn't had a chance to try something you do. I think I can try taking multiple long exposure images and stack them together. But the question is, couple of images taken with the same settings, will be getting the same results, means stacking them, might be useless?

For product photography, I do agree. Taking multiple images, and then stack them together.

Try to find some tutorials in Youtube.
It is a technique with nice results. But you need many exposures. Not only two.
The intervals also have to be the smallest possible. Maximum 0.5 second. If more when you will stack them you will have step motion blur in elements such as clouds. The effect of many long exposures is equivalent with the total amount of of all of them wit a single exposure of the same time exposes. In example if you take 9 shots of 30" and stack them in Mean Mode in photoshop the result will be like taking one shot of 270" but you will not have hot pixels and almost no noise if you shoot at base iso.

Thanks panos_adgr

I will check this technique on YouTube. And hope to get some great results too.

Hi Jack!

Here is a simplified tutorial.
Have in mind that the guy in the video stacks a great number of non long exposure photos to achieve the result.
You can do it with a minimum of 5-6 long exposure photos and use the technique in the video.
Photos should be taken on a tripod and with the shortest possible interval between them. I take the photos using the shortest interval provided by my cameras which is 0,5''. I use self timer mode with 2'' delay release and 9 sequential photo setting. In my D850 I also use the multiple exposure average mode and do the technique in camera.

You can use this technique for other cases such as noise reduction.

Thanks a lot panos_adgr . Not sure if my old canon camera has same features as your. For setting up self timer mode.

Will need to check it out.

I think you can do it.

Thanks a lot panos_adgr . Just checked and seems I can do that on my 7D M2. I’ll have to test it.

Feel free to share more images when you have time 😃. Love quality images
