Image transfers from negatives

terri · Jan 26, 2005

I used Polaroid Pro-100 4x5 sheet film for these. I knew it would give a golden tone and thought using film strips in the Daylab would be freaky.

I thought these negatives would work ok, since the trees stand out well against the sky. Gave a 30-second pull instead of the usual 10-12, to allow for a little more ink migration off the neg. Then reworked a little with pastels to brighten some areas.

Just playing, really.

What do you guys think?

VEry freaky! Very cool!
I wouldn't even try something like that! It'd come out crap. :mrgreen:

Don't talk that way! :spank:

Your stuff always comes out good!

And thanks, btw.... :mrgreen: It was fun, cause it was a little different.

Wow, that is definitely different! Love the colors and tones of the images...

One of these days you are going to have to make it to a TPF trip and show us all how to do this stuff!

I admire anyone who can hold a pen/crayon/paste/brush properly. I can't! :mrgreen:

These are really great, Terri! I love the colors. I'm sure Hobbes will be in here in a minute drooling because you used with word Daylab :mrgreen:

Sorry I'm late.

I love these!!!! Pictures like this are the reason I got into messing with polaroids. I think they truly show "art" and photography blended into one form.

Thanks guys! It is fun to start out with a negative and end up with something that looks a bit surreal.

Gee Hobbes, did I forget to mention along the way that you can use film strips in the Daylab, too??? Just think of it....all those possibilities... :twisted:

I'll get to you yet, my pretty!!

Evil, evil woman. It's bad enough just wanting it for the manipulations. :biglaugh:

Glad you like them, bay-bay!! :hug::

Man, that would be awesome living across the street from Terri! :mrgreen: Terri, teach me, terri, teach me! Terri, can I borrow your daylab?? :mrgreen:

Those are gorgeous, Terri!

I'd let you borrow it anytime, sweetie :hug:: BUT - I am pretty sure I've read that you can put a negative in the Vivitar, too. The downside is that it has to be cut up; it won't hold a strip. But it's doable if you wanted to experiment with 669 - just cut out all your color filtration, maybe add slight magenta + yellow to cancel out the infamous cyan cast from 669. I'm not sure how Vivitars work in that regard, but it might be fun to try.

Thanks for all the positive comments, guys. I never know how my little experiments will go over, and it tickles me to know you like it!
