To be honest &#8230; in the past &#8230; I used to get the guy at the lab to help me do so. I thought that was the only way to do it until I met a very helpful camera seller who demonstrated how it can be done with just a short strip of film and double-sided tapes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I immediately went home and tried doing it myself and I was so happy to learn something new (at least to me). This way, I can go out shooting a roll and immediately extract the film leader and pop the same roll into the camera for some double exposure fun.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I&#8217;ve long wanted to share this method\/trick with those who might be interested but I&#8217;ve always been too busy (and forgetful). Until tonight &#8230; I received a comment\/reply in one of my blog entry, and that friend got stuck while trying to extract the film leader from his\/her roll. I did try explaining how it can be done through few lines of text but I&#8217;m not sure if my lousy writing will be of any use. So despite the fact that it&#8217;s already way past midnight and I&#8217;m super sleepy &#8230; I took these few shots (pardon the lousy quality) and hope they can be of help.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ndroo.com\/blog\/images\/misc4\/extract1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ndroo.com\/blog\/images\/misc4\/extract2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ndroo.com\/blog\/images\/misc4\/extract3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>* Ooops!
