I decided to try a different filter, and magic! I originally tried using a 3-stop ND filter, thinking it would work with this film, with a little adjustment in the exposure wheel on my SX-70, but nope, it didn't happen. Turns out all I needed to do was bump it to a 4-stop, with the wheel set exactly where recommended in the first place as per Impossible instructions. I also do take a little cooler out shooting with me, to carry developing shots, so they don't get too warm.
All is well and good again with me and my Polaroid. Now is a great time to start shooting with Impossible films. Now is the perfect time to invest in an SX-70 if it's something that you've been wanting to do for awhile...it only gets better from here!

To slow to pose for camera...but again, B+ for effort. I gotta be faster! |
These self-portraits are lovely! One of these days I will truly take the plunge with the PX film. I've only dabbled as of yet.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Brooke! This film, I am floored by it now, it's so lovely...in the right light, just amazing. :)
