September, 2011

I snagged this working Polaroid sun600 at the flea market for $3! How I love a good score that leaves enough change (holy crap!) to purchase film for it. Ideally, I wish to spot a working sx-70 polaroid to have more control of the photos depth of field and exposure. Until that time I’ll practice with the 600 to become more comfortable with shooting instant film. I ordered two packs of film from ‘Impossible’ to start off with, PX680 color shade/first flush and PX70 color shade. Here are my first results.

PX70 Color Shade:exposure set light all the way to the right.

PX 680 Color Shade/First Flush exposure: set center of the light setting

exposure: set light all the way to the right, surprised by the emulsion.

In other news I posted the new 2012 calendar: ‘2012 By the Sea’ in my Etsy Shop.

Twelve months by the sea in a durable display stand, or you may wish to place them on a fridge with a magnet, pin them on a corkboard, or even display on an easel. When the month has passed trim the photo for framing and enjoy! A lovely vibrant complement to brighten any workspace, home, or office during any season. Day dream of the sea, breathe in the fresh salt air as the sea laps against the shore.

Tomorrow morning I’ll be off on a road trip to Vermont for a few days, with rain coat and umbrella, according to the local forecasters, to welcome the season change of autumn crisp air and vibrant colored seasonal leaves.

Stay well my friend and you too have a blessed weekend!
