Garry Black Photography

Question:

I now have a Canon AE2 (I could not justify the Nikon extra cost--except now I really want the option of more than 8 "double" exposures, damn it. The multi-multi exposures of yours I saw last night and Larry Monczka's who was in the same club as I was in Toronto make me very envious!).

Answer:

You can do as many multiple exposures as you want to. I think your camera should do up to 9 multiple exposures. So what you have to do is to set the number of exposures to 9, then you shoot 8 exposures (all on the same frame of film) then instead of taking the 9th exposure you reset the multiple exposures back up to 9 (or whatever the maximum number is). Put a different way, lets say you can do 9 multiple exposures with your camera, after the 8th exposure is when you would reset your dial back to 9, then do another 8 and reset back to 9, then shoot all 9 exposures - at this point you have 25 multiple exposures, which should give you a really good effect which should make everyone envious of you.
