It does remind me of an old epic with the spearmen marching in, Don. I don’t know if you did this in camera or in post, but the layering looks superb and the visual effect is very powerful.

Thanks, Dennis. This was done in camera.

Thanks, Don. I’ve never played within-camera double exposures. Maybe I should try it (if I can find it in the menu).

It’s worth getting to know, Dennis. It’s not my favorite technique because it’s too unpredictable but it’s a good tool to have available.
