I am not at all impressed with this film. It's very grainy and it does not have a lot of contrast. Worse, my cousin looks like a purple smurfette in it. // I realized when people started asking that I should probably post the ISO I used... I used 100 ISO but these are shot at the beach so they're probably a tad overexposed like all beach shots are. xo
Before we left for Florida in May, we went on a camping trip to Joshua Tree. It's been a long time since I took some star trails photos so I decided to do some then. Unfortunately our campsite location was crappy (we were mostly surrounded by rocks and we were near the camp entrance - it was all we could find, most of the campgrounds were full) so I had rocks for foregrounds and I couldn't do longer exposures because cars kept passing us, overexposing my shots. I am lucky to have gotten 4 ok shots. //~~~// At least Joshua Tree is only a drive away. I can always come back and do it better next time.
RealRampage and I were supposed to do a textures-slash-portraits doubles but I forgot and shot more than half of the roll around LA instead. But I think it worked out pretty well. I love how these turned out. // Check out RealRampage's page at http://www.lomography.com/homes/realrampage.
Lots of notes on this one. The picture didn't really turn out, but it's instructive. (1) It was taken as a proof of concept for using Instax Wide film in an un-modified Polaroid Pathfinder 120. I just set it in the film gate and assumed that the pressure plate would keep it in place, which it did. From that point of view, it did succeed. (2)The colour temperature is way off, predictably. Instax is daylight-balanced, and the light source here was a warm white CFL. (3)The bellows still leaks - perhaps I'll give the same folks another try at repairing it before I give up on them. (4) Processing didn't completely work, but it's close. I just cut a piece of a file folder the size of a packet of Polaroid sheet film, and (in a dark bag of course) placed the exposed sheet of Instax in the middle of it - chemical pack towards the rollers - and processed it like a sheet of Polaroid in a 545i film holder. It didn't go through straight. If I just glue part of an anvelope inside my section of file folder to keep the film aligned, and pull more slowly, it'll work fine. Other possibilities for processing: You should be able to find a way to get it (from the inside) through the rollers of any Polaroid pack film camera that's big enough. You could put it back in the Instax cartridge and use a LomoInstant Wide. You could put it through the wringer of an old washing machine. You might be able to use a rolling pin. You could put it in a light-tight package, and leave it in the middle of the road to add some real randomness to the process. (5) My cataloguing scheme: The "date" of 01 Jan 2016 means that this is the second (counting from 00) item I catalogued in January. An item might be a page of four 4x5s in my large-format "books", or it might be a roll of film, or an envelope containing one or more instant photos. I stamp the number onto a file card, and use that for notes, which are sometimes very sketchy and sometimes pretty complete. For example, I know that the fourth thing I catalogued in January of 1994 was a roll of Kodak Gold 100 shot in a Praktica BCA, but I'd have to go to the corresponding shoe box to look at the prints if I wanted to know more. (6) This is Arianell (pronounced "AriAHNeth"), our five month old Maine Coon kitten.
