There are two photos in the current challenge that I have a question about. These are:

Let there Be Light
My Untimely Transition

I am just curious as to how this type of shot is done. I'm unfamiliar with the camera mode that allows this. These look more like a multiple exposure scenario than long exposure.

I liked both of these photos and I have no complaints with either... I'm just curious as to how they are done. If someone could share that information with me I would appreciate it!

jm, if you look at my 'self portrait' it's a similar deal. Long exposure, but you make a point of pausing at the parts that you want to record more 'strongly'. Ie. move quick to new position, then pause, move to new position, pause, etc. The slower you move, the more blur between individual poses.

Although I've never done it, I would try covering the lens with a black cloth between states to remove motion blur. So start the exposure, half way through throw a black cloth in front of your camera and tell the subject to move, then take the black cloth out of the way again.

You can also use a strobe light to make the transistions more distinct. Each flash of the strobe is a new sub-exposure.
