Polaroids (Fuji 100C) Negative Recovered

This is a Polaroid (Fuji 100C) negative that I recovered - Then attempted to scan in and recreate -- I need a different scanner to get the image to look like the printed version - But I have been enjoying the effects that I am able to recreate/ the process that I have been attempting.

Reworking Polaroid (Fuji 100c) Negative

I scanned in the negative and then tried to make it into a positive and rework it in PS. It didn't work the way I had hoped. I still plan on using the negative to print with either and enlarger or as a contact print. -- Maybe even a cyanotype...

But... I did continue to play with the negative and came up with this painterly kinda look and feel .... I think that I kinda like it... I just am not sure that I can really duplicate it??? I'll have to shoot some more and then see... Here are a few different versions of what I did....

Polaroids (Fuji 100C) Transfer / Negative Recovered

Well, over the last few months I have been telling myself that I need to see about taking a few more polaroid shots and doing some transfers with them. (I also have been thinking that I need to see about doing some lifts with them too -BUT haven't) Then these past few weeks while working on the house and cleaning and stuff I have seen these lil pink blossoms on the tree in the back yard and I have wanted to take some shots of them - but just no time to waste on shooting.... SO then... yesterday I saw this image online -- it was an image from the negative shot from a polaroid - typically you just throw them away. I have ALWAYS wanted to try and see if there was a way to save them and use them to create more work. -- AGAIN.... I just never have the time!

But when I saw that it could be done... =) Well, I decided to put together these things I have been wanting to do and so early this morning I took a shot of the blossoms and then did a transfer.

Polaroid Camera - Double Exposures

Decided to try and make some In-Camera Double Exposures. I just wanted to see if it would work, but kept running into trouble getting it to work. To get these I would have to shoot, but then waiting to pull the image until after prepping the camera/ shoot a second shot.

The Fuji Frustration

Well the last few days I have gone thru two packs of the fuji film for my polaroid camera... been trying different things to see what works and what doesn't... I can shoot the NORMAL good shot... but then I have been trying transfers/ double exposures -ect. Yesterday and today I ran into more "what doesn't works".... It has kinda left me frustrated. But it is also good because I am learning ... It is just hard to pull one shot after another and have them not come out.... AND the last 2 images come out together - which ruins them!!!! Which means that the images that HAVE been good shots have cost me about $7 bucks each!!! Grrrrrrrrrr

I went and bought 2 more packs of film. Tomorrow I hope that I will be able to shoot 2 exposures on the same shot! I spent a bunch of them trying to make it work... Well, tomorrow I'll see how good it comes out!

Fuji (polaroid) transfer

So I decided to give a transfer a try!! The first one AGAIN - turned out all black! - I was kinda in the dark when I tried the transfer - but it hit me that I probably needed to try it with the room darker! -- The second one is the image below - It came out but I wanted to see what it was like on vellum... the vellum buckled... BUT now I know / I can do it on arches paper or another and it will totally work! So exciting!

(Ok back to work... I'm working on a copper etching - but just HAD to take a break to try this out!)

Polaroid Camera

Well, yesterday I had worked all day on printmaking -printing the fisherman print, and then 2 screen prints that I will add on here soon. After that I went to see about buying fuji 100c film to test my new polaroid camera... but they were out of film! But it wasn't ALL a waste of time.. I found out that I need a battery and was able to buy his LAST ONE! =)

Today I cleaned the old battery attachments, and then discovered that I needed to clean the rollers. - I love all the lil aspects of what goes into having the camera. The ways that it was put together and works. I think about today - how we have these 8 gig memory of 100s of images that we can see on a screen in seconds... and how these old cameras were shooting "INSTANT FILM" - BUT... you have to figure out your settings of focus, lighting, type of film- ect with these lil knobs and pull levers - Then shoot, pull the plastic, pull the image, "preheat" it for a minute, and then peal it. -- ALL of that for 1 INTANT IMAGE... and you only have 10 shots to make the "perfect" shot. - I love it!

Well I bought the film today and got it all loaded in the camera - couldn't wait to get home to do a test shot so I pulled over and shot at this location I knew about - I figured I would get a lil of each color in the shot. -- The first one I shot came out BLACK - but it was because I had to figure out which film setting would work. The second came out great! I was really happy to learn that the camera works!! I am saving the other shots for another day - to create some specifically thought out shots - perhaps focussing on a series of work.
