Double Exposure

Another cool technique that can be done in the darkroom is a double exposure. This is down with another very simple process that I will briefly explain.

The first thing that needs to be done, is two negatives have to be examined and chosen as the two perfect matches to make a beautiful image. Once the two images are picked, exposure times for both pictures must be found. So each image has to be developed first before they can be developed together. Once the two exposure times are found, the real magic begins.

First you must pick the base image and place it into the enlarger. Expose it for the amount of time you have already found. Once it has been exposed you then replace the first image with the second and continue the same process.

Some the crazy photographs are created this way. The developing process is done the exact same way as a regular image and in the end there will probably have to be a little adjustment will have to be made if one picture appears too much darker than the other, but that can also be a uniqueness about them.
