We have new Weekend Challenge coming this weekend. It's the 4th of July Weekend for here in the USA, but I think we all will still have time to take some photos. 
Like our previous Weekend Challenges, this one will be rooted in Film Cameras. It's doing Multiple Exposure in camera. Almost all cameras today have a Multiple Exposure mode built in. Canon was the last one to finally add it into their cameras, so hopefully everyone can join in and contribute.
For a bit of history, my earliest memories of Multiple Exposure in camera with Film cameras was to do portraits and at weddings. Photographers would take a photo of the Bride and Groom and then run outside and without advancing the film, take a 2nd image of the church or church steeple that would overlay with the image of the Bride and Groom. I also remember it being a way to get your close up images of flowers to glow. You would take an image of the flower, then turn the focus just slightly to get it out of focus and then take a 2nd image overlaying both images. This method would require a tripod.
My first cameras didn't have the ability to recock the shutter while not advancing the film, and I remember when I learned about it and being sad I couldn't do it. I then remember being so excited when I got my first Nikon film body that allowed that ability!
If you have any questions, please be sure to ask.
Here is an example of in camera Multiple Exposure. This was 4 shots blended in camera as 1 that I took at my granddaughters recital a few weeks back.
