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.

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 Project PX680 Test Film V4B - 'Roid Week - Swings

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.

Impossible Project PX 70 Color Shade - Polaroid Walk Follow Up

During a post from last week, I talked about Aperture's first ever Polaroid Walk in honor of Polaroid Week as well as my first experiences with the Impossible Project's PX70 Color Shade. I thought I would do a little follow up to share a few more of the photos from that days walk. 


The first, seen above, is a photo of an arcade bowling game at Prosperity Social Club. Being indoors without a tripod, this image was shot perched atop a bar stool and had an exposure of around 2-3 seconds. I always find that I get really nice colors with long exposures (or, if nothing else, warmer, contrasty colors). Another long exposure from that night (below) was shot in near darkness with just about a 14 second exposure. I shot this little piano with my SX70 propped up on a wallet and tabletop while inside the Literary Cafe.

I did take a couple outdoor shots along the way as well. The first, being a very good example of the color that can be pulled out of the new PX70, was someone's bright yellow front door. And then there's a set of two images taken along one of Tremont's sidewalks... a simple paper lantern and a tree wrapped in lights.

Of course I wasn't the only person walking the neighborhood and shooting Impossible's film that day... As luck would have it, I convinced my girlfriend (we'll call her Tiffany) to come along as well despite having never picked up a polaroid camera before. Aperture was nice enough to be loaning out cameras for the walk, and Tiffany got to shoot the Impossible PX70 as well using a non-folding SX70 Button. Even though I have never posted anyone else's work on my blog before, I thought these two images were a great example of the new PX70 and how wonderfully saturated the colors can be... not to mention, these photos are pretty nice for her first outing with instant film.

Impossible Project PX600 BlackFrame PP - Little World

This idea has been in my head for a while now. I've been contemplating exactly how I would do it, and what would look the most realistic. So, a couple weeks ago I shot a little test shot and went from there. Today I finally shot the first of what I hope to become a larger series that I'm calling "Little World." This was the second photo that I took int his setup after only one small adjustment.


As of right now, I'm not going to detail how exactly I shot this... but, I will say that it was achieved in camera with no manipulation in post. I scanned this photo direct out of camera, resized and posted. Later on down the road, I will go into a little more detail and post the process behind this and future shots.


Hope you like... and for this, I recommend a click through for a full view...
