PX 70 Colorshade

Out of the Polaroid films I have used from the Impossible Project the PX70 Colorshade definitely seems to be the most sensitive to light. I struggled a lot to get any photos worth while, most of them became almost white even with camera set to darkest setting possible.

Very informative advert from the 70's explaing in detail how the SX-70 camera functions, and how Polaroid photography works.

A new Cool Polaroid Film

The new spring 2012 edition of the Impossible Projects Polaroid film is a cool one. It says on the box to store the film in the fridge, then leave it in room temperature for one hour before using it. I have reserved some space in my fridge next to the vegetables, and am looking forward to seeing what kind of photos I can take with this film.

Ghostly

Without realising it I was holding my Polaroid SX-70 Land camera directly into the sunlight when I took this photo. When I first looked at this photo I thought it was going to become completely white after it had developed. Luckily some details starting emerging, and  I think the final result is rather interesting if not ghostly. 

When I did a ghost walk in St Albans last spring the presenter told about several ghosts that is said  to be haunting this cathedral. The story that stood out for me was of a monk that was said did not get his proper burial, so he haunted the place until he got one. It is also said that if you walk around a certain tree outside the cathedral 13 times you'll see the devil.
