Experimenting with double exposures...

Sometimes I take things too seriously ~~alot~~, especially taking photos and I tend to avoid double exposures... I always worry that I'll ruin a perfectly good photo by covering it with something rubbish. However I really needed to finish the film off in my Holga - it was in the camera for about 5 months I think - so I decided to play around with it a bit whilst I finished the roll around Leeds. What I didn't realise was that I'd put a 36 exposure film in, not the 24 I thought I was using - so I got more double exposures than I expected. Oops.

Location: Leeds
Camera: Holga 135bc
Film: I think it was a lomography colour negative iso 100.

Labels: double exposure, holga 135bc, I love leeds

Just did doubles with another photographer and it is just interesting to see how the pictures turn out. And if I'm going somewhere I really want to have pictures from. I just bring two camera's ;); 6 June 2011 at 19:03
