If On a Winter’s Night a Traveler…

So my new camera has an option to let you take multiple exposures on the one part of a film, this option is on the command dial right next to the button for self timer mode. I need the self timer because I tend to use just about anything as a prop to let me take long exposures in dim light.

I took a handful of photos in Rathmines church and used the timer as the lighting was very poor and I wanted to use f8/f11 to give me a nice depth of field for the internal shots. I needed a shutter speed slower than anything I could hand hold so I used the self timer and random church based props to hold the camera steady. Job done I headed into the city for dinner and a look around as is my want on a Saturday evening. I turned the dial from self timer and I must have selected the multiple exposure option.

In this one photo you can see including but not exclusively:

My wife.

An external photo of Mary Immaculate, Refuge of Sinners church in Rathmines

The church sacristy.

The church nave

The Temple Bar pharmacy

Meeting House Square

The inside of the Brick Alley Cafe.

Tara Street Dart station

Some apartments lit up for the night.

It has pretty much allowed to me record an entire evening in one messed up photo….

This is how they should have looked…
