Polaroid Week Part II

These are the last photos that I have to share for polaroid week this year - I'm a little sad that I don't have any for tomorrow, but overall, I'm just really happy to be taking part. 

It is results like these that make me wish I had an unlimited supply of pennies to spend on film :)

It's Polaroid Week, it's Polaroid Week!

Hurray, its that time of year again - polaroid week - and I am excited!!  

These are the first four photos that I've submitted to the Flickr group. I actually took these last weekend, as I thought polaroid week was last week (oops) and as I knew I wouldn't have any time to take them during the week. I'd been saving this pack of film for something special, but that something special never seemed to come along, so instead I set myself a task to take all the photos in my back garden.

Although the first photo didn't work out very well, I was very relieved that the rest of the pack worked, even with the streak down the middle of them all.  I really like the tones of this film and taking these made me excited to try the newer films that the Impossible Project have been producing.

Polaroids from last week...

Our week off was a week of two halves. The first couple of days we chilled out and relaxed (I started and completed Stacking, hehe, it is so fun!) and the last few days we went exploring. On Wednesday we hopped on the train and went to Knaresborough and Harrogate (they're on the same train line) and I took my polaroid land camera too.

I've struggled a little with the development time with this film - I think mainly due to the colder weather here in England, the first two are a little underexposed and then getting this film to scan well is hard, you'll have to trust me that they look better in person lol.

The first three are from Knaresborough, easily the prettiest place in England (I think anyway) and the last photo was taken in a stunning park that we found in Harrogate - I was delighted when the sun came out and formed the shadows across the floor.

I'm a little apprehensive about using the colour film with this camera as I know it takes a lot longer to develop and like all films, this film is precious but I also can't wait to see the results too especially as these black and white results are so pretty, even though they aren't perfect.

p.s. Susannah shared The Conversation last week and I've watched 5 already in a day, have you seen it?

A year later...

I took these photos about a year ago when Adele came to visit and I thought it would be interesting to share a comparison shot to how they were and how they look now.

I'm not really surprised by the comparison as I knew that the Impossible Project film at the time was much more unstable than it is now (they've come a long way in a year but I still think they have a way to go...) and I've been fascinated with the differences, particularly the patterns. I can't decide whether to be sad that they've changed so much or not though.

It will interesting to see if the photos that I took earlier this year will have changed much in a years time too I think.

Have a great weekend!
