Expired Polaroid Softtone - Polaroid Spectra - Ashley 01

Today I have a few expired Polaroid Softtone images that I took this past weekend with Ashley Krantz. Ashley's a model that I have been working with for quite a few  years now and she was nice enough to bring along some awesome wardrobe to this shoot from Lenni The Label. In these four photos, Ashely is sporting some lacey bell bottoms from Lenni. More images with more Lenni coming soon. Enjoy.

 

Expired Polaroid ID Ultraviolet Film - Polaroid 250 - Suzy 2

So, three days ago when I said check  back tomorrow for more images with Suzy... what I really meant was check back in three days. It's better to round out your Friday with some polaroids anyways. Here's two more shots on expired Polaroid ID UV film. Taken with the Polaroid 250. Enjoy.

Impossible Gen 2.0 Color 600 Film Test Batch - SX70 Sonar - Polaroid Week 3

Rounding out Polaroid Week, here are three quick snaps from last night. Impossible's Gen 2.0 Color 600 test film, shot in and SX70 Sonar with an ND pack filter. Unshielded out of camera and left upright to watch them develop. The photo at top was taken with the Mint for SX70 Macro Lens. Enjoy.

Expired Polaroid Type 57 - Graflex Crown Graphic - Self

As something a little different for today's Polaroid Week post, I thought I'd take and share a self-portrait... though I should say semi-self-portrait as I had to have my wife come out and man the release cable for me. I would definitely have to say the self-portrait is definitely not my strong suit. Shot with a Graflex Crown Graphic and some expired Polaroid Type 57.

Impossible Gen 2.0 Color 600 Film Test Batch - SX70 Sonar - Polaroid Week 2

Two more images to share for Polaroid Week. These are, again, Impossible's Gen 2.0 Color 600 test film, shot in and SX70 Sonar with an ND pack filter. Unshielded out of camera and left to develop upside down. Enjoy.

Impossible Gen 2.0 Color 600 Film Test Batch - SX70 Sonar - Polaroid Week

Since it's Polaroid week 2014, I decided to try and take a few photos last night so that I would have something to share. Here's a few images that I took using my second pack of Impossible's Gen 2.0 Color 600 test film in a Polaroid SX70 Sonar with ND pack filter. My lovely wife was kind enough to stand in for a few minutes and model for these couple shots. More images (hopefully) coming later this week. Stay tuned. 

Impossible Gen 2.0 Color 600 Film Test Batch - SX70 Sonar - Isola 2

As a quick follow up to Tuesday's post on the new Impossible Gen 2.0 Color 600 test film - here are two more images that I shot that same day with Isola. Shot with an SX-70 Sonar and ND pack filter, available light, unshielded out of camera and processed upside down. Enjoy. 

Impossible Project PX600 Black Frame - Mint Close Up Lens - Photography Still Life 2

Following up my post from Monday, here are a few more shots using the Mint Close-Up Lens in tandem with a pack of Impossible Projects PX600 Black Frame film. No real theme this time, just a few things from around the house. Enjoy. 

Impossible Project PX600 Black Frame - Photography Still Life

Yesterday afternoon I decided to get out my SX70 Sonar and an older pack of Impossible's PX600 Black Frame that I had sitting in the fridge so that I could play around a little more with the Close-up Lens from the  Mint Lens Set for SX70. I shot an entire pack, but for today I will just be sharing these three photos that are kind of related in content. I have to say, the close-up lens really does open up some new shoot opportunities and I'm really enjoying that particular lens attachment for still life. More images coming soon... Enjoy. 

Expired Polaroid ID Ultraviolet Film - Polaroid 250 - Marblehead Lighthouse

On Monday, my wife and I headed out of town and up to Marblehead (just outside of Sandusky) to avoid the insanity of Cleveland St. Paddy's day and to celebrate my birthday on the down low. Here's one of the only instant photos that I took that day - the Marblehead lighthouse on expired Polaroid ID UV film with a Polaroid 250. Enjoy. 

Impossible Color Film For SX70 - Still Life

A couple weeks back, I shared a photo that I shot with a model using Impossible's new Color Film for SX70 (seen here) - And today, I thought I'd share some still life set ups from the remainder of that pack of film that I took this weekend. With these photos, I really wanted to see what kind of color I could eek out of this newest formula since I haven't shot with it much. I was really pleased with some of the results that I got. 

I should also point out that all of these images were shot using the new Mint Lens Set for SX70 - a neat little attachment that allows you to use different lenses/filters on your SX70. The full set consists of the lens holder, the Full-Frame Fisheye lens, Yellow Filter K2, Blue Filter 80B, a Neutral Density filter and the Close-Up Lens. While I haven't played with all of the different filters yet, I am very much enjoying the Close-up Lens (which is what I used on all three of these images). It's really opened up a new world of possibilities by allowing me to fill the frame in situations that I never would have been able to before (unless of course I purchased the old, harder to find, more expensive SX70 accessory kit and close up lens attachment). Over my next few packs of film, I hope to get the chance to work with a few of the other filters as well and post a little more about the Mint Lens Set and some of the things that I like and don't like about it. Stay tuned. 

Fuji FP-3000 B45 - Graflex Crown Graphic - Hillary

Last week I shared two different posts (here & here) of different instant photos that I shot with Hillary. The first was some of the new Impossible Color Film for SX70 and the second some expired Polaroid Type 57 large format film. Today I have my last instant photo from this session to share, one of my favorite films that I will miss greatly when I run out - Fuji FP-3000 B45. Enjoy. 

Expired Polaroid Type 57 - Graflex Crown Graphic - Hillary

Following up yesterday's Impossible Color Film for SX70 photos of Hillary, I thought I'd share one of the large format instant photo's that I took during the same shoot. This was shot with my Graflex Crown Graphic on some expired Polaroid Type 57. Enjoy. 

Impossible Color Film For SX70 - Hillary

For the first time in a long while, I finally got to shoot some film from Impossible. Now that my year long, roll a week project has come to a close, I've been hoping to get back to shooting a little more instant film. This past weekend, during a shoot with Hillary, I pulled out a new pack of Impossible's Color Film for SX-70. This is definitely my first time shooting with the newest formula, and while I didn't get an over abundance of color from the film, I did get very nice exposures. It's nice that this film has come such a long way and I no longer have to worry about shielding images out of camera, keeping them within a very small temperature rage, etc.

The final image of this set, at the bottom of the page, was also shot with the Mint Lens Set (found here)  - using the close up attachment. Mint was kind enough to send me a sample set months ago, and amidst my other project I never really got the chance to test it much. I look forward to working with these lenses more soon, and possibly providing some small review about them. For now, enjoy. 

Expired Polaroid 664 Film - Polaroid 250 - Cheyenne 2

As a quick follow-up to yesterday's post, I thought I'd share the other two images of Cheyenne that I took with my Polaroid 250 on expired Polaroid 664 film with available light. Enjoy. 

Expired Polaroid 664 Film - Polaroid 250 - Cheyenne Portraits

After a long 52 weeks, my year-long Roll-A-Week project (seen at Coalesce52) is finally over. It was a great, and sometimes tiring, experience that I'm glad I undertook. I'm equally excited, though, to return some of my attentions to this blog. My hope is to return to a more regular posting schedule here again this year and be able to share a wide selection of film and instant film along the way. I also have a few new goals for the year which hopefully provide me with some great new content to post. Until then though, on to today's photos...

These images, shot with my Polaroid 250 and some expired Polaroid 664, were taken a short while ago while working with a great new Cleveland area model, Cheyenne. I've been interested in getting back to lighting and shooting some simple portrait work in the studio and decided to my own simple crown of flowers for our shoot together. Of course, I shot a bunch of digital and some Kodak Tri-X as well, but today I thought I would share these instant images on their own. Enjoy. 

Expired Polaroid ID Ultraviolet Film - Polaroid 250 - Jackie

As a quick follow-up to my last post of Jackie shot on expired Polaroid 664, here's an additional image of Jackie that I shot on the one frame of expired Polaroid ID UV film that was still loaded in my Polaroid 250. Enjoy. 

Expired Polaroid 664 - Jackie

Just a few weeks ago I had the opportunity to shoot with Jackie, a new model from the Pittsburgh area. Though she said she's only been at this for a few months, she's really quite comfortable in front of the camera already and very easy to work with. While she was in town I took the chance to shoot some of my final pack of expired Polaroid 664 that I had in the fridge. Enjoy.

Expired Polaroid ID Ultraviolet Film - Emily

It's been nearly two months since I've had the chance to post to this blog. Things are pretty busy, I'm shooting a lot of film weekly for my year long roll-a-week project and I've all but neglected shooting instant film or posting to this site at all. That being said, when I do get the chance I try to continue to add some instant film into the mix of my work and do plan to post here more and more after the new  year when my year long project and other blog has come to a close. 

All that aside, here are a few images from my most recent shoot with the always talented Emily Wallace. I've worked with her a few times now and posted some other images of her on this blog earlier in year. These images were all taken with my Polaroid 250 and some expired Polaroid ID UV film. Enjoy.

Expired Polaroid Type 100 Chocolate - Jay Elle

Today's quick post is just a follow up to my previous post to share some of the remaining Polaroid Chocolate that I shot with Jay Elle this past weekend. For more info or to check out the first batch of photos that I posted - Click here.

Enjoy.
