Double exposure could be nice (though > unfortunately impossible with a M): ... Sander van Hulsenbeek > Amsterdam, Holland > hello sander, i would not say, it is "impossible" to do double exposures with the leica M... - it is indeed possible - but i admit, that it's a bit tricky... just some weeks before, i have made some succesfull double-exposures with my M6 - i had to photograph a MC-donalds drive-in at night; and i wanted to add some lines of moving lights of the traffic to "dramatize" and improve the szenery. part one of the exposure was the Mc-drive-station, at about 1/8 second with f8 on a tripod; than i moved the camera to the road close to the MC-stations and banned the moving lights of cars whit 1 sec, 1/2 sec and 2 sec on film; about the double-exposure technique: after the first exp., i gave a little bit of tension to film with the film-rewind-crank, switched the rewind-button (front of cam) and cocked the shutter - ready for exposure nr. 2. i've made 15 (double)-exposures, for trying different effects; there where 4 exposures, where the first and the second exposure did'nt match well together on the film; so there where 11 pictures left to choose - and the one, whe printed, was amazing an nice... :-) good luck thomas böhm imst, austria __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
