I decided to try some two-camera double exposures. First, I put a roll of Fomapan 400 into my pinhole camera (Ondu 6x6) and shot 12 close-up photos of washi paper taped to my office window. Then I rewound the film and put it in my Holga 120N, added a fog filter for more atmosphere, and took photos at a national part in the Laurentian Mountains. I like how these turned out, although I'm going to find some washi paper with subtler textures next time I do this.

Another pinhole camera shot from a few days ago (Ondu 6x6) with Fomapan 100.
I spotted these fallen apples on a park bench and put the camera right on the bench, using a twig to level it, and took a four-minute exposure. There was a birder on the trail behind the bench with a monopod and a camera, taking photos, but because he was moving he didn't even appear in the shot.
Finally ready to share some color pics from my Tuscany trip, starting with some blue and golden hour shots from Val D'Orcia. Not ideal conditions, but still beautiful area to experience at that time of day

Brad,
I really like your pinhole contributions. The texture makes me think of my eye treatments (injections) I have been getting for almost two years - except the texture looks like Vasoline in my case. I'm glad my details are returning, but I still appreciate the abstract view

Reminds me of Réseau crosses, which I absolutely adore.
I had to look that one up!
I was inspired to try this based on images I saw from the Haruhisa camera, which projects through a custom-made plate, and wanted to see whether I could produce similarly textured images using double exposures on film. So far I've tried it with my pinhole camera, as well as the pinhole camera with the Holga, and want to try it with the pinhole camera and my Mamiya C330 although I'm less confident the frames will line up the same if I do that (no red window on the Mamiya to verify alignment).
I use the pinhole camera to take the images of washi paper because it has near-infinite depth of field, so I can place it a centimeter or two from the paper and have it be in focus and fill the frame, and also because my pinhole camera has knobs that allow me to move the film in both directions -- so I can easily rewind it once I'm done shooting my 12 "texture" exposures. Once rewound I can use it any camera that shoots 120 film -- the same pinhole camera, my Holga, my Mamiya, whatever.
I'm going to get some more finely textured washi paper and maybe experiment with glass plates as well. I've always liked photos that have some texture, especially random as opposed to regular, repetitive patterns.
A few pinhole camera shots from the parc national du Mont Tremblant, about an hour and a half north of Montréal. Ondu 6x6 with FP4+, developed in Rodinal.
