I have never done this before and was very keen to do all the work in camera. My camera allows me to work with a large number of exposures but to start I decided to work with two images (47-50 below) and then 51 -53 with three. Apart from the intent, I had no idea what to expect. It was strange to see previous shots in the viewfinder as I took the second and third image. I was keen to return home to see what, if anything I had captured, and whether I had managed to provide a sense of the ephemeral hiddenness of Skye – another worldliness, the mystery of the Island. Although I have more work to do on learning about how to capture and process these images here are a few examples of my efforts:

The images below were taken with a 50mm lens which in some ways was simpler to work with. I found it easier to see how the images were merging together as it was a duller morning and I didn’t use a tripod.

Using the multiple exposure capability allows me to use the camera as an aesthetic instrument to produce a unique image. It allows me to reflect how I see the scene – not every detail needs to be sharp – it is about a feeling – my experience.
I think this approach has some potential and I need to work on the idea more. I do not intend to produce a whole portfolio of multiple exposures but only to use them when they produce a real sense of how I experience the Loch, the reeds and the lilies.

Interesting effect : the duo set , especially 47 , are more dreamy and rich and Monet 🙂 than the trios , which surprised me as a novice in photography. A strange outcome in 50: not tranquil
Can I ask how long elapsed between each frame in the duo collection and the trio sequence? Wondering whether it was the same time lapse for all.
I should have gone to the rowing regatta up north then out out this evening but changed my plans after seeing the weather forecast. I was in a crowded Portree getting gifts for upcoming birthdays. The wind was savage on my return home mid afternoon so decided against the evening sortie. I love the gleaming white of the waves tonight. Autumn is in the air here; I feel snug
Good luck

The elapsed time is simply how long it takes me to reframe, expose etc before taking the next shot. So, it depends on the effect I want and the technical changes I need to make. Just feeling my way at the moment so there will be more to come!
