Multiple Exposures on 35mm Films

Different films have different exposure latitudes, which means some will give a more faded look when exposed more than once. Films like Fuji 400h or Kodak Ultramax 400 have a huge latitude, and they can take more than five or six exposures at box speed, whereas Lomography 100 is a flatter film with less exposure latitude so exposing more than once creates a more watercolour, ghost-like feel.

**Multiple exposure on Lomography 100 35mm film – This film is very flat and I liked that it created a more watercolour feel.**

**Captured on Kodak Ultramax 400 – it has a large exposure latitude so I was able to expose at box speed several times.**

**Captured on Fuji 400h 35mm film I shot the scenery first, then I used a pink Hoya filter and shot the sky on the second exposure, blocking some of the image so the pink only hit the viewer-left half.**

Captured on Kodak TMAX 3200 – Despite the name, this film is actually between 800-1600 ISO and I rated it at box speed for this double exposure. I captured the water first, then the parliament buildings.

**Fuji Superia 200 35mm film – The first capture was a long-exposure, then I shot a frozen scene on the second click. Both captures were at box speed.**

**Kodak TMAX 3200 film – I shot the Queen Elizabeth statue first, exposing for the sky, and then I shot the clouds at box speed**

Fuji 400h 35mm film – This film has a lot of latitude so I was able to take about five or six shots. I stayed in one place and tried to capture the same composition over and over again to create this trippy effect. I believe I shot all of these exposures at box speed.

You can see the difference between the pale Fuji 400h colours and the more vibrant Kodak Ultramax film. Kodak Ultramax also has a lot of latitude so I was able to take three or four exposures at box speed to create this image.

**Captured on Kodak Ultramax 400 – First I captured the lion (from a street poster) and then I captured the building.**

**Captured on Kodak Ultramax inside the Royal BC Museum. These exhibits were in tungsten lighting.**

**Captured on Kodak Ultramax 400. First, I captured the tree and exposed so I’d blow out the sky. Then I shot some grass at box speed.**

**Antigua, Guatemala. The first capture was an iconic pink wall, and the second was one of the beautiful ancient churches.**

**The first exposure was intentionally blurred, and the second was intentionally still. Shot on Fuji Superia 200 35mm film.**

**Exposed to create a silhouette of Derek and blow out the sky, and then I shot the cherry blossoms**
