Harris Shutter, Pt. 2: Multiple Exposure

For these shots I used my home made Harris Shutter, and exposed one color, then move the object, and exposed another color. None of these photos are edited in any way. As my camera does not have the ability to do a "true" double exposure, I replaced the lens cap during the exposure.

 Notice the color in the star trails.

 Rainbow Fire...

 San Francisco subway. Unfortunately, I did not have my tripod on me, which makes for very bad pics.

Completed Harris Shutter, made with duct tape, construction paper, and some color filters I found.

This past week I built a Harris Shutter, based off of a few different descriptions and ideas I had read. The idea of a Harris Shutter is to expose a photo through Red, Blue, and Green filters, and capture some form of movement. Most all of what I was able to find online was done using photoshop, however, as I am a bit of a photo purist, I decided to give a go at building one. Please forgive me for the low quality of these images, as I am still experimenting! I hope to post a few more shots, and a complete tutorial on how to build and use a Harris Shutter in the next few days.
