Double exposure using a 35mm film camera.

I did another experiment called Double exposure.
This consists of loading a 35mm film into a SLR film camera 
There is then two different ways of double exposing it. Firstly you could and taking a series of photos and rewind the film back to the first frame and take the same amount of photos on the same film. However this is risky and leaves you unsure if you have rewound the film to much or not enough as the exposure counter will not always decrease.

The other way of doing this is to take one photograph at a time and after each photograph hold down the rewind button and flick the advance leaver this will not move on the film as when the button is pressed it does not grip the film inside the camera but it will allow you to take another photograph. When you have take both picture on the same frame you can use the advanced leaver normally to move onto the next photograph.

I did the first method to double exposure. However this did not work effectively and only a few images come out double exposed because the second exposures were not lined up correctly but using this method there is no way you can guarantee that this method will work as you can not expose the film to light.

Here are a few examples of other photographers double exposures.
