Jim says that you get a double mandate period to do this especially
complex and thought provoking mandate. Mostly because he's not going
to be here. Moreover, Jim says that he will except two(2) entries from
each participant. No Photoshopping images together.

Helen's original concept, reworked by Jim because he's an SOB.

Still time to get in on:

Confused, bewildered, mentally infirm? I can't guarantee this will
help, but it might:

Sorry guys. I didn't know digital had no double exposure mode. I'm
brand new to digital so please bear with me. It was a suggestion, but
it can be changed. I just asked Jim to change the Mandate to
something people would have fun with.

It would seem to me that the multiple exposure effect could be simulated in
Photoshop by overlaying the various images you wanted in the effect. This
can be done with either film or digital, assuming you scanned the images
into the program.....

Try increasing the voltage.

Using a digital camera for this is impossible... all you could do is take
a
picture in the dark, set the camera to a long exposure, and fire a
separate
flash unit (which lots of people don't have) a few times... you have 30
sec to
compose...

So you'd get multiple images of something - big deal!

This is a film only mandate - bye!
And even then not easily - 2 of my older film bodies can do multiple
exposure by holding down the rewind button while winding it on, but I've
found that the film will often move, so it's usefulness is limited. My MZ-60
will reliably reload a roll of film accurately enough that multiple
exposures can be done - but it would be a pain to do - rewind the film, use
a film puller to retrieve the leader, reload it, put the lens cap on, and
fire off a bunch of shots at 1/2000 F32 until getting to the right position.
Nup, not worth the hassle.
I wouldn't even call this a film only mandate - it's a mandate for just a
handful of cameras.
FWIW, the Fuji S9500 (which is digital), can do multi exposures.

I bet we'll all rush out and get one of these, eh?

Don't need to - already have one.. (O: But it's not the only d-cam
that can do it, I've noticed a few others that have the ability.
However, I can't see many reasons to use in-camera multiples rather
than PS, except I guess you could get an idea of what is going wrong
and (try to) fix it while shooting, and maybe because it is more
'real'....

Having said all that, I'm not sure I'm going in this one - that sort
of thing isn't really my bag (I hadn't even noticed my camera did this
until I checked the manual when GF mentioned it). But if something
inspires me, who knows - maybe I'll Google for multi exposure images
and see what clever things others may have done.

Jim, as Helen and ors suggested, I would strongly suggest you lighten
up on the methodology. If someone doesn't have a multi-exp ability,
they shouldn't be deterred.. otherwise it will be an empty mandate.

I am not saying that at all. The word FILM is not in the title. I
enjoy both forms of photography....film and digital.
