I took delivery of new polaroid films this week, the Impossible project has now bought out the Polaroid company, and has reverted to t he original name. They’ve also released a new camera, and improved the film. It used to take 35-40 minutes for the Impossible film to develop, but with the new film it’s only 15 minutes. It was a sunny morning here, so after doing the chores I went for a wander with the SX70 loaded with a new film. 10 minutes later and the sky clouded over and on came the rain, sigh, so home I came with only 3 shots.
The graffiti bridge
regular readers will recognised The Tree from my 366 last year,
and some dangly branches on the turn to Autumn, just before it rained.
The instant film loses a little in translation to the blog, but it has that creamy texture that is still very appealing.
I remember the tree!
Best wishes, Pete.

I always love your polaroids Fraggy. I bought the SLR-670S (a revitalized sx-70 with the ability to set shutter speeds) from Mint Camera last year and after many packs through it I am still not “in Love” with instant! I like the idea of instant but the results are just not enough for me. Maybe I have to keep at it.

Thanks Mary, I was considering the Mint revamps, but I love my old SX-70 too much now! I know the results are hit and miss, but I keep trying!

DO! I’m going to have a go at emulsion lifts from them when I’ve finished the blasted tiger!
