The act of merging exposures inevitably increases the light exposure, overexposing and washing out the image if countermeasures are not taken.<\/p>\n
To counter this, embrace the darkness. Filming in very low light conditions, can normalize the final image's exposure level. Some of our photographers acheived fairly good results filming at night with little exterior lighting.<\/p>\n

Examples, Countering Overexposure Techniques<\/strong> Also consider your filter choices: Hipstamatic filters known for darkening an image include Tejas<\/strong>, John S<\/strong>, Wonder<\/strong> lenses; Float<\/strong>, Cano Cafenol<\/strong>, and W40<\/strong> films; and Jolly Rainbo 2x<\/strong>, Cadet Blue Gel<\/strong>, or DreamPop<\/strong> flashes. Filters that typically overexpose (such as Susie<\/strong>, Mabel<\/strong>, Bettie<\/strong>, or Adler<\/strong> lenses) will only compound the problem.<\/p>\n Overexposure can also be used to an advantage. For example, the black slogans of RTV SHOUT!<\/strong> can be easily lost against a composition with dark elements. Combining it with a white surface (wall, floor, etc) the image is lightened to make the slogan more discernable. This technique of an intervening blank exposure can also be used to brighten a subject in a dark environment.<\/p>\n ngg_shortcode_1_placeholder<\/p>\n Example, Using a Light Intervening Exposure for Legibility<\/strong> ngg_shortcode_2_placeholder<\/p>\n Example, Stationary Camera Technique<\/strong> Another interesting experiment done by Hipstamatic Sardinia's Simone Muresu<\/strong> uses a stationary camera to simulate High Dynamic Range (HDR) photographs. Exposing a dark baseline image 5, 10, even 30 times gave the illusion of intense lighting.<\/p>\n ngg_shortcode_3_placeholder<\/p>\n Example, Boosting Exposure in Very Low Light with Many Exposures<\/strong> ngg_shortcode_4_placeholder<\/p>\n Example, Boosting Exposure in Standard Light with Many Exposures<\/strong> Last chapter (tomorrow): Be creative<\/p>\n [button color=\"blue\" link=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Hipstamatic-New-England\/215153518534085\"]Hipstamatic New England[\/button]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The act of merging exposures inevitably increases the light exposure, overexposing and washing out the image if countermeasures are not taken.
