1Double Exposure Mode

How to take your first perfect Double Exposure Shots ??

Alright so the basic idea that you need to have in mind is that the first shot you take is going to be your main photo. And the second shot is going to be shadow. Everything in that the shot that is a shadow. that is where you’re going to see whatever you take in your second shot.

• First shot is the main photo 
• second shot is going to be the shadow.

The basic shots of double exposure – instax mini 90

It is basically use first image as blurry and second image as a main photo. In mini 90, double exposure mode is a new feature previous models do not have. You can superimpose or overlap two different images to create a single creative photo. Just release the shutter once for one scene and again for another scene.

Here in the example of a flower and a man, first shot was for flower and second shot was for man. It has created a stylish photo of a man with blurry flowers.

I have got a ton of example of Double exposure shots. Just keep reading this article that is only about variety use of double exposure shots. If you just want simple double exposure- one with blurry and other with main photo, then you can do it very easy way. Just take one shot to use as blurry or background image and other one as a main photo.

How to take a silhouette Double exposure – Instax mini 90

A silhouette is basically a really bright background and a dark subject. That’s the Silhouette basic like another feature of Digital Camera.  When you do that the whole first shot is going to be dark shadow. The shadows where your second photo is going to show up. 

That’s why this is so cool. so what you need to do for your first shot is take as a silhouette. And that works really well either against a white wall or you have got bright white background or against the bright white sky.

Step One

Okay, so the way you do this. shot number one is a silhouette. you can do it up a person or an object whatever you want.   And like we were just talking about because that subject is dark.  The shadows that’s where your second photo is going to show up.

but when you shoot against a bright sky it becomes white because there’s so much light. so start with that get that silhouette.

Step Two

Then for your second shot find a pattern or a texture or a color that’s gonna fill in those shadows. And that’s all you do.  It’s really simple the results especially with instant film are quite unpredictable but very cool. The result is fantastic and all about your shooting experience or style.

Okay so take a second to let that sink in. the shadows are where that second photo is going to show up. because those highlights, they’re already getting a lot of light when you put more light it just becomes more bright. the stereotypical double exposure shot that everyone does because it looks so red is this one that I’ve been showing you.

Now lets use tow easiest step with Instax mini 90 Neo Classic.

Second example of silhouette is If you don’t use really bright background, it’s going to be like this. It’s also pretty cool. Since it is little bit tricky, you should try it to get more funny experience. 

now you can see for example this photo if that first silhouette shot doesn’t have a really bright white background. then you kind of get that blue sky and you get the texture kind of showing up there as well instead of just in the silhouette.

so that’s one little way that you kind of want that really white background. so you get less of the sky and more just that pattern filling in the silhouette.

Tips for Half Image – Mini 90 Double Exposure

One really cool way to do double exposures is by exposing only half of the film at once in your first exposure and then you expose the other half of the film in the other exposure and that’s not as hard as it sounds.

So here’s an example on the top I have no half face on the left and the second half face on the right. The other half on the second shot combined with their first short. And now its look very cool and crazy you hardly  have seen images like this In the photography. So this is really fun the way to do it. I’ll tell  you first on this camera because it’s very easy.

You could have a person in one half of the frame and then that same person in the other half of the frame. all sorts of crazy stuff like that like this.

Tips for half images with double exposure

• if you want to do something like that with Instax mini 90 new classic cameras, I don’t know of any fancy gadget like that for it but all you would need to do is take like a piece of black tape and cover up half of the frame for your first shot.
• then carefully move that for that tape to the other half of the frame for the second shot. that’s how you would do it with that.

• okay a couple final tips before we go one thing to remember is that when you are exposing the same piece of film twice. it’s getting basically twice as much light as it normally would.
• so you might want to experiment with underexposing this cameras have the ability to kind of darken the frame a little bit.
• so you might want to try doing that. So that it doesn’t everything doesn’t just get overexposed because it’s being exposed twice or multiple times.
• another tip just kind of in general when you’re starting out with double exposure and multiple exposure photography is that you’re gonna want to look for scenes that are quite simple.
• if you have really really busy scenes and you’re putting two of them together you can just look chaotic.
• so while you’re getting the hang of it you’re gonna want to look for things that are like simple not a lot in the shot and that way when they combine you can still kind of tell what’s going on.
• alright, guys, I hope you enjoyed that little introduction to double exposure photography.  remember to look at your manual to figure out how to do it but the biggest thing here is just to experiment. keep those ideas that I’ve given you in mind and have fun with it. because for me this double exposure stuff is always some of the most exciting and unexpected with instant film and I just love that.

Tips for Taking Sideways Picture – Double Exposure 

some tips with that when you’re taking that second shot don’t just think you need to hold the camera one way you can turn it sideways you can turn it upside down you can do all sorts of crazy stuff and that’s the point here is to try to be really creative.

but you’re always wanting you to keep your framing from the first shot in mind. so you kind of remember where things are to try to get it to line up nicely with a second shot.

it’s tricky and one of the big things with these double exposures is you have be ready to make a bunch of mistakes a bunch of failures on your way to figuring out your technique and finding really cool stuff.

but that’s all the fun part of the process. along that similar idea you can do like a reflection shot where your first photo is something up right and then do the double exposure with that same thing upside down. As a Example…

you can take shots where you combine two different contrasting ideas like some nice clouds and then some really urban architecture or you can do a shot where it’s two photos of the same object kind of shot in different ways so you’re kind of layering it on top of each other.

How Double exposure works ?

I’m going to be sharing some tips with you on how to shoot awesome double exposure shots with your instant film camera.

Okay so the first thing you need to know is just what the basic idea behind a double exposure is. What happens when you take a photo on a piece of film is that the camera opens up the shutter and light comes in to expose the shot and then the film comes out and that’s how you take a photo.

But with a double exposure what happens is that you take that first shot but the film doesn’t come out. It waits there. You take another shot that image also goes on the same piece of film.Then it comes out so you get two photos on the same piece of film and they kind of combine in often very unexpected and creative ways to give you something totally cool.

Its Looks like this…..

so we are gonna be going over some tips on how to shoot these and some things you need to make sure you keep in mind.

Because double exposure is kind of work in a funky way and if you don’t fully understand it your results will kind of be lackluster.

Before you start Double Exposure What to know ???

At first you have to choose or decide to photos. the first one should be telescope photo for the background. it will be best if the background would be the nature because it will come with the whole details.

the second photo should be a face or your full picture portrait.it doesn’t matter who is photo or image come first. it all depends on your choice because you should not follow all details cause it’s all your discussion how to do that nothing else.

You should have the feature of double exposure mode of your instax camera. that’s all, now take to get  action.

No 2 : Use Tripod for Bulb Mode shooting to get perfect capturing

In the bulb mode, since the shuttle will remain open for 10 seconds, it might occurs shaking the camera while taking photos.  that is why, I highly recommend it use of a tripod for getting perfect photos. In result, the images will not be blurred and you get nice shot of one.

Just attach the tripod to the screw hole on the bottom of the instax camera and your are ready to take shot.

No 3 : Control the exposure time in the bulb mode

No 8 : Use 1 or 2 seconds to get Portrait images

If Is there is so many people and you want to take photo alone or you want a polaroid image like a portrait, then it is a perfect method to capture the moment.

The normal shutter speed is 1.8 seconds, but you should hold the shutter button like 1 to 2 seconds. Then what would happen is that when you focus on the object other moving objects will not disappear but blurred.

Moving object will then get paint on the Polaroid. It would be better if you get more variant light.

Actually it will paint the light and it will take awesome photo as you can say A Portrait. it would be more fun when the vehicles with light pass by.

Here on the instax photo used the bulb mode to take and interesting photo of a person standing still amidst blurred images of passers-by. You can see other people are not showing on the photo but they are painted. The photo was taken on Shopping area at night. Passers-by appear like blurred streaks.

In this case the shutter speed should be 1 to 2 seconds. If it is slower than that, the passers-by will completely invisible in the photo.

No 9 : Trick with a penlight

One of the best way and my favourite to enjoy bulb mode shooting is playing with lights.Draw text or shapes with a penlight while shutter is open. The light trail will appear in the photo. You can take any light movement of colors  to get the shapes by open the shutter until 10 seconds.

This Penlight photo was taken with the shutter kept open for 10 seconds, it is the longest time of Instax mini 90 for the bulb mode, allowing the heart-shaped light trail to be completed.

What the bulb mode did is absorbing the light surrounding the area till 10 seconds and did its great job. Eventually it makes photography more exciting using penlight.  

No 10 : Blurry trail of Movement

You can take a photo of a object movement or a person movement like a person moving from one position to another in the Bulb Mode and capture a blurry trail of that movement.

Here is a sample photo, it was taken when the subject moved to a new position every 2 seconds four times and got this. This is the interesting because here is the four images of the same person captured in one.

You can move the Camera also using the tripod to get better shot. Like this flower taken by a YouTube guy.

Tips, Before You Take Any Images | Instax Mini 90 Neo Classic 

If you don’t use steady off the camera like tripod or standing on the plane surface, you will notice some glossy effect most probably in the corner of the picture. so I recommend you to use  plane surface or tripod to take or use Bulb mode.

Sometimes pictures will get blurry if it is not in a steady position, so always keep in mind to put the camera in steady position when using bulb mode.

you can short you images in the cafe or like a coffee shop to get so very light.

sometimes, keeping the shutter open for the maximum 10 seconds is not good. Because it could make the picture so bright, there will be a lot of exposure once it developed.

This Polaroid picture was taken at the coffee shop, with instax mini 90 Neo classic, and in the picture you can see the nice lighting the shop has. the camera just absorbed the perfect amount of light at the coffee shop in just 5 seconds.

Things to keep in my mind when shooting in bulb mode:

1:  use either a tripod or place the camera on something steady like a table or a bench.

2:  experiment, play with it, you can control on how long the exposure you want on your      picture.

So, the bulb mode here is another awesome feature one to definitely experiment with. There is so much fun you can do especially with instant film or Polaroid camera. Have fun with light painting, movement and nightlife photography.

The Special build-in feature with macro mode is Viewfinder

I have been talking in this article about one really cool thing is the automatic-feature of the mini 90 and that is the View-Finder. So what the viewfinder is going to do ? When you put macro mode on, the viewfinder actually changes a bit automatically. That is quite different from the other mini camera. So with the other cameras, you have to make the composition right or viewfinder can not make sure the distance of the subject. It’s a little bit confusing but with the mini 90 it is not.

It’s a combination feature of macro mode and viewfinder. Together they perform better for taking closer shot or selfie. So that is why it is one of the best combine feature of the mini 90 camera.

After having macro mode on, the camera let the viewfinder help detecting the subject. Because the mini 90 has the auto feature for detecting the distance, it will help you to get perfect shot for your subject.  

Can I use L&D mode with Macro mode ?

Yes, you can use L&D with macro mode. This is the coolest feature of the mini 90 camera. You can use with L&D with all mode. First you should know what L&D does for your shots.

Sometime when you take photo with macro mode, it might possible to get a little dark. So then you use the L for getting light with shot. Here is the interesting part is that there is another light option to get more light with the camera which is L+. In case you get more dark for shot or you think you need more light for your picture, you can increase the exposure by using the L+.

On the other way, if you wanna get little dark for your image, use the D with macro shot. Then you can get dark image with the picture.

Here on the picture you can see that the left picture is taken with L mode and the right is taken with D mode. First picture get more light with macro mode so it is looking bright and Second picture is looking perfect with the dark mode. It depend on environment wherever you are. The both picture get perfect exposure with macro mode.

All picture can get more quality if you use the macro feature with exposure according to exposure situation.

Use together with L, L+ and D for short- The lighten and Darken option is another mode of the mini 90 camera but you can use it by simply pressing on L&D button with macro mode. On the macro mode, when you press once L button will show in the LED screen, then press again you will see the L+ on the screen and with the third press you get the D mode. That’s it.

Macro mode does not require any complicated procedure but when you think the photo likely to be dark use the L mode in case of Light use D mode. Although the camera have automatic exposure control that’s mean the camera can detect the light and dark with itself, but sometime you can take a bit more control of Exposure by using L&D by making lighter or even more lighter or Darker according to your choice.

So if you are shooting in low light or the photo is too dark, you can basically use the brightness to adjust of your photo by selecting L, L+ and D modes which makes the colors in macro photos more vivid.

Default Mode vs Landscape Mode

As I said before, when take long distance picture, you should on landscape mode for sharper picture. Here you can see testing of landscape mode and Default mode. Landscape mode need at least 3 meter distance to get best result of your picture. On every picture is taken from two separate camera at the same moment so that you can see how landscape mode work and the difference from normal or default mode.

Test 1

First start with a tree with dry leaf so that you can understand the sharpness of the tree and sky light. In the first picture, the default mode, you can see that the picture is little blurred. It will hard to understand when you try to look closer. And the second image, the landscape mode, you can see the sharpest result and even you can see the leaf clearly with blind eye.

Test 2

OK, starting with the second example, here in the picture you can see of a store front. Same technique has been used for this pictures. One is default mode and another is landscape mode. The cameras was set far away from store more than 3 meter obviously.

In the default mode, the title of the store hard to understand. The left side cable with bar almost disappear and the shadow also is not clear. Even the roof is also faded. The result is blurred for distance photo.  

In the landscape mode, the right side picture, you can see the better output than the default. You can read the title and see clearly through blind eye. The feature has got the cable and bar also and roof is also looking nice. The roof is not faded by extra light. The landscape mode has done its job almost perfectly.

Test 3

Now at the third example. Most of the people or neighbor or you have garden in the yard. The garden has beautiful flower with nice leaf. Suppose you want to take picture of your garden with home. And you want to get the all background view using this mini 90 camera. If you don’t wanna use macro mode for closer shot only for flower picture, then you can use landscape mode to get clear composition.

In the default mode, you can see the picture is pretty much clear. The flower is looking great even the moe is clear. But there have something missing in the picture. The background tree is not clear and the little portion of the flower and leaf are missing. Since this the color photo, you can not see most of the lacking of the output.  

In the landscape mode, this is the almost same output but I am going to explain the different. At first you can not understand the different. But after having taken photo with landscape mode you can see different between them.

The first different is the brick. Yes, at first see on the default picture. On this picture, right bottom of the flower tree, you will see the brick is almost blurred. Tin Shed of the home is also look blurred. But in the landscape mode, everything is alright even the flower and tree is captured perfectly.

Test 4

In the test 4, you can see there are lot of pick flower in the garden. The camera was actually set 3 meter less. So the front flower is looking blurred. So now you will believe that the distance is important. Since there is too much flower populated, so the camera could not captured all the flower. But in this case, you can use macro mode to get better shot. If you want to get better photo like this situation, you should get yourself right position for best shot.  

Test 5

Here is the interesting one. According to the rules, distance from the picture to camera more than 3 meter. That’s mean you can get best example of default vs landscape mode. You also can see the difference between sky as well as cloud.

At first, in the default mode, the poll is literally blurred and the cable is almost disappeared. Poll and cable is turned into little white far from actual shape or color. And if you look at the sky, you will notice that sky and cloud did not get true blue and white colors.

In the landscape mode, the picture has slide up perfectly and look great. First, the poll is not blurred like default mode and the cable is not disappeared and it can watch with blind eye. The sky gets perfect blue color as it was while taking picture. The cloud also is mixing up with the sky and looks perfect.
