Multiple Exposure
After writing my last post (forever ago, I know), my bad luck continued. Except this time, I didn't lose just one roll of film, I lost four. Yup, that's right, four rolls of beautiful slide film, that I completely underexposed, and so, got no results.
But, I did take some more digital double exposures!
So here're a few more photos of Danika!
Film has not been my friend lately.
Two weeks ago, I used bad chemicals to process my film so not a single image appeared on my roll. Ever since then, I've been extremely careful not to contaminate or over use the chemicals, but those weren't my problems this time.
I'm using my Holga camera to make double exposure images. Holgas are plastic medium format cameras that can create dreamlike images. They are super easy to use since they only have a few settings to choose from; there are two apertures: sunny and cloudy, and only one shutter speed.
For my double exposures, I wanted to layer photos of flowers over portraits. I bought some colourful flowers and spent yesterday afternoon in the studio with my BFF/model/super talented potter Danika. I was so excited today to process my film and see the results.
Unfortunately, things didn't exactly go as planned.
While attempting my multiple exposures, I accidentally overexposed my entire roll of film! All that was left was a spot that kind of looked like Nova Scotia. Not flowers. Not Danika. Nova Scotia.
Even though my film didn't work out, I did get a couple cool photos while experimenting with the multiple exposure feature on my DSLR. Here they are!
