First time: Double exposure

Summer is officially over in Munich and we are now enjoying cloudy skies and constant drizzle. Honestly, I’ll take that any day over the humid head we’ve had before.

This pretty sudden change in weather has showed me how dependent I had become on good (i.e. interesting) light in my daily photos. But there were no dramatic shadows to be had today, no vibrant colors and no pockets of light.

So I resorted to experimenting a bit indoors. I’ve been wanting to try out double-exposure photography for a while now, but kept forgetting about it. But having few other options, today was the day to finally try it.

I don’t quite know what I’m doing yet, but I’m intrigued. The first (and so far only) result that didn’t go immediately into the trash is this lamp/plant combination.

I’m documenting this here because it’s been a long time that I have tried something completely new, when it comes to photography. If I work with double exposures more in the future, it might be fun to look back at this first attempt.

And if I don’t this will just serve as a reminder of a day where I tried something new and had fun with it.
