My tag challenges words were shoes + landscape. I thought I'd up the challenge a bit and try to learn multiple exposure (sadly, the day before the new Technique Challenge 81 was just posted for multiple exposure -- very exciting!). And here's the result, taken yesterday but delayed by the golden hour pier shots posted instead. I lined up the shoes at one of our neighbors who lives 'down the beach.' I love their long walkway over the dune grasses. The multiple exposure idea came from trying to create a shot that captured the shoes going for a walk but also provided the broader context of the bay. One shot was taken almost due west. The other taken looking northwest. I need to read more about multiple exposure but am having fun learning about it.
This is a great way to learn! I've done "tons" of these just to see what happens. Over time you begin to anticipate and imagine the results, and start picking new challenges and editing tweaks. Goal = life-long-learning!
Love the shoes along the walkway...reminds me of a Monty Python for some reason...
Very intriguing! It´s like echo of a path that once were there but is gone now, yeah I love this effect! I too have been meaning to try multible explosures....
@mikegifford Have you a way to tell what the first image is and overlay the second? Someone had told me 'live feed' but that doesn't seem to work on the Nikon I have. Thanks for the encouraging words!
@taffy I only know if I'm working with the source files/layers, and it can make a big difference which is on top and the different blending used for the layers below, and if you stack multiple layers of the same layer. In addition, you can use a base background with a texture and that can also be used to effect the upper layers. I use Photoshop for multiple exposure processing, and it can make a big difference in appearance using different blending modes for the layers.
@mikegifford I was doing this in camera shooting two images in layers. It sounds like your suggestions are for layering out of camera. I do have OneLayer plug-in but haved learned it yer.
@taffy Yes, I'm mentioning out-of-camera editing. In camera I'm not sure what technique is being used and if there is priority to the layering order in which the images are captured. This is something I'll try to check-out. I'll let you know if I find out anything.
@mikegifford Wow Mike -- thank you so much!! I've just been playing around with in-camera layering that was described and put on in flickr. It's not good enough to post, but I wanted to keep a record of my first one. If you're curious at what you started, here's the link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/taffyraphael/9670750597/
@mikegifford Exactly! It's the fountain I've featured in a few other photos, around the corner from where we live. I pass it each day. Then the buildings were from the courtyard in front of the college I work in, also passed each day and featured in some other shots. I was thinking of the word of the day, rain, from a few days ago when I was fiddling with this. Now that I know two ways to create a multiple exposure -- both in camera, though different in when I have to decide what to layer, I'm going to have fun experimenting! Thanks so much for introducing me to something that was on my own camera and I'd missed totally!
I have looked at my manual Taffy and can't see that I can do this. | love how you can produce a shot like this in camera. It's funny as I was reading about this process last week. Great shot!

Here is a list of blend modes from Adobe: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/WSfd1234e1c4b69f30ea53e41001031ab64-77eba.html
Here are two videos on three of the most popular blending modes - screen, multiply and overlay: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h52zINXfBCs&feature=related

I'm not sure if I answered your question or drifted a bit....
