    A first test shot with the new camera and some expired Polaroid film.



    Not sure if the green tint is due to the expired film or that I developed it a bit too long.
    Great image Mike. Happy feeling. The green tint can be dealt with, if you desire, in postprocessing. Not familiar with Polacolor, so can't comment on the root cause of the tint.

    Thanks!
    Yes, I was already working on a fixed version.
    Hope to avoid it in the first place next time ...

    "Fixed," this looks like a great 1970's naturally faded photo, it captures a time that never happened, kind of like magic if you ask me

    So true ... especially when you consider how old the film is

    I really do like the photo and would feel stupid by scanning and printing again ... apart from that I played around with a scan to see the effects but will stick to the original.

    Yes nice portrait of a cute little girl half smiling, half sulking ! This tint is caused by the age and the storage condition of the film you used. You were right to develop longer, it counterbalanced nicely the film's peremption.

    On the other hand I tried to fix the color with Photoshop (in order to practise) it was a a success for this young lady. However I noticed that the skin on her face and her right arm is kind of "stained". that's a shame 'cause after color corrections, it leaves some bluish marks on the skin.

    Hope that it comes from your scanner and not from the polaroid.
    Large format photography is not only about size.

    It was just a quick scan. Will do a proper scan in the next days.

    BTW she is not sulking but concentrating on not moving

    This week I acquired an 1850s 15" Lerebours et Secretan f5 lens, and this morning's portrait is the first work I've done with it. This is an 8X10" wet plate collodion image on aluminum. I used the UVP-X formula from UV Photographics (thanks Brian!), and it was much faster than freshly made Old Workhorse! (OWH took 22 seconds to expose and UVP-X took 7 seconds in open shade on a bright day)
    This is an amazing period lens, with superb center sharpness and just the right amount of swirly bokeh without being exaggerated.
