Topic: Polaroid - the bit that's left after you peel apart

[choppert]

Tally ho!

Here's a photo of the residual image left on some instant Fuji film after the peel apart image is made.  Apologies for the subject matter, proof of concept and all that!

Remotely interesting?  Suppose it could be viewed as being so, given that the image itself had disappeared within about five minutes.

Have I stumbled upon a new and exciting photographic art form that we can elaborate?  Or have I got too much time on my hands?  (I think I know the answer to that one!)

Cheers,



Chops

Looks intriguing - the conventional wisdom has been that the Fuji peel-aparts don't "goop" well, except for the FP-3000b. Precisely because of what you encountered - the ghost image goes black on the 100 films within a few minutes. You can find lots of examples of what people have been doing with the "bit that's left after you peel apart" by searching for polaroid and goop. I say - keep experimenting with this!

you can "goop" with many types of positive only pack films. on flickr there's a group called Polaroid Goop. you can get the lowdown on a few different techniques there.

Hello,

I don't think I gooped, or if I did it was over in a flash.

All I did was lazily take a photo of the leftover image before it disappeared.

Is that a revelation, revolution or just laziness?

Then it's not actually "goop."

Take a look at moominsean's link and the thread for flickr I have above.  Great fun and beautiful shots await you !!  And, yes, fuji's films goop just fine.

here's an example of polaroid type 664 I gooped, with only a trace of an image on the back and 2 swift steps of post-processing in PS.

looks like goop to me...just the goop before it fades!
