When my dad was a kid, his school taught the class how to develop photos. They did it in groups. They had a set amount that they were allowed develop onto the photopaper. However, one lad in my dad's group started developing one more photo than they were allowed. This would've been a photo of himself. When they realised this was too many, he stopped early and pretended the paper hadn't been used. Another group in the class came in and used that same paper. They were horrified when the finished picture turned out with a partially visible, ghost like face in it, that they didn't realise was their classmate 😂
I have been doing digital photography for the last several years. I have also like the mechanics/engineering of Analogue cameras, and over the past 2 years started a small collection. This has now pulled me into the world of film, and I more of a film shooter artistically now, and my digital is more for videography or blogging/run and gun photos.
after ai takes over, physical mm film photography will be our last hope at true, genuine authentic realistic photos. please make a video about how to detect film tampering like how to tell if a roll or a film has been tampered with, like scratched, chemically altered or double exposed please.
I just recently got into photography. Double exposed pictures always fascinated me besides me having no idea how they were made :) I just bought a Fujifilm camera and accidentally put it in shooting mode "double exposure". At first I thought I broke the camera but then realized what was going on. Lets just say it was an epiphany. :D I want to learn more about photography but this is something different. The freedom of creativity with this seems endless to me. (I mostly enjoy pictures taken straight out of camera and don't like the idea of editing but thats just me so...) You showed some beautiful examples of this technique. Thank you :)
I also have a Pentax MX, i absolutely love this camera and I’m waiting on my double exposures to be returned from the lab now - i love the delayed gratification as well, i basically get to imagine that I’m an artist and that my shots worked. I think its somewhat helped calm me down as i feel like I’ve never found my perfect artistic outlet, but with this I’m very content
I had an a1 for like a week but it had a problem where the battery would drain in a day. That's actually the reason I have a pentax mx now, I took the a1 back to the shop and the owner let me pick an alternative camera to trade in the a1. Had the a1 actually worked it seemed like a great cam as well.
Thanks making the video about this! Also the Louis Dazy interview was a great read. Feel a little more confident after hearing the tips from your video & interview to try this out myself. My random/broken thoughts below about ideas, feel free to ignore lol. -Bts/pov of shooting/b-roll clips/photowalks -Breakdowns of your photos as you create them (feelings, what you like/don't like, why you selected it, why you edited it a certain way) -Breakdowns of locations you visit (Why you wanted to go there, how it relates to your photography) -Other work that inspires/interests you, maybe interviews (What you like about them, the feeling, how you would like to incorporate it into your own creation) -Film specific videos. Really enjoyed your ektachrome e100 video. Not many people do "moody" shot film videos on youtube I feel. Alot of over exposed portra & bnw things but haven't really seen anything like your ektachrome/lomo video other then maybe some Anderson Wes style film photographers trying out cinestill once or twice. -Talking about long term gear can also be useful. Talking about how you use your gear is even more useful :) But yea good stuff man, your videos & photos keep improving/going up in quality, keep it up!
Nice intro into double exp. Double exposure has a few different applications. It can juxtapose different subjects in a spontaneous, overlapping way that is sometimes successful, sometimes not. For us commercial guys and gals, double exposure was a bit more planned. The best double exposure photogs I ever saw were Rick Walstrom and Charly Franklin. Rick worked in 4x5 and 8x10 Ektachrome with a Sinar Norma, and Charly worked in 35mm Kodachrome with a pin registered Nikon. Regardless, in either fine art or commercial art, dark areas in your scene can be advantageous for double exposure if you're looking for relative clarity between two images.
Thank you for this! I really love your style and how you do your technique as well because often a lot of people that do double exposure photos look a bit cheesy and cliche. Your way feels a lot more real! 😭
The Petri/Yashica cameras can also perform the Double Exposures as well. or any old 35mm cameras has the mechanical button to stop the winding for new exposure.
Another Nikon SLR with builtin support for double exposures would be the FM2 ... and a more affordable option which delivers really great picture quality would be the Konica Autoreflex T3 with the superb Hexanon AR lenses
Gorgeous video, thank you for sharing! Just recently got a used Canon EOS 1N and am very excited (nervous/anxious!) to try shoot a couple rolls of film and double-expose them.
Bro thats actually wild, i have the exact same MX. I recently shot a whole roll of 36exp colour pro at a festival and found that it only shot 2 slides before it rolled off. Hence, here i am checking in. Ive shot a few good live music doubles using the stage lights and drawing with them, but not very consistent. ALSO THE OVERLAPPING FRAME ISSUE! Thankyou Really great vid
Nice video, I've always thought double exposures were just Photoshop voodoo which I'm not very interested in (film appeals to me because of the lack of digital editing you can pull off) now I can't wait to experiment, I want to clash the local countryside views with the city. Can't wait to experiment.
I notice that all the example photos are strictly evening or night photos. Is it a coincidence or do you usually go for the dark light situation with the double exposures photos?
Hello, what do you mean by pointing at something that’ll give you an “incorrect reading”? How does that translate to the light meter? I’m still learning. Do you mean point somewhere, where the needle on the meter won’t exactly be in the center, but closer to the minus within the meter? (I hope that makes sense😅) Also, do the shots on the frame that you’re double exposing basically both need to be different apertures? But also not identical & both slightly underexposed?
Nice vid bro! I've been wanting to experiment with double exposures on my Olympus for a while. Have you ever tried creating multi exposures on your Pentax?
Kiitos, Teemu. I have tried to do this but I over exposed a bit, it kinda worked but it was just a poor picture. I'll see what I can do with finnish forests and portraits. (British expat in Finland 😄)
im trying to double exposure a roll with my white cats on it. i’m kinda scared my cats disappear on the picture cause they’re white 🤔 the first roll was a big fail sadly but now i’m taking pictures of the cats with a black background
Thanks for the video, the photos were amazing! I just got a Pentax k1000 last week to learn how to shoot film and I’m having trouble with double exposures, the photos end up being cropped in half (one half first exposure, other half second exposure) instead of overlaying each other. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, maybe I’m not winding the film completely?
Ensure the film is totally "tight" before taking the shot, if its a bit loose that may happen - then with pentax it seems you have to take an empty frame after each double exposure. When I forget, sometimes had the same problem.
@@teemu.mp4 this happened to me as well - same camera. Film actually came loose I only realized when it kept advancing past 36 so I fixed it in the dark but lost like 10 shots and like had 1 shot with 10 exposures over it by accident lol.
@@lography6917 innovative 10-exposure! With double expos it'll go past 36 anyway even if you do everything right because the camera isn't smart enough to know you're doing doubles every time the lever is advanced. So that itself won't be a reason to panic. But yeah, tightened film + empty frames after doubles should fix it.
@@teemu.mp4 cant this also be done by setting the iso double on the camera of the whatever film iso you have and then metering normally? Just asking im really new to photography but it seems easier that way to me thank you for your response
Really helpful thanks, you got any tips on how to make good photos in smaller (boring) cities? Because of your recommendation I just got the a7ii with 50mm but i dont seem to find cool locations (or at elast thats what i tell myself).
In the lomo800 video a few months back I'm in a tiny city, maybe check that. But basically it all boils down to finding good light and elements, that's the key to good photos anywhere when you cant rely on a location.

The Nikon FM2 has a double exposure lever on the winder it's fully mechanical and honestly a great slr

This was so good!
Thanks very much
Two other Nikons which support double exposure very easily are the FE2 and I think, the FE.
MX is a great and simple camera. Thanks for the video!

Awesome video, man. Very helpful. Stoked to experiment. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Do you underexpose the first photo and then on or meter the first photo normal and underexpose the second?
I notice that all the example photos are strictly evening or night photos. Is it a coincidence or do you usually go for the dark light situation with the double exposures photos?
That's just my shooting style in general haha
Did you use a flash for the nighttime shots? They look amazing ❤️
Mostly a led light, you could use a flash too
That's really interesting! Love your vids :)
Appreciate it!
Does the order in which you take the shots matter?
Hello, what do you mean by pointing at something that’ll give you an “incorrect reading”? How does that translate to the light meter? I’m still learning. Do you mean point somewhere, where the needle on the meter won’t exactly be in the center, but closer to the minus within the meter? (I hope that makes sense😅)
Also, do the shots on the frame that you’re double exposing basically both need to be different apertures? But also not identical & both slightly underexposed?
if you're shooting at box speed can't you simply stop down the iso for the two shots so that metering is correct and the exposure is normal?
whats the best asa roll for taking that night time photo?. i love the colors.
Nice vid bro! I've been wanting to experiment with double exposures on my Olympus for a while. Have you ever tried creating multi exposures on your Pentax?
I love the pic @25sec. Was that double exposed? Great looking model too.
What film did you use for the night-time portraits with the red lights? Currently using ColorPlus 200 and I'm unsure if the ISO is enough
Lowest I've used is pushing 400 speed film 1 stop, works decent for double exposures. 800 is easier. 200 might be tough depending on lens.
What lighting you use for the portrait shot?
Just a led
I did enjoy the pun
Kiitos, Teemu. I have tried to do this but I over exposed a bit, it kinda worked but it was just a poor picture. I'll see what I can do with finnish forests and portraits. (British expat in Finland 😄)
Haha yeah takes a lot of trial and error, even after many rolls half of my attemps dont turn out
@@teemu.mp4 I'll keep that in mind and keep trying 👍
Can do double exposure with a yashica t4?
Sure, if the Yashica has the reset button to stop the winding for new expose.
IF you shoot the whole roll twice do you think you need to skip exposures?
I have a Pentax Super Program, so to do this I have to hold down the rewind button and rewind crank at the same time while I pull the wind lever?
I would believe so
Great content
which film you are using?
so goooooooood
What camera are you using?
Watch the video lol

How's the MX to shoot with?
It's alright nothing special
do you use a tripod when taking shots of the neon signs and your night shots in general?
Neon signs are bright so no, otherwise, depends how dark it is and if I'm lazy, but usually never using a tripod
Dope♥️
