Impossible Film
Instant Camera walk
Flickrmeetup teamed up with Photobooth SF for a fun photo walk using impossible film and polaroid cameras. My 'pulling' technique needs a lot of work. I need more muscle it seems for a smooth photo.But I am happy for a 'first time'. Great experience and loved having a photo to hold almost immediately.
You didn't think I would leave the Danbos behind did you! ^_^
SX-70 with PX 70 FF Color Shade instant film. This was selected by The Impossible Project as one in the top twenty showing off the new PX 70 First Flush Color Shade Instant Film.
One of two cameras in the collection that no longer works, the iconic folding SLR design of the Polaroid SX-70 Land Camera the one that started everything with instant integral film!

I was cleaning my shed today and found our 1969 Polaroid 'Colorpack II" Land Camera. Chad's folks gave it to us like 10 years ago, and I'd fiddled with it a bit when we lived in Jerome.
I couldn't remember where it was, but was certain it was somewhere in that shed-- and voila! It was there, tucked back behind a shelf of Volkswagen parts and old magazines. It had been there since 2001! And dadgummit, it still had a pack of film in it, only half used! I couldn't believe it! (Mainly because I cannot imagine I'd have such self control to not blaze through the entire pack-- I think it was more likely that I'd not had much patience with figuring out the subleties of proper exposure, temperature, etc,., and had given up on it--that seems more likely) Through summer heat and winter cold, out there in that shed.
I was so excited I quickly ruined 2 pieces of film before I realized the shutter wouldn't work unless the batteries were good-- after 10 years the film might still be workable but the batteries were no doubt done.
I carefully removed the film pack in a darkened pantry. I reached in and removed the salty old batteries,cleaned the terminals, put in 2 new AAs, and reinstalled the film pack -- test run with open back showed that big old shutter blinking at me like a winking eyeball. Yahoooey! All system go! (though kicking myself a little for wasting two precious shots)
This was the first shot that turned out at all. I think there are 3 more shots still in the camera. Anyone know where to find film for such a beast? I know production of it too has expired.

This Photograph that I took in September 1991 shows Madison Photo Plus in Madison, New Jersey, where I bought most of my Photography Equipment before 1996, when I still lived in New Jersey. Next door is Rocco's Pizza, where I often ate lunch when I worked in nearby Florham Park.
Disclaimer: I took these photos in September 1991 with my Minolta Maxxim 5000 SLR using Color Print Film, when I was just learning photograph; so they are very soft & grainy. I scanned the Color Negatives and used Photoshop Elements to correct the exposure and to generate these Digital Images.

I(We?) had a fun time (like after school for adults) there ;-))
This is an advertisement for Polaroid's line of "Countdown" Land Cameras from the October 1970 issue of the National Geographic magazine.
During the late 1960s and early 70s, Polaroid started including high-end features in their Land Cameras including automatic exposure and built-in development timers.
The camera shown is the Polaroid 350 Land Camera, which featured not only automatic exposure, but also a built-in automatic electronic timer (hence the "Beep" in the ad) to let the user know when the picture had finished developing. This feature solved two main problems which owners of early 100-400 series Land Cameras often experienced: the picture being either too light or too dark due to the darken/lighten switch not being properly adjusted to the lighting conditions, or the print being ruined by unpeeling it before development was complete.

想說的太多，能說的太少。當我想到前面這句話的時候，忽然覺得（我的）照片也是這樣。
當然以數量來說，我拍的照片算是少的。如果以零五年八月拿到生平第一台底片相機作為起點，過去六年來平均一年拍二十四卷照片。也就是說，將那些攤平，放在每一天的話，那麼我每天按下兩次快門再多一點。
有這麼多嗎？自己都開始懷疑起來。
借用誰曾經說過的：
有時候不帶相機，最後懊悔有這麼多好拍。有時候背著相機，結果也沒什麼好拍。很多時候在拍之前，充滿了我到底要不要拍這個的焦慮。更多則是在拍之後，充滿了我到底為什麼要拍這個的唏噓。
說得真好。
於是，在那五千張照片之中，大概計算了一下的結果，有五分之一我曾經放在Flickr上。換句話說我經常對著那另外的五分之四發呆，沉默著，一句話也說不出來。
唯一慶幸的是我還不曾遇見在動物園發現既優雅又威風的白老虎，結果相機裡面裝的是黑白底片，這種悲哀。

I had been planning and hoping to take these photos before my summer was up. I kept looking for chances to take these photos and after awhile they all fell into place. Each photo is now strung up by twine and clothes pins in my dorm room.
This bare tree, shining in the sunlight, (it was actually much brighter out than it looks in the picture), reminded me of the one in the final Lord Of The Rings movie, "The Return Of The King."
This was another camera in my collection that I didn’t think I would ever be able to use. Kodak stopped making film for it in the mid-1980s, and the special “J” battery they used is also no longer made. But I did have an old, empty cartridge that I loaded with some 120 film and managed to get it to take a picture. Without the battery, the shutter only had one speed and it was much too fast for the 400 speed film I used. The original film had an ASA rating of 150, so 400 should have been plenty enough speed, but it wasn’t. The camera really needs the battery so that it can set the right shutter speed. One thing I haven’t tried is to push some 400 speed film to 800 or 1600 and see if that works better. The negative for this image came out almost blank, it was so faint. By having to darken it up so much, it came out much too grainy. It looks like a picture from the 1800s! But I did get the camera to produce an actual image.
Taken with my hundred and twenty-seventh camera.

I got this look by dropping the print in hot water, the same as you would do for an emulsion lift, then as the emulsion layer barely started to bubble, i pulled it out the print and rubbed away the wet layer.
During the shut-down, Daisy has become my only model, and a rather reluctant one at that, unless---of course--- a treat is involved. Then she's somewhat cooperative. Still, when I point a camera at her she'll look every which way but at me, unless I say "cookie" and even then she's stubborn.

Calke Abbey is not an abbey by the way, it is a “stately home”. It was given over to the National Trust in 1985 on the condition that it was preserved in it’s then current stated of dilapidation and not restored.
