And Another Question

[sillyphaunt]

You all are going to get sick of me soon huh?

Okay so I got my Sx-70 *Yay!!* and it works! Gloomy rainy day today, so no good light outside to shoot with, so I'm making do with whats inside. I shot about 5 pictures just to get a feel of it, and I think I'm kind of understanding how it works. (You're right Terri, I was too tempted and played too soon, and messed about 3 pictures up! )

I'm having a bit of trouble focusing with the Sx-70, any tips?

Also, I think I just need to get some good tools to manipulate with.. what do you use?

How do you do the overall blurry effect? Is that by a flatter tool? When I try to blur it just gets white and weird looking.

Thanks! I'll show my attempts when I get something presentable. Right now they're all just blurry mushy messes.

Okay, so I'm having some sucess now, I'm not around my scanner, but I'll add some new ones tommorow of what I have so far. Hopefully I can get some good light and have something to show.

I tend to get ahead of myself and ask questions when I just need to practice more. One pack of film gone, maybe my next pack will have something good.

Sounds like you're doing just fine, really. Like I warned you, it's an expensive learning curve. I love SX-70 manips, haven't done any for awhile.

Here's an extremely old one, just for giggles....I did this in the parking lot outside of a photography store where I bought some Time Zero film....this is why we all get along, we P-teamers, cause we're all nuts!

This is probably like the 3rd or 4th one I ever did (ie, not much, but I didn't ruin the film either!).

I'm going to steal your brain and make some stuff for myself one day terri. You're stuff always impresses me.
