A Reddit user recently shared a striking set of film photos taken at Glastonbury Festival 2023 that accidentally became creative double exposures. A mix-up between a fresh film roll used at Glasto and an older one from a trip to Greece generated surreal, layered images—like a boat mysteriously floating in the sky amidst iconic festival scenes.
Commenters were quick to admire several standout frames, especially one featuring the festival’s vibrant, rainbow-colored helter-skelter ride. This classic British fairground fixture, located in Kidzfield, doubles as a favorite lookout spot over the stages. The 2023 Kidzfield area also included whimsical additions like dolphin and dragon slides, plus roaming animals such as llamas, owls, and cats, all enhancing the magical, playful spirit of the event.
Curiosity about the camera and film technique sparked enthusiasm, tapping into a renewed love for analog photography’s nostalgic texture and serendipitous effects. This accidental double exposure style is becoming a popular artistic choice among film enthusiasts for its unpredictably beautiful outcomes.
Check out the full Reddit thread for these unexpected gems and a glimpse of Glastonbury 2023 through a wonderfully distorted analog lens.
