Polaroid isn't Impossible

I mentioned in this post that i was looking at doing some work with polaroid and my kids have had the arduous task of being at the glass end of the camera for this.

All of these were taken on my polaroid 600 Onestep Flash bought in 1997, with the B&W ones using Impossible 600 B&W film and the colour one here using Impossible 600 Colour film.

I love the tonality and softness to these, which have all been scanned using an Epson V330 Perfection, and the green/teal hint through the colour film is really atmospheric.

I love the light leaking around the bottom holding edge of these also, just so much more atmosphere than on digital images.

Expect to see more image with Colour Polaroid soon.

 

Testing Testing 1-2-3

It's been ages since i've done any real photography work and i'd been tempted to get back into things after doing some bottle photography at work.

whilst hunting through my camera collection at home i came across a couple of my old Polaroud cameras, a 600 OneStep Flash and an SX-70. Having a look at the local Jessops (closest supplier) they had some 600 B&W from Impossible Project so i thought i'd grab one and give it a try.

This shot of Rose St in Edinburgh, which any camera would struggle with the exposure with one side in bright sunshine and the other in shade, is one i'm actually pretty chuffed with.

More to come on this.
