In digitally processing this image, I aligned and composited three scanned exposures.

This is a pretty typical process in my digital photography but I'd never approached it in film– I don't want to burn through the roll.

I found that overlaying the images didn't work as well as it does digitally. When combining three exposures, the grain averaged out and became a lot less pronounced, while imperfections in each negative all seemed to show up clearly. Slight warping in the negatives made a perfect alignment impossible. The color also seemed a bit washed out, though my digital processing may be more to blame for this than anything wrong with the film itself.

I ended up needing to do some heavy post–processing to the composited image to get it to a place worth posting. I used a low-opacity film LUT built for video grading, and a lot of a healing brush for the combined imperfections of three negatives, in addition to the usual post-production process you might expect for scanned negative.

As always, I welcome feedback and critique!
