Mistakes in Amateur Photography - Double Exposure (Or How to Save on Film)


Pretty maids all in a row

For a number of reasons, the shutter stutters.
The film gets a double exposure.
The film doesn't get advanced for the next picture.
The shutter simply is faulty.
The photographer simply trips the shutter twice, "to make sure".
And you have it: the DOUBLE EXPOSURE.

  1. Wow! This may be the creepiest genre in your collection. All the photos have that dream or nightmare quality that makes them accidental works of art. The blimp over the paddleboat is my favorite, but the double line of ladies is fantastic too.

    1. Thanks Mike Brubaker. You are right; some of these old photographs are downright creepy. The superimposed double images always produce an unsettling feeling for me. The chain of women is my favorite too. The blimp photograph is the most popular though. It has collected almost 18 thousand views on Flickr.
