Multiple Exposure Photography Transforms Burnt Trees

Photographer Adam Gibbs employs a deliberate, controlled multiple exposure technique using the Fujifilm GFX100S to transform burnt trees into abstract, painted-like landscapes. By making precise micro-adjustments with a geared head and utilizing in-camera blending modes, Gibbs captures overlapping exposures that build detail. This method is particularly effective in wildfire-scarred areas like Waterton National Park, where graphic patterns of burnt trees lend themselves well to the technique, even in less-than-ideal lighting conditions. A key consideration is that the GFX100S saves multiple exposures as JPEGs, though individual raw files are also retained.
