got another roll of film developed today, this was the roll that fucked up in the camera and didn't wind on properly, so i got the tech at the photo lab to pull it out so i could try using it again.  flicking through the photos, i found one at the start where i was liek "omg wtf??" and couldn't work out what the hell it was until i realised it was the manifestation of the fuck-up in the film last time - essentially, 34 photos all exposed onto the same frame of film. 



levels adjusted a bit so it's a bit clearer.  cool, huh?  next roll of film i think i'll double expose all of them.  whee!

just read this story (i'm GAY for YOU, spider-man!), which was good, but weird too, because new fandom eep!  i'm not so much a slash fan as a fan who likes slash, because seriously considering slash in another fandom, or with a pairing outside my usual focus, kinda squicks me.  i'd like to get involved in more fandoms, though.  maybe i'll give spidey a go.

hardly had any sleep this weekend. exhausted.  bleh to another work week.

One of my favourite things to do was to mess with proportion.. so, say take a shot of a garden tap that will fill the frame. Then take a photo of a person standing somewhere that fills maybe a quarter to a third of the frame. The results can be pretty nifty. Mixing stuff to get things like a tree growing out of a building can be tricky, but also look neat.

I used to like going with the more strange surreal stuff than arty, so I can only give bonkers suggestions like that :)

I wish that there was a function on digital cameras to make a double exposure. I suppose you could achieve the effect to some degree in photoshop or GIMP, but it's just not the same.
