Using an ISO 100 film set your meter for example 400. You then make 8 exposures one right after the other on the same frame. Then advance to the next frame and repeat say for 800, this equates to 16 exposures on the same frame. Each time you change the ISO rating for multiple exposures just double the ISO rating to get the number of exposures required for the correct exposure. IE: 200 = 4 exp 400 = 8 exp 800 = 16 1600 = 32 exposures. (this one is really wild!) :) When you take the roll into the lab it is processed ____"NORMALLY"____!!!! You can tell them the images are all multiple exposures just so they don't loose it when they look at all this beautiful "wierd" looking stuff. But don't let anyone tell you to change the processing time from normal!!! If you do, you'll blow the whole thing. Trust me this works, as we shot 40 rolls of film last summer doing just this method and got some very wierd and wonderful artsy fartsy lookng things. By the way there is a high throw away rate, simply because they don't all work in the compositional factor. ted
