First play with a Polaroid M403R passport camera. Four Different shots on one print... Bargain...

Decisions, decisions?
Off for a couple of weeks so here, by way of an "adieu" is a square crop from a Canon F1-N using a 200mm f2.8 - whilst walking down Regent Street in London a couple of months ago:
-
Both make me smile.
I remember those 4 in 1 Polaroids, had my ID card taken with one in 1990, and the person taking it said I looked like James Hurley in Twin Peaks in it. I was made up !
Oh that was a long time ago ...
-
Two signs taken during today's (85km) bike ride - One makes me angry the other makes me smile - I'll leave you to decide which is which.

多謝! Skj.

Still catching up with scanning! Holga with red filter on Kodak bwcn. Arkansas
-
Noominsean, love that second one. Interesting building.
Phil, great tones there
Two from the Pentax 67, in Mallorca. Using Portra 160nc 220 which is quite Ok, having 20 shots instead of 10. Very little editing on the first one, none in the second one (oh my god, did you say no editing - yes doctor - that could be dangerous - indeed - is there any cure? - There is none - I knew it!! - You should go back to digital, I am afraid -But... I cannot!!! Coming from digital I am starting to like the raw film look, and trying not to saturate or contrast too much.
-
Well, Calbisu, whatever you are or indeed are not doing is working. That first shot is wonderful, the colour is outstanding.
-
Have just started to scan some of my pinholes taken on a recent jaunt to sunny Suffolk.
Taken on my Zero 2000 with PanF and souped in Prescysol EF (partial stand)

Love the shot, Paul. You might want to upload slightly smaller as it isn't all fitting on the template.

Thanks Phil, have linked something a little more sensible

Nice one, Paul.
-
Wahey! Lovely shot Paul.
-
I'm lovin all of these, that pinhole is exquisite.
-
Miller, that shot scares me. :)
Yeah, it scared me at first ;D
I took this in Paris - Holga 120S
-
Ode to road markings and Walker Evans, though no indecision on this one L to the D..... ;)
-
Friday with Alastair Cook and his wife Emma Franks - I need to work out which I keep and which they get - the choice is harder with the image of Emma.
-
Miller, I'm digging that.
Carl, wonderful stuff. 2 and 4 and just wonderful.
-
Went for a walk by the Delaware & Raritan Canal this morning
-
LOL! Was just going to list all my favorites in my post until I realized I was writing down everybodys name. HAHAHA!!! These are all so wonderful!
-
Another thread of great photies. Particularly like Suzi's Holga and Paul's pinhole shots :)
Keeping with the 'road' theme here's another 2 from Friday's Bike ride taken using my Rollei 35B - both are 'A' roads ;)

Hi all,
Just developed a roll of Tri-X in my usual 90 minutes stand in 1:126 HC110
Here's a snap of some greenhouse merriment, the highlights look awfully light! Does it look right? ??? What could have caused that? Other than the film's latitude to all those different shades? Has it been well developed?
(Don't worry about it looking blurred, I think that's to do with my scanner!)
Chops
-
Thanks for all your kind comments on my pinhole everyone.
Suzi - Love the Holga image, timeless... could have been taken in 1910 not 2010
Carl - Your images are an inspiration as always!
Windy - love the feeling of desolation in your images... am up in the outer Hebrides in Nov so may bump into you on the bike... well not literally... otherwise I'd be arrested wouldn't I!
Paul
-
a great show already this weekend. Paul - a superb first-post pinhole pic - keep them coming please :)
Carl - all four are great, but I prefer the close-ups. Just seem to work better.
I, as per usual, have not produced much in recent weeks. I promise to do better in the future.
-
Nice weekend work by all . . . again.
Holga + Shanghai100 + Caffenol-c + pushed 2 stops

I've got to say I'm with Mohave! Haha, I wish I could list everyone!
Phil! That inky sky is a dream!
Sean and Calbisu - love the colors
Carl - All are exquisite, but I have to say I have been lost for what seems ages in the beautiful close ups of the faces...
-
Been scanning all week... last month's beach pics :)
-
Those shots are awesome Ann!!! Wow. Is that a tilt-shift lens on a Polaroid camera?
-
Great images Ann!
-
Ann, these are wonderful!
-
Och ann, am blown awa wi yer fotis 8) 8)
-
Ann!! Love them...so sunny and happy, i want to be there.
Just taken on the SX70..nightmare film or i'm rubbish but sometimes i get something i like.
-
Carl, did you decide which ones to keep?
I'm just curious :)
-
Vicky, it's shite film, cus you ain't rubbish!
-
Ann
OUT-STAN-DING! ;D
-
@ Vicky - my thoughts are 2 and 3. Two is obvious and 4 would always have been my immediate choice apart from that being predictable and I need to break this habit to some degree. Emma's clavicles (?) and pendant are very strong. Any thoughts?
-
Crikey, masses of great stuff, the colours with Calibisu and Ann especially.
Sue's Holga, Windy's roads, Skoj's blur and, and, and. Will scan some colour from the Canon SS A1 I "wore" when scootering to Dieppe last week.
Miles ...
-
Carl, good choice, I agree...2 without question and also 3 for the reason you said (i tend to choose closer too but try to think to pull back sometimes, it's hard though) but also because i think 3 is a stronger picture, it has more directness and interest than 4, imo.
-
Phil, it's such a shame, i really love the camera but i feel like i might as well be pretending to take a picture for the results i'm getting.
-
Thanks everyone! I shot FP100 C med format in my 4x5 Speed Graphic with the Aero Ektar lens :) Made a lot of friends on the beach those days ;))
-
Vicky that pola is a DREAM!!!
-
still working through my negatives from lithuania. here's one taken in Vilnius' "autonomous free zone" I like. I can't remember what the area was called, and I missed the memorial statue of Frank Zappa !
-
Ok Ann, Im on the ebay hunt to find out what just exactly what you're talking about because right now, I have no idea!! LOL!
And Vicky, that shot you posted is totally awesome! I think I know what you mean about feeling like you're only pretending to take pix sometimes. I get like that with the Holga and now with the Polas. But god, do I love the Polas. I had no idea I was going to love them so much. I never liked them as a kid. I cant believe I didnt like them. What was I thinking?!!! ::)
-
On the way to Dieppe. Expired Kodak, Canon SS A1.
Miles ...
-
Have to agree about Ann's Polaroids... wonderful! I can just imagine no.3 as a huge enlargement
Paul
-
Ouch!!! Ann, I will not repeat what others said, but... I need a speed graphic with aero ektar and pola back just now!!!!!! : )) Love the second one, and yes, hang on my wall would look sweeeeeet :P
-
Wow Calbisu, Paul, Mojave - thank you for the boost of confidence :) I had looked for a solid 9 months before I put her altogether over 2yrs ago.
-
yeah sweet. i've just started getting into this 4x5 stuff. the kodak lens looks very tempting. will work with what i have a bit longer, shoot some film, figure out the tilt-shift thing. the rangefinder doesn't work on mineand i haven't used the focusing screen yet, so i've just been guessing distance so far...
(edit: this picture was supposed to show up via flickr but didn't show up!)
-
Y'all amaze me! I have no idea how this stuff works but with all of you around to help, Im going to start reading up.
-
Sean, Mojave - Large format cam movements still baffle me, but the great thing is being able to see what you're going to get on the ground glass (albeit upside down). I just fiddle around until I like what I see. :)
-
Original_ann,
those beach scenes are magic, very well done !
-
Three from Saturday
-
Couple more from Provence. Toyocaflex. Second monkey'd with.
Miles ...
-
Outstanding stuff as always, but Ann Ann Ann - I'm GOBSMACKED by your images!
-
Gobsmacked?!! HAHAHA!!! Love that.
Nice new editions all!
Ann, was checking out those cameras on Ebay and they arent too badly expensive. Too rich for my blood at the moment, but I can see me buying one in the future. Thanks for all the wonderful info on the camera and most especially thank you for sharing your beautiful work!!
-
Ailsa I use that word all the time when I'm absolutely blown away by an image and Mojave, both of you so kind... THANK you!! ;D
-
Great pictures !
And you do all this in one week-end ?!
-
from yesterday...i was messing about with very low shutter speeds and got ths one of my youngest...he's got a james dean look going on at the moment and the star hanging from the light seemed to suit.
hassy hp5.
-
oh my word Vicky! He HAS transformed into the James Dean era!
-
Just a couple from my week-end.
First swimming in the 'bubble'

Vicky I think its more young Elvis, certainly 1950's feel– I love the star!
-
ann and mark, he's defiitely somewhere between the two...i'm just glad he likes it :)
-
Mark - that top image is really cool... it's quite a surreal enclosure
Have lots of images of my son dodging the surf at Southwold... he's more likely to be in a deckchair with his iPod now!

Paul
It's a plastic bubble, kept up by continuously pumped air, it's an amazing experience swimming in there very echoic rather like being in a giant ping pong ball....
I'm enjoying my kids while they're young, they grow so fast- my youngest (5) wants an ipod for her birthday next month!
not sure...

Seems to have been a great weekend for lost of FWs :)

Carl
I just wanted to add how much I like your portraits, tintypes? they are totally wonderful.

from a recent Gig
-
Top gig shots and really like the pool in the bubble. One of the beach on the way to Dieppe on the Vespa. Canon Sureshot A1 underwater camera and expired Kodak VR400.
Miles ...
-
Wow, tons of good stuff this past weekend! Tonight we have a really big shoe for you ;)
-
Miles--"beach" "Dieppe" and "Vespa" in one sentence! How cool is that, I ask.
-
Probably not as cool as it sounds ;D ;D ;D
Miles ...
-
Looks pretty cool in the photo. I like the surreal colors--when I've shot outdated color stock everything just seemed to go blue. But your clifftops have a nice saturated green going on that's stunning. Was the place itself as nice as the photo?
-
I'm trying to think which beach it was, it was on the "out" as it were, Berck or Le Touquet maybe. It was lovely, lucky with the weather etc. Some of the expired film is indeed awful, especially the charity shop stuff, though it's useful for testing and costs almost nothing. I've even resorted to converting it to B&W in GIMP if it's too bad and quality isn't an issue.
Miles ...
-
Hi Miles
We went to Pas-de-Calais this summer too; where did you stay? Your picture looks more like Cap Gris-nez to Wimereux seashore as the beaches aren't stony at Berk or Le Touquet.
Mark
-
We stayed at Veules les Roses about 15 miles down from Dieppe and toured around a bit, Pourville and Puys to see all the "Green Beach" and Dieppe Raid stuff as I'd just read a book on the Canadians there, and I wanted to vist my parents old house in St. Vaast (Nr. Neufchatel en Bray).
You're not wrong about Berck etc either ! I've taken lots of pics there with the baby Yash and the Fed4 and got confused :-\
We did do the coast road on the way back, so Wissant and Wimereaux and the Batterie Todt but I though I took that pic on the way down so would't have stopped off that early.
Miles ...
-
Thinking it's actually Pourville ...

okay not the weekend but i have to show people because otherwise i'll explode :o

:D I stuffed an instax film into an sx-70. woohoo!! sx-70 LIVES! :D well until i run out of battery power on the cartridges but am using the Impossible ones currently anyway...
-
Wait.. Instax fits / works in an SX70 Heather? Any mods necessary to do! (Beautiful!)

It's an awful awful embarrassing faff. Here's the really long directions I used
http://www.flickr.com/photos/polapix/2328453771/
Basically... you need an empty cartridge for the sx-70 at a minimum. I'm using my instax to store the unexposed ones and being very careful reloading it.
Put a bit of thick tape over the end of the sx-70/600/Impossible cartridge so the sx-70 can't eject anymore.
get everything in your darkbag/darkroom. Take one unexposed sheet out of the instax cartridge... stuff it in the sx-70 cartridge... load it in the camera. Put away the rest of the instax safely in the dark. Take the sx-70 loaded up and shove it in the sx-70 (it'll whirr like it's trying to get rid of a darkslide. it shouldn't eject anything though or else you'll end up with a mess).
Take picture.
put everything back in the bag, take the cartridge out of the sx-70, take the instax out of the sx-70 cartridge, put it back in the instax cartridge, then put it in the instax camera. you can take everything out of the bag now. Turn on camera, stuff the front of the camera into your leg/sofa/anything to block out light to rule out double exposure (unless you like that), then it'll pop out and develop.
It's really longwinded but once you've done it once (then messed up then realised what you did wrong) it's not so bad.
And it's such pretty colours.
Oh and the pictures turn out reversed/backwards. Doesn't really matter for the plant picture. Will matter if you have any text.

Expired Elitechrome on the beach.
