Bud's Barber Shop in Edinboro, PA is today's image for Friday, the final day of 'Roid Week. I was hoping to share a few more film types this week but as luck would have it I haven't got to shoot much else this week. As always, though, I will continue to post all of my instant work here - 'Roid Week was fun, but, it's not the only time us die-hards shoot instant film (or any film for that matter).
This image again was shot with an SX70 using and ND pack filter. The film type is Impossible Project's PX680 V4B test film, and, as great as this film looks the new PX70 V4B opacification test film looks even better. Luckily, I just happened to order 4 packs of it this morning.
Stay tuned for a full write up sometime in the next week or two...
Today's 'Roid Week photo is from a little "Antique" shop in the small town of Cambridge Springs, PA. Unfortunately, this place was mostly filled with junk and a few random produce items scattered about the isles. Still, the sign was pretty nice.
Like yesterday, this image was shot on an SX70 using an ND pack filter using the Impossible Projects PX680 V4B test film. It was left unshielded as it ejected out of camera in full daylight and then left to fully developed in my pocket as I continued to walk about.
This week is the official 2012 'Roid Week. In the spirit of the event, I will likely be posting a new image everyday (except monday) and will also be trying to keep my write-ups for each day shorter than normal. If you'd like some more info on 'Roid Week 2012 you can check out The Flickr Page or read this informative and fun little newsletter that the Impossible Project put out recently.
Today's photo is from this past weekend and it is of the Swings at Waldameer Park in Erie PA. Shot on an SX70 using an ND pack filter this photo was taken using the Impossible Projects PX680 V4B test film and was left unshielded as it ejected out of camera in full daylight and then left to fully developed in my pocket. These swings in particular might look familiar from one of my more popular photos from last year that you can check out here.
That's all for today, but, come back for more instant fun tomorrow.
It's been a couple of posts since I've put up any Impossible Project scans - a rarity for this blog. Today though, I have a shot using the Impossible Project PX70 NIGO film that I shot with my Polaroid SX-70 Sonar. I took this photo yesterday while in the tiny little town of West Middlesex Pennsylvania. Before heading back to Cleveland after a fun fourth of July back in my hometown we took a little detour over the PA border to stop in a couple different antique stores and flea markets. While I didn't find anything great, I did come across this Texaco sign which made for a nice quick photo.
Also, I got an email yesterday that my cross processed film from the Analog Pulse event here in Cleveland has been finished and posted to an online gallery - at first glance they look great, and, I will be going through them soon and choosing favorites to post up here on the blog. Stay tuned!
I was going through my hard drives this morning as I do from time to time looking for images that may have been overlooked for one reason or another. Taken in April of 2011 during a weekend trip these images never got posted due to the fact that I had taken and shot with multiple cameras, and, ultimately came back with tons of images that I decided to post instead. I guess one thing led to another and I shot more images, posted more images, and again, left these sitting on a hard drive un-cut, un-cropped and un-posted.
Funny thing is, I have thought about posting these multiple times over the last year. I never forgot about them and I actually like them quite a bit... they just always seem to be replaced by something else. So finally, since I haven't shot many other things recently, I have decided to pull these out and get them up on the blog.
As I mentioned at top, these were taken almost exactly one year ago. Shot with a Polaroid 250 on the now discontinued Fuji FP-100B these photos were taken at a beautiful bed and breakfast up in Pennsylvania called The Galloping Inn - a historic farmhouse built in the 1860's. It just so happens that this great little place is owned by the CEO of the company I work for here in Cleveland - so, every once in a while, I get to head up there with some friends for a weekend. I won't get into too much detail here, but if you are looking for a relaxing place to get away and find yourself in Northwest Pennsylvania area you should definitely check it out.
As for this film... well, if you haven't ever shot it and you are a fan of the Fuji peel apart films I would recommend that you get ahold of some before it disappears completely. There is definitely a similarity to Fuji's FP-3000B, but, the 100 speed seems to hold a better dynamic range. It's probably also worth mentioning, thought common knowledge to most, that the slower speed of this film makes it much better suited for shooting during the day in full sun - something slightly more difficult with the 3000 speed Fuji unless you have full manual control or a camera capable of high shutter speeds.
