Double exposure
Just as I seem to be able to cause light leaks through mind power, I’m also able to cause double exposures. This picture was taken with my Wester Autorol and even though it has a frame advance that “should” prevent double exposure it was no match for my powers. OK what likely happened is that I forgot whether I had advanced the film or not and cocked the shutter again and the mechanism that is supposed to prevent the double exposure is simply over riden by knocking the small lever at the back which could happen in my camera bag or by me thinking I had already advanced the film. Two frames wasted, or not, as I sort of like the effect that happened on the body of the car. Other images didn’t pan out quite as I had hoped either one has some camera shake despite my use of a support, I blame that one on the security guard shouting at me (that’s loudly yelling not shooting). Several others overlap at the edges but there are also images that did turn out thankfully and I am quite pleased with them.
I should also mention that when I use cameras like this I don’t mind the errors and accidents as I’m having fun, which is when photography is the best, oh and I most often have a digital camera with me too.
While I’m on the subject of double exposures I need to try out the Canon Sure Shot Tele from 1986 which actually has a provision for purposefully doing them. It also has a built in soft focus filter, oh man I can just see the acid wash jeans and big hair already.
