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.

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 Transfer

First Polaroid transfer -- well it didn't come out as clean as I was hoping... but I like the feel of the red.... I think that I needed a different type of paper..... and maybe need a lil more time working on the transfer..... soooo NEXT TIME I think that they will be better! But they are very cool to make! I can't wait to do a few more!
