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.
