What happens if you expose film to light before developing?
Film records light to create an image. If your film is Underexposed (when not enough light reaches the film) or if your exposure begins to fade from Latent Image Failure (when too much time passes between exposure of the latent image and development), the recorded image will be faint on the processed film.
How long can you keep exposed film?
Kodak’s guidline says professional films may be stored up to a few days after exposure, but that optimal results will be achieved by developing shortly after exposure. Most films can be stored in the fridge for up to six months before processing without forming any noticeable defects.
Should you use multiple exposures in your photography?
With digital photography and editing software, multiple exposures are easier to achieve. “You can execute a shot so much more effectively now than when you were trying to double expose in the camera,” experienced photographer Carli Davidson says, “especially with images that are taken at different times or in different spaces.”
What is multiple exposure subject matter for film?
It is recommended that you use a faster film stock as you’ll need lots of light to get your exposures correct. Another common multiple exposure subject matter I see often is overlapping landscapes. This can be done with a myriad of things such as buildings, mountains, train tracks and trees.
How do you take a double exposure photo with film?
There are two main ways to accomplish a double exposure photo with film: in-camera, or in the darkroom. In the camera. When you attempt an in-camera double exposure, you take two exposures on one piece of film.
How do you do multiple exposures in-camera?
In-camera multiple exposures can be done in a variety of ways, which I will touch on briefly below. In the darkroom, multiple exposures were created by either stacking different negatives within one enlarger and then exposing the paper a single time or by exposing the photo paper multiple times to different negatives.
