Submerged connections
Yesterday I went out and bought me Seculine Twin1 R4N IR remote for my D200. I still have an Infrared remote for my old D70s, but unfortunately the D200 doesn’t come with a built-in IR receiver. Unfortunately I didn’t have more than an hour to experiment with it yet, since I needed to pick up a friend from the railway station here in Frankfurt. On my way to the station I spent some time at the subway station at Willy Brand Platz, where I took this multi exposed shot.

Cool shot, spooky also. How does the remote work and does it have an advantage in this shot? Multi-exposure is something I definitely miss on my camera when I see this result!

I needed to simply plug in the IR receiver in a small socket on the front of the camera body. It comes with a remote that works up to 100meters. (Not that you ever want to be that far away from your camera).
For this shot I used my tripod. For multiple exposures to work for this shot, the camera needs to be in exactly the same spot when the exposures are done. If I would use the self-release-timer, I would certainly move the camera a tiny bit when pressing the on-camera release. So this is where the remote comes in handy.
If your camera doesn’t have this function you can of course imitate the effect by layering 2 or more photos in Photoshop. ;)

Nice shot and like the way you are discovering al the possibilities with your camera and your own creativity. When I have to give feedback I would say the walking people are a little to much ghost like in my opinion. The vignetting in the left bottom corner is disturbing me also.
Besides that, great shot!!
