Multiple Exposure

Multiple exposures are interesting. My fully manual Pentax K1000 wasn’t advancing the film all the way, but each time I moved the feed lever it advanced a slightly different amount each time. I’m pretty sure it was because I hadn’t made sure the film was tightly wrapped around the spindle and set into the sprockets which tends to pull unevenly. They are nicely abstracted.

I took the photo above because there was a squirrel in the tree, which you’ll find if you look closely.

The multiple levels give it an almost 3-D look, or even a cinematic look, as if it’s animated. But I can’t tell what was partially exposed over it, and if it’s just the one tree, or another tree, though I think I actually know where this is looking at the other photos on the roll.

Below, I like the multi-faceted take, strips of different exposure levels as if it’s an intentional experiment. The scanner I used added too much red to it because I also liked the delicate colors in the original. I may try my better scanner with it, and continue my search for a higher-quality negative scanner than ones I’ve experimented with.
