Just shoot and shake!

The Polaroid Photography Collective has a number of links to some great galleries. The multi-shot panoramas are especially nice. {some images may be nsfw}

I don't know if David Hockney (yes, the painter/everbody in the renaissance used a camera obscura! guy) invented that technique, but he sure put out a cool book full of them in the early 80's.

Yoni Kifle got a double exposure on a Polaroid! How on earth can you do that? Also, Robert Sturman has a technique (pushing around the emulsion) that he uses to great effect with Polaroids.

tellurian, it's easy with the older Polaroid Land Cameras because you have to manually rip the film out. You can take multiple shots before you do so.

There are some really fantastic shots here. I'm looking thru the Mike Brodie galleries now--he seems to be the only one selling prints.

Why do people think it's good to shake Polaroids?

David Hockney

Check out the 'David Hockney Portraits' exhibit currently at Boston's MFA.

I kinda like the ones from Armand Boets with the dirty roller edge.

*sigh* I've always wanted to try that technique so finally after all this time I purchased a Polaroid camera that takes time zero film only to find out Polaroid has discontinued the film ... bastards

Oh man, I love polaroids. Multiple exposures are actually pretty simple on most polaroid cameras. One of my cameras has a multiple exposure option, but I rarely use it.
