Default There's No Way Around It!

Why would you make a double exposure?

Oh boy. You know nothing about still work. The photo was taken to
show the lighting as is, not the gear, which is clear and bright in
the second photo. Half slides on an 8x10 cassette is standard,
exposing twice, then dodging with the enlarger.


Ah, like a sort of half-frame that yields two 5x8s?


You clearly never learned how a camera works or worked in a darkroom.


I know how a camera works, but haven't used 8x10 (35mm and 6x6cm). As for
working in a darkroom, if you dodge your half frame exposure, you'll get a
fuzzy edge - much better to mask it and get a clean one.
