Capture two shots on one slide

I have a Canon (AE-1) camera programmed, and I have several filters, and I wanted to take two pictures on one slide, using the filters. I have tried over and over again, but I could not get a good result because of wrapping the film after each shot, because the shutter will not release except with wrapping the film. I tried to return the film at the rate of one image, but the two images were distorted as a result, so please explain to me how to take such These photos are by this camera

Some cameras are not equipped with the possibility of double capture, so the manual process must be followed as follows:
After filming the first scene
1- You have to tighten the lever to return the film in the direction of the arrow until you make sure that the film is attached.
2- Press the film return button located at the bottom of the camera, thus the film will be released from the winding adapter and left in its place without movement during the process of winding and preparing the second image.
3- Hold with your right hand the help of wrapping the film that you previously tightened while keeping it motionless while preparing the second picture with your left hand, i.e. wrapping the help of the next picture to ensure that the film does not move
automatically .
Thus, the shutter is prepared to be fired again without moving any part of the film.
You have to practice this method several times in order to be able to implement it accurately ⏹

⏺ Flash ( WOC 220 CA )

I own a (WOC CA 220) flash. I do not know exactly the extent of its capabilities and capabilities, as unfortunately the instructions recorded on it and their numbers are no longer clear. Can you, even if only roughly, guide me a little on how to use it and what is the appropriate aperture (F) for different distances, noting that I own a Yashica camera (GSN) F / 45 and this flash contains a small button that moves horizontally indicating 3 colors - blue, white, red - what is the significance of these signals? Thank you very much.

Flash photography with the adoption of an aperture lens is also supposed to pay attention to the importance of the ASA film sensitivity
For example, when adopting a film with a moderate speed - 100 aza, for example - the schedule is as follows:
For one meter F / 11 .
for two meters f / 8 .
For three meters f / 5,6 .
For four meters and above, F / 4 or 3,5

When adopting a film with a high sensitivity of 400 ASA, it becomes a degree increase over the previous table to MRTF / 16, and so on.
The three indicators are for adjusting the strength of the optical charge. The colors of the indicators differ from one company to another, and some of them are linked to a self-adjusting light sensor. These colored sites are used with programmed cameras.
Blue is used for close distances and has a light charge of light, compared to red and is used with automatic windings that require consecutive light charges. White: or “M” site for manual use and gives a medium charge. Red: It is used for long distances of five meters or more, due to the strength of its light charge ⏹

⏺ Video shooting and double shooting button with memory key

I intend to practice videography, so please advise me of any type of camera to start my hobby with.
I would also like to provide you with information about using the double shooting button in case you want to capture two scenes on one negative in the Nikon F3 camera and the memory key. Exposure reminder if location (8) is also used for the same camera.

In the double shooting: when capturing the first scene, the location of the double shooting button must be changed in the other direction, and then the image arm will be rotated, which means preparing the shutter to launch again without any movement of the film, and here you can shoot again on the same negative.
In the second stage, you have to pay attention to the exposure. So that the exposure is supposed to be lower so as not to get a dark negative or to exercise less exposure in the first stage, by one degree.
Therefore, during the double shooting, it requires the adoption of a manual shutter that enables you to adjust the exposure as needed.
As for the memory key, you have to go back to issue 30, where the full details of this camera are. For video cameras, you did not mention the structure you want, if it is for home work. That is, with the presence of a video device, so that you only have to buy a camera, and there are good types, including (Sony), (Olympus) and (Canon), and if you want a device for all occasions, then adopt the camera and the recorder at the same time, which saves you transportation and carrying operations

⏺ Institutes and books for photographic teaching

Please provide me with the addresses of the institutes that teach photographic art in our Arab world and in Britain and France. Can I obtain a book in Arabic to teach the method of acidification and enlargement?
I also have a PATERSON amplifier that I could not understand, and I did not find anyone able to help me. Can you help me with anything? Thank you.

Unfortunately, there is no official institute for teaching photography and its arts in the Arab world, and we have invited more than once those with financial capabilities to
Adopt such a project.. As for the technical capabilities, they are available in abundance, but their owners lack the financial ability to implement such a project.
For foreign institutes, we mention the addresses of some of the teaching institutes in France
We mention:
Educatel 1083, route de Neufchâtel 3000X - 76025 Rouen Cedex france
And another institute:
Ecole efet 110, rue de Picpus 75012 Paris

With regard to the London institutes, we mention the International Institute, the New York Institute of Photography, the London branch - whose address is:
New York Institute of photo graphy NLG 51, 18-20 High Road London N226 BX. England

As for the book of acidification and printing in Arabic, it is not available in the market, especially since there are modern methods and equipment that were not mentioned in the old books: so I advise you to go back to the first issues of the magazine, where there is a full explanation through the preparation of the magazine for all printing and acidification processes ⏹

⏺ Canon is new and enlarged for all uses!

welcome .
I would like to buy a “Canon” camera, so what is its latest model and what is the price of this camera? What is the price of the amplifier, and how can I get it with the camera from Lebanon.

Hammam Magni
Jericho - Syria

The latest model from Canon, which has a medium build for amateurs, is (Canon T70), and we have already referred to it in previous issues.
As for the amplifier, we recommend the Durst amplifier, which has good technology, in addition to the availability of spare parts for it.
If the amplifier for home work is a small size, the best choice in relation to the price is (Durst - C35).
But if the magnifier is for professional work. We advise you to: (707 Durst M) or (Durst M805), bearing in mind that determining the quality of work in black and white or color means a big financial difference.

As for the prices, we apologize for not mentioning them, as this confuses us, as prices are on a moving scale and are not stable.
As for, Canon, it is available in Beirut markets ⏹
