DOUBLE EXPOSURES II

March, 2022

so, this time i tried some double exposures on film with my canon f1. since the shutter on this camera cannot be released several times - like with the walzflex - this meant that i first had to expose the whole film once, wind it back, and then do the second exposure.

in order for this to work, i marked the position at the beginning when inserting the film, so that i could start again at the same position for the second exposure, hoping that the shots are then really on top of one another.

i chose ilford's hp5+ as a film. with an iso of 400, that meant that since there were two exposures on top of each other, i measured for an iso of 800 in both exposures.

for the first exposure, i chose different patterns like stones, bark, grass, leaves, etc. - i didn't write down which image had what pattern, which meant that for the second exposure - the portraits - i had no idea what had been exposed before. i definitely wanted the surprise effect.

and after developing, here are some of the results:

grass and lakeview

contrasting tree bark

wooden path, holding hands

white tulip and stones

walzflex and too many stones

stones again and cool posture

tulip and no idea what else

so, what do you think? for my first attempt in double exposures with a 35mm format camera i am quite happy!
