Diptychs on film
Taking two pictures that go together is an added challenge that I enjoy. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. I tried this previously here Diptychs also using the Yashica Samurai because it’s half frame and runs the film vertically like a movie camera. This allows images to be stacked right on the negative. This is different from almost every other 35mm camera of course because their film runs horizontally through the camera.
As I wrote on a napkin previously you need to take the lower image first because of the way the film travels and the inversion of the image through the lens.
