Easy Christopher-
send them to me-
I like that one, I've seen it before I think-
Interesting that he's leaning on a horizontal plane...
I've got some, posted here already in the other threads-
ok to include some here too, do you think?
Re: More Polaroid Portraits

No, Ives was looking the other way:

It would be nice to see your past polaroids. It's a weird medium, with it's own character.
Re: More Polaroid Portraits
I remember now-
should have said that I've seen Him here before-
I'd make a terrible lawyer, everything thrown out on technicalities...
Now that I see it again, I think I prefer the second,
more enigmatic, with the shadow-
but he's a very memorable character-
They look like they're scanned from the print-
These ones T55, scanned from the neg-
Both shot on a small French cinema projection Petzval, 185mm-
From last month, I have a habit of posting at the very end of the month-

And this one from the end of the month before...

Re: More Polaroid Portraits
joseph, those are awesome. I hadn't seen the second one before.
Re: More Polaroid Portraits
Joseph. There must be a lot more to chew on in a polaroid negative. How do they scan compared to other negs? I only know pola prints and give up on low tones and let them drop out altogether making virtue out of necessity.
Re: More Polaroid Portraits
Christopher, I've got a limited experience with other b/w negs-
I've only used Foma films-
They scan beautifully, really soft tonality, imperceptible grain-
These were both slightly underexposed,
in that they produced an acceptable print-
but they weren't underexposed by much-
there weren't any tones lost that I didn't need-
perhaps the stated exposure guidelines refer to printing rather than scanning-
It's a lovely film, and I'm rationing it-
I'll only shoot one per setup,
and usually I'll only do one setup per person...
Vinny, thank you...
Re: More Polaroid Portraits
All I want to know is who designed Ives's jacket and what material it is made from :)
