My first ever double exposures!

I used the XR-M for these. It's ideal as it's easy to turn off the motor drive for multiple exposures and there's no need to have a blank frame afterwards to stop them over-lapping with the next shot. I think I reduced the exposure slightly to make sure they didn't get too much light.

Each exposure in each photo is of the same object.

M 85mm f/2 at f/2.8 (for both exposures)

Hey Mike, got a question about your Unicolor chems -- do you store them in any sort of special way to get such an extension out of your chemicals' life? I have a small Unicolor kit that I haven't mixed yet, and I think its instructions state that I can get about four rolls out of it. But I'm hoping that, if done back to back, I might be able to get 8, and if the 8th still looks good, maybe even more.

I mix the one liter kit per instructions. I put the chems in one liter plastic pop bottles. I store them in the basement, no special process. I have done about 20 rolls of 135, 8-10 rolls of 120, about 12-16 sheets of 2x3 and about 8 sheets of 4x5 in about a year. A couple months ago, I ran the chems through a paper towel filter.

I am going to do two more rolls of 135 in a day or three. and another roll of 120 soon as well.

I still use 95 degrees F @6.5 minutes for developer and blix through all the films. agitation by the instructions.

Note that the instructions call for 102 degrees F, I prefer the 95@6.5minutes.

Nice shots. You are inspiring me to get out my Yashica-MAT EM with its Yashicanon 80mm f 3.5. Wondering what may be causing the vertical striations running from top to bottom on the left side of the prints?

My epson 1660 scanner does that. Sometimes I PS it out, sometimes I leave it if it's not too jarrring.

You should grab that EM and shoot some!!

The marks on the side are likely caused by my processing, I should get and use larger mouth storage bottles.
the pop bottle mouth is quite small and when I pour it gurgles out instead of a smooth pour.

It may be scanning, but I don't think so. I could be wrong. I hope I'm wrong, LOL

This is my rebuilt city street bike, for wandering on photo shoots in downtown and urban environments.


I replaced the 2 speed front crank with a three speed, not because i needed 15 gears, but because the inner ring is much smaller which gives me a much lower low range, I doubt I will ever use the outer two rings at all. I don't need to go fast, I want to go slooooooow. :-)

Thanks for the info, Mike. And for the temp tip. I guess it's time for me to get busy and do some C-41.
