Exclusive Indefinable

I saw some nice photos from echeleon at http://echeleon.livejournal.com/23522.html?view=221154. His panoramic photos were taken by taking multiple shots/exposures on his Holga 120. After learning some of the techniques from him, I decided to try it out on my Holga 135BC.

There are some differences between the Holga 120 and Holga 135BC. For echeleon’s set of photos, he is only allowed 12 shots whereas I’m allowed 36 shots. He can also calculate how many clicks he should turn for each shot. For my testing, I found it hard to calculate the number of clicks. As seem from my photos, the number of overlapping is different between the SMU and the Sentosa shots. Echeleon’s overlapping is more consistent.

In summary, this is done advancing the film bit by bit and moving from one direction to another direction. For example, moving from left to right. For my case, I use a tripod and turning the camera in a 360 degrees. Once you takes a shot, move your camera and advance the film a bit to get the overlapping. It is really hard to judge the number of clicks on the Holga 135BC. I tried to do 4 multi exposures on the SMU photo and 2/3 multi exposures on the Sentosa photo.

I used Fuji Astia 100 film to test this.
