Red Light District

I know it's a bit (experi)mental, but I like the way the red neon light seems to have spread out into the air itself - making this literally a red light district....

 

This Polaroid experiment follows the suggestion of cowe, who is one of the great Flickr Pola-masters, and whose work I urge you to check out. Cowe pioneered the technique where you use an SX70 camera with 600 film and, crucially, no filter! The effect of this is to over-expose the film, which is why most people (myself included) generally prefer to use a filter. But in certain circumstances, especially low-light & night photography, over-exposure can be extremely dramatic!
