Doubles Experiment

Ever heard of multiple exposures?  Well I hadn't really until few months ago when I came across Lomography.  With digital cameras you can't really achieve this however with film its another story.  So multiple exposures is where you can take a picture on top of each other.  You can do a double exposure, or even 3, 4 is probably the max you want to do before the photo becomes complicated.

With some Lomography cameras you won't be able to do this, others you can click away before winding the film on.

One thing you can do is take a picture, turn the camera upside down and take the picture again, like the one above and the one below.

Another option to try is to load a film in one camera, take pictures on the roll, rewind the film, ensuring you don't rewind the full film back into the canister, otherwise it won't work and then load it in another camera and shoot again.  So this is what I did, I loaded the film in a Diana F+, took pictures of London and the loaded the film into a LC-A+ and shot pictures at home.  Some of my results (took me time to figure out what I took!).

The first picture was taken up the tube escalators and the second was a shot of a self reflection.

A scene of Tower Bridge and then me and Sin.  Can you see Tower Bridge by my ear?

And some didn't turn out well, one picture just didn't come through: -

The Experiment, Speed Doubles

So whilst we were at the Carters Steam Fair two weeks ago and about to go, we were asked to pair up as we were about to take part in a 5 minute challenge.  I paired up with Becky and we were given an Action Sampler, loaded with Redscale film.

For those that don't know, Redscale film is normal film but loaded the other way round in the canister.  When you normally shoot film, you shoot on the glossy side, in the Redscale film, its the other side...something I learnt only a few weeks ago, anyway back to our experiment.

So we had 5 minutes to go round the fair, run, walk, do whatever we needed to shoot 36 photos.  So Becky and I just shot randomly, hoping for the best really.  Back we went after 5 minutes, the film was rewinded back, just enough that the last bit didn't go back into the canister.  The film then went into one of these....

The Fisheye 2!  So off we went again with 5 minutes on our clocks!

Now some turned out ok, some not, here some of the results: -
