double exposures, nyc

a couple more of my shots from new york in June. this time with flipped double exposures. they are both shot with the lomo diana, and were cross processed from velvia 100 film.

flatiron building, nyc

another one of my new york lomos, this time of the famous flatiron building. it was originally called fuller building, and is located at 175 5th avenue. the building was finished in 1902, and was then one of the tallest in manhattan.

the picture was taken with the lubitel 166 at f/22 and 1/60 sec exposure on velvia 100 film, cross processed.

beautiful strangers, nyc

new york is a city with heaps of great-looking people. i tried to do some lomo portraits of interesting people i met while i was there, but unfortunately all the portraits came out underexposed. i still think they are interesting shots, and the people look great.

multiple exposures, NYC

i picked up another two rolls from development yesterday, with pictures from new york. this time they were shot with lomo diana on ILFORD HP5 b&w film (iso 400), and the result was quite good! one of my favorites is this double (tripple??) exposure which I can't remember taking at all. i really have no idea how I did it, but really love the results. which is one of the best things about lomo shots ;)

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:

brooklyn bridge, NYC

after 10 amazing days in new york city, i'm back in amsterdam. i came back with a total of 9,5 rolls of 120 film, with 7,5 of them on positive 100 film and 2 on b&w 400 film. since i've never done it before, i decided to get the positive films cross-processed. cross processing is when positive/slide-film is developed in chemicals meant for negative films. this is a popular process with lomo photos, as the result is often vivid and crazy colors. another advantage, at least at the photolab I use, is that when using C-41 (negative) chemicals, the development only takes one hour, as opposed to 4-5 days with normal positive. however, the results are a bit mixed. one of the reasons is that my scanner doesn't understand what is going on. some of the photos turned out really cool, while others were just monochrome read, and I had to turn them into b&w.

anyways, here are two shots from brooklyn bridge, new york. both are shot with the Lubitel 166B, with f/22 and 1/60 sec.
