Multiple exposures in/out of camera

I was at the beach today and planned to stay until after sunset to get some long exposures. It was bloody cold and we didn't want to hang around that long. So I resorted to the in-camera multiple exposures. This one has two sets of 9 exposures combined in Photoshop. Not quite as smooth as a 30 s exposure but good enough for government work I would say...

K20D, smc DA* 16-50 mm / 2,8 ED AL [IF] SDM, (1/8 s), A22, ISO 100.

There's also some post processing gone into the final image, of course.

Tut! Tut! Is it me or have you not corrected the lens distortion on the horizon

Just kidding Prieni its a very nice shot and the distortion hardly shows, the colours are really nice.

Its a very useful feature this mutiple exposure. It is useful for me underground, however when I tried it I set it to 9 exposures but only got about 3 on the final image.....
Does anybody know if there is any kind of time limit between exposures or anything that will reset it before actually exposing 9 times?

But did you get one shot exposed three times and then six single exposures? because the shutter should have fired 9 times, if not then you must have had it on three exposures by mistake.

Pretty sure thats what I got. I will have to spend some time experimenting with it

No kidding, you are right
This was the first quick try with overlaying two 9-exposure shots. I wasn't quite sure how they line up and thought I could do the distortion correction in PS.
However, when it came to that point I was too lazy to get into PTLens again and decided I would correct the two shots in SilkyPix and do it again later.
So I did notice the distortion in SilkyPix already, which is not surprising with something like a horizon in the pic it is easily noticeable...

Thanks for your comments.

I don't know if there is a limit between exposures. I would have thought that switching the camera off would reset the feature but I haven't tried so far.

Well I have done a couple of testshots and the Multiple exposure didnt time out. Must have been my error working in the dark.

Nice picture by the way
