It’s a lot to remember so you may want to take notes of the images you shotįor the best double exposures, we suggest using black & white or color negative film as they have good exposure latitude which means they handle over-exposure well, making metering much less intimidating. Also, keep your first set of images in mind. This will let you know that you shouldn’t pull your film beyond this line when you reload the film for the second pass. Use a marker to mark the film’s position at the mouth of the cartridge. The only trick with this technique is being careful to align your second set of frames.
Reload it into your camera for the second pass.Pull the leader when the roll is finished.Load and shoot a roll of film as you normally would for your first pass.If your camera does not have a multiple exposure setting, you’ll shoot the entire roll (first pass), Unsure if your camera can shoot double exposures? Do a quick Google or YouTube search on your camera’s specs and you should be able to find out quickly. To keep it simple, we recommend getting a camera that has a dedicated setting for multiple exposures.
