(Olympus XA, Fuji Sensia 200 cross-processed)
Early last year, I started taking photos with some film that I meant to double-expose. In my quest to get images that were as amazing and whimsical as these, I was super picky about what I shot (so silly!) and as a result it took me a year just to finish the roll.
The upside of me being such a slow-poke is that this roll accompanied me on my travels to Malaysia, Vietnam and Korea. It was fun trying to spot the bits that were taken at each location.
My conclusion: double-exposures taken using the method I chose (take photos, wind film back into canister, take more photos) can't be planned, so it's best to just snap away with abandon. I'll probably stick to regular photography for the most part, because I like having some control over the pictures I take, but I'll definitely try this again some time.
P.S. more double-exposure photos can be found here, if you're interested.
Wow. These are really beautiful photos!! I love em. You should do more of these!! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks! Haha, these are actually the nicer shots. Some of the others turned out quite meh, or even ugly :P
Deletenice pictures! double exposure sure is fun - but the tricky bit about film is you don't know if it's gonna come out well.
ReplyDeletetried my hand using the la sardina for a trip to Japan.. ended up I enjoyed the photos in my digital camera better :( ah well ;D
Thank you! Was it your first time using the La Sardina? Don't give up on it! Especially since it's such a cute camera, heh.
Deleteyes, first time. I've still got half a roll in the camera so maybe I should just spend a weekend and see what's to be captured on film in Singapore. those childhood animal playgrounds perhaps? :)
DeleteYes, you should :) sometimes, it just takes a while for the camera to get used to you and vice versa.
