Burning landscape... how did you x-ray a polaroid and which effect on here is the result?

I carted it through airport security and let them x-ray it. It happened several times. I wish I could tell you what made it look this way but I've never been able to figure that part out - too many variables. It was in the wrong camera, I had a completely unrelated warming filter taped over the lens, It was seriously freezing, like in the negative. It could have been any one or any combination :\ The crackling part on the bottom is all because of the cold though, as soon as the film would eject I'd try and shove it in my pants/ a pocket / etc to warm it up so it would develop right but it was frozen already and it got all crackly.

What I do know though is I saw another polaroid here on dA that had very similar coloring and I asked them how they did it and they said they put an old negative over the lens.

I love the colors in this, especially the grass. It has a very warm feeling to it.

Wonderful photo!

That's just a damn fine photo, simple as.

Makes me sad that I can't get my hands on 600 any more.

Thank you

And yeah, I feel your pain! I miss the stuff, but it is just too expensive for me to use. My cameras of choice both 'eat' film and I just can't afford to get only 5 or so shots out of a 10 pack anymore


Project Impossible looks promising though, maybe they will come up with something to replace it. That would be pretty sweet, though I'm sure the price will be just as outrageous.

Gotta give them kudos for trying, but yeah, I can't see it being cost effective.

Then again, they're doing it out of love for stuff.

This makes me wish Polaroid film was still in production
I love that song (Island in the Sun)!
