Statsraad double by ingrid2101

Statsraad double

After scanning for ages the internet went off last night so quick upload before work. I found the double exposure button on my camera - only took 28 years. So used the last bit of film to do a couple. This is a tall ship that comes over from Norway a few times in the summer

Fantastic that you could do. Like cameras that have this function. Nice colour too

You are doing something completely out of my comprehension. It looks amazing. how double exposure created this 80 degree turn? or it is two films?
June 28th, 2013  
It was worth the wait!

I love this - fantastic effect and the blue tinge sets it off well

Love this. Great idea for a multiple image. Laughing that it took you 28 years to realise your camera could take these. That's the sort of thing I do as my partner bangs his head against the wall with frustration!

that's a lovely tangle of rigging!

Lol glad you found it. Loving this. Fav

Just bought a Nikon FE!! woo, I find double exposures on SLRs tricky but the potential always gets me excited. great shots.

@chewyteeth Cool!! You can never have enough cameras, the FE is a beauty and you'll have all the lenses from your FM as well. Didn't you have a really nice lens? I'm sure I remember you recommending one on Flickr but cannot remember which one it was. Just developed some Rollei Infrared and it looks really contrasty. Too excited but have to wait for it to dry!!! :)

I got a roll of infra red in a joblot but I'm just gonna sell it, sounds like lots of hard work to shoot i.e. filter and focus points etc. yep got some sweet lenses, look out for Series one vivitar lenses on ebay for Nikon AI, there's a lovely 28-85mm and 70-210mm f2.8. I've got three then a nikkor one.

@yaorenliu Hi - just the one film, there is a switch on my camera that I hold in when I wind on the film - this lets you take 2 exposures on i piece of film. It releases the shutter switch without winding the film forward - you have to set the ISO to twice what's in or else it gets overexposed. So I just turned the camera 180 degrees for the second shot
June 30th, 2013  
@chewyteeth EEEW! I didn't know about the shift in focus - if I'd stop and think! Or read up a bit first.. some of them look ok but scanner isn't doing them justice - you should stick a roll through, I just used a red filter, looking on ebay - dangerous!

I saw a Nikon FE on eBay the other day, price was within my range so I put it on my watch list, but the bidding went nuts in the hour before the auction was to close. In the end I couldn't afford to bid anymore. Which I was disappointed about. I like the result here with your double exposure :)

Stunning double exposure. One of my grandfathers had a very short lived career as a sailor on that ship in his youth. He didn't like it and became a farmer. My other grandfather sailed and took photos all over the world, even in Antartica, http://www.paafeltet.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Hammern-02.jpg

@fishy
Got mine body only for £22, if you're on a budget look out for big lots of camera/lens/bags/acessories. Then you can sell the bits you don't want. I bought my Nikon FM with 7 lenses and a case for £140 and I sold three of the lenses for £105, leaving me with case, four lenses and a Nikon FM for £35.

@chewyteeth Cheers for the info, Dave. I have been lucky enough to find something similar with a Canon A1 and a Pentax ME super that came with busloads of accessories.

@primitiveprobe What a great photo and an interesting story. I like being on boats but I don't fancy working on one!

Lovely pale color and a fav...
