Canon EOS 1D X And Multiple Exposures – An Olympic Showcase

Multiple Exposures means the ability to take a number of pictures all on the same frame.This functionality was tested at the London Olympics by Reuters photographer Mike Blake. His experience can be read on the Reuters Blog (with lots of images). What multiple exposure can do for you is best summarized in the following statement: “capture and combine sequences of images conveying the action and movement of disciplines such as gymnastics“. This is feasible since the 1D X can produce composite images combining multiple shots (the individual shots are also saved)
