This was the first photo I made with my Polaroid BIG SHOT using Fuji FP 100c Film and a magicube, of course. I can't begin to tell you how thrilled I was when I peeled this image from the negative.....going to have a lot of fun with this camera!

The main entrance to the Duchess China Works on the Uttoxeter Rd, Longton - one of the very few remaining manufacturers of fine bone china still extant after the collapse of the ceramics industry in the 1980's. This fine Victorian factory on the High St., Longton (renamed Uttoxeter Rd in the '50's) is best known for the low priced bone china tableware produced under the name Duchess China since 1934, firstly by A.T.Finney & Sons Ltd. then latterly by the Tams Group and Grimwades Ltd. Seeking to expand the business, in 1939 Finney's purchased the Blyth Porcelain works half a mile further along the High St when the Directors of the latter decided to wind up the business the year before. Blyth Porcelain itself was started c1888 as the Dresden Porcelain Co by Mary Forester, wife of Thomas Forester of Phoenix Pottery Works, King St., Longton, in partnership with two others. Dresden Porcelain Co changed the name to the Blyth Porcelain Company in 1903. A.T. Finney & Sons Ltd. also owned the Blue Bell Works, adjacent to the Duchess China factory, since 1921. John and Tom Finney took over from their father in 1947 and ran the business for a number of years before selling to John Tams Group PLC in 1989. Ten years later Tams went into receivership and Duchess China was purchased out of administration by Grimwades Ltd (makers of Royal Winton). In 2018 Royal Winton closed down and Duchess China was purchased by current owners Jason Simms and Andrew Tooth, himself a former Duchess employee from the mid 90's. The company continues to produce fine bone china today; in a reference to the Dresden Porcelain Company the back stamp is the ‘Duchess’ name surmounted by a crown and the words ‘Established 1888’. Taken with a 1976 Polaroid SX-70 Land Camera Alpha 1 on Polaroid (TIP) film.

The scanner couldn't cope with the dynamic range and refused to identify the full Pola frame, so we get this today.
Last of the Pola Poppies tomorrow, and then it'll be all over. (For now... That is, the pola versions will be...)
Posting this upon request...so Sarah and I have the same job (theatre) and often we get asked if we're sisters because we have a lot lot lot of the same mannerisms. But she is the better model and I am the better photographer. We both are awesome at crafts, though.
This is the original "Polaroid SX-70 Land Camera". It is a folding single lens reflex instant camera which was produced by Polaroid from 1972 to 1981. It was the first camera made by Polaroid to utilize the SX-70 format of integral print film.
The SX-70 format was revolutionary for a number of reasons. The main idea behind the SX-70 format was to have a hassle and mess-free instant film and camera system. Unlike previous Polaroid films, the developing and fixing chemicals, negative and print are all contained within a sealed plastic envelope. With earlier Polaroid films it was possible for the photographer to unpeel the film too early and ruin the print or get chemicals on his or her fingers. The instruction manual for the Polaroid Sentinel Swinger warned the user to carefully follow the procedure for taking, ejecting and developing prints or: "you are headed for plenty of picture taking trouble". With the SX-70, once the photographer takes a picture the print is automatically ejected from the camera and is developed mess-free within the envelope. Another innovative feature of the SX-70 film pack was that it contained the battery used to power the camera's electronics. This means that each time the photographer changed the film pack they were also changing the battery.
The SX-70 features a folding body design, a 4-element glass lens, a fixed aperture of f/8 and an automatic exposure system. The camera's manual focus allows the photographer to focus as close as 10.4inches (26.4cm) away. The electronic shutter speed has a range from 1/176 to 10 seconds. A number of accessories were also released for the SX-70 including a tele-photo lens attachment, a close-up kit, a self-timer, external flash and a tripod adaptor.
