LCA+ and Holga with KODAK EliteChrome is Now my Favorite Combination

Lomo World Congress 2007 in London gave me a chance to practice several camera, film and processing combinations and I finally found my best gears for photos I like: LCA+ or Holga (with 135mm film back), KODAK EliteChrome (EL-2), cross processed with a lot of double exposures.
The color doesn't vary a lot from original except that the developed pictures have very high color and contrast.  They all look like being adjusted in Photoshop but they weren't.  The most important element is still lighting, lots of good lights even at night time.
When lighting is enough, depth of field is so large both close objects and the reflection from the infinity are captured very sharply.  In this case, a restaurant "open" signage behind the window and the reflection of the buildings and sky are so perfectly sitting together, totally not a double exposure despite its look.
With the new capability of double exposure from LCA+ and its original superb lens, great effects can be achieved.  This helped me to build up more confidence to try more double exposure effects.
In this double exposure case, Mr. Gerald Matt, director of Kunsthalle Wien in Austrian Cultural Forum London, was giving a lomo talk on "The Making of a Good Exhibition".  The first shot was done on the chandelier which the area of the film where the lamps were posted was properly exposed while the rest of the film is still under exposed, giving room for the second exposure of Gerald and the dim room.  Now I have a formula to make nice double exposure pictures.

You see this camera/film/processing combination works also great for places like Brick Lane where there are a lot of colorful graffiti.  However, doubling 2 graffit in one picture results in messy picture.

I had not much success for back lighted photos both digitally and on film.  However because of the high contrast cross processing can give, a shot like this becomes a lot more attractive and back lighted scenes are not something to avoid anymore.
Now I wish we have more blue sky days in Hong Kong so that I can get my favorite color into many of my pictures.
