Enjoying the Sun

Enjoying the Sun

Photo taken with an (expired) original Polaroid TZ Artistic film.
I know there are still some Polaroid fans out there, so this one is for you.
When I scanned the photo I tried to get as close as possible to the original colors.
This is my last pack of the Polaroid TZ film that is no longer in production…

Innocence

Innocence 2

This still life was taken with a Polaroid SX-70 and expired TZ Artistic film.
Nothing beats the goode olde ‘Roids…

Water Tower

Taken with a Polaroid SX-70 on TZ Artistic film (expired in autumn 2009).
Again, colors were not changed, this is pretty much like the analog original.
The greenish tones are due to the film (obviously) in combination with the cold temperature under which the photo was shot (see previous posts with Polaroid pictures for more info).

EE 100

EE 100

I bought this camera “used” last year and it was in mint condition.
The Polaroid EE 100 was produced around 1977 and uses Type 100 peel-apart film which is luckily still produced by Fuji (I have some packs of the last original Polaroid black and white films produced here, too).
I haven’t shown any pictures taken with this nice camera on this blog yet (you can see some on my flickr page and my Project 365 blog though), but I am going to change that soon.

Time for another Polaroid picture.
Same as last time, camera was an SX-70 and film an expired (09/2009) “Time Zero” (TZ Artistic) from Polaroid which is no longer produced (a real shame).
As you can see again, the temperature under which the photo was taken affected the outcome of the colors – this time they are quite warm, since the picture was taken inside.
No post-processing done here, colors are close to the analog original.
