manhattan in flipped, double exposures

when arriving back to manhattan on the short ride with the manhattan ferry, I took this picture with the lomo diana. i first covered the bottom half of the lens with my credit card, and took one exposure. then i covered the top part, turned the camera upside-down, and did another exposure. I am really happy with how it turned out.

luckily I gave it two tries, because when developing the film, I realized I had messed up one of them. under you gan see how the "unsuccessful" one turned out (the picture itself is not that bad i think. it works well as a panorama-shot).


i actually came up with the idea for this technique when i was shooting in vigeland sculpture park. however, when i tried to do it there, i messed it up in the way that i was covering the bottom half of the lens in both exposures. here it's how it turned out:

lomo diana flipped double exposures

one of the most characteristic features with lomographic cameras is the possibility to make several exposures on top of each other. after experimenting with taking pictures of different motives on top of each other, I figured it gives a great effect to shoot the same object twice, either flipped, like here, or from different angels. both these are from de bolelaan in amsterdam, by vrije universiteit.

2-in-1 portrait II

same models as the last one, just now with expired 120mm KODAK color film. the spring has come and left, and it's now only 11 degrees in amsterdam. hopefully it'll be back soon. two days ago was the huge queensday celebration in amsterdam, I manage to shoot three full rolls, so expect a lomophobic queensday special soon.
