With the FujiXT-1 the double exposure setting works like a film camera - the images have to be taken consecutively. However, unlike film cameras you can see a feint outline of the first image, then you superimpose the second. Of course the element of surprise is considerably less, but for me it's the thought process I enjoy and yes there are still some surprises when the image pops up onto the screen.

'AUTHORIZATION NEEDED TO PASTE ON WALLS' says the sign - glad we adhered to that one!
Seeking a little refuge from the heat in Arles, the Crypt below Place De La Republique offered some interesting photographic opportunities. Pitch black except for a few intermittent beams of sunlight from the square above posed a few challenges. Since I was there mainly to cool down, I wasn't holding out much hope on the photographic front. I began doing some of my double exposures that I love so much...
The RPS have featured my successful portfolio on their website:

So delighted to have 'Still and Sparkling' shortlisted for the International Print Exhibition 2016. Fingers crossed it will go all the way!

The countdown has begun. One more week to wait before we leave for Arles' Photographic Festival. Last year was so amazing and inspirational, I cannot wait to see what is in store for us this year.

Fingers crossed I have successfully ironed out the social media glitches on my website and you will now have access to my blog.
It was requested that I post my Hanging Plan for my portfolio. So here it is.
With regards to the Hanging Plan, my idea of having 4 rows of 5 went out of the window as there is a max of 3 rows allowed. This format - 9 and 11 worked well for me, allowing 2 central images.
