Multiple Exposures

Konichiwa everybody!

I have bought an analogue camera which can take multiple exposures! I wanted to try it out and see the results, so I bought a film and went to a park to see what I could do with this exciting function. Before I proceed, I will explain what multiple exposure is. If you have a single frame of film, you exposure it two or more times to get several pictures overlaying each other.

To show what I got out of this, here is the results:

(This is Annette's head in a lake)

(This is a shot of the same lake as above but with 
leaves from a tree in the water)

(This bridge was closed but I placed Annette on it 
anyways, as a ghost)

(This is two different shots of the same flower)

(And here Annette is on another closed bridge as a ghost)

I like the last photo a lot, as it really looks like Annette is on the bridge and that the bridge is made of large boulders. In reality, the large boulders are from the pathway that Annette stood on when I took the photo of her to place her on the bridge. I am sorry about the blue tint in the photos and the heavy contrast. I need to find another type of film to use. I will do some research on which films to use plus I have Caspar's knowledge, as he has been shooting film himself.

This technique is FUN and I have already plans on how to use this feature for some hopefully awesome portrait photos. Imagine Caspar as a ghost in front of a guitar shop or Annette as a ghost in an anime shop or me as a ghost in a camera shop or the three of our faces on top of each other - SUGOI! (=awesome/cool).

Expect more of this coming.

Until then, take care!

Esben.
