You can do this kinda thing in photoshop. With much better results. I don’t get the big deal.

We went through a lot of rolls, and only picked our favorites. out of one roll of 24 or 36, we get about 3-5 images we love. We never know who/where the other has shot. Aside from a little lighting/darkening, or dust removal, they are unedited.

As intresting as the effect is and having seen some really impressive examples, i don’t find the above images that special. Maybe they’re just too abstract for my tastes.

there are some DSLRs that have a double exposure option. i know some Nikons do and i for sure know the Fuji Xpro has this option.

these are great, but does anyone think these are a little too perfect and setup?

In a way – some. Not all DSLR’s have Multiple Exposure function. E.g. Nikon D800 does. But would mean handing over the camera rather than flash card I think.

This is a fun idea fir sine really unexpected images. I first heard about it on Flickr a while back: http://blog.flickr.net/en/2010/06/04/time-for-some-film-swapping/

As far as the digital question goes: yes, it is *technically* possible with some pro bodies, but you could also do it in photoshop with “overlay” layer blending setting. This will not be the same, however, as part of the joy is the unexpected juxtaposition you get with film – you don’t have any idea what frame #17 is when you expose your own image on top. I guess you could always write a PHP/GD script to combine frames, but what fun is that??

Not the kind of thing I’d normally but interested in, but some of these work really well.
