Polaroid Manipulations

Great job!

You're getting fabulous colors from this film!

I like your subjects, too - the way you pick out these "everyday" objects and make them look so cool.

You're getting better all the time! :thumbsup:

thanks auntie terri!

I have been messing around with that thread about extreme close up lenses and took a picture of one of the polaroid manips. It looks pretty cool close up.

Wow, that's neat.

Isn't it weird to look at it close up? All the marks and etchings you'd swear you didn't even put there! I've blown up some of mine that I've scanned for printing, or whatever.

This looks like a cool abstract, Hobbes - only we SX-70 freaks would recognize those telltake markings.... :LOL:

Hobbes? Messing around with closeups? Nah! I mean, it's not like your avatar is a closeup or somethin...

Yeah. I tried this:

and have been hooked ever since.

I figured that's what you did. I would really like to try it, but even with the explanations I don't understand exactly how to do it.

hobbes28 · Sep 29, 2004

I'ma gonna put up an explanation sometime in the future with pics because it's kind of hard to understand and I do it.

Corry · Sep 29, 2004

Sweet! I'll be looking forward to it!

Hobbes, nice work! As you can probably tell, I don't venture over here much or I would've seen these before.

As for those explanations, I wonder if we can get them saved at the top of the alt tech page. I'm gonna dig back to some old posts but think it would be nice to make them easy to find for anyone wanted to try these techniques. Just a thought if one of the powers-that-be would entertain it.
