Polaroid Sepia Expired Film

Over the last few Months I have been buying the odd packet of Polaroid Sepia Fil from e-bay (Korea in fact). Polaroid stopped making all instant film in 2009 so this is all old stuff but mostly it has been kept refrigerated.
I had a bit of a false start with the first pack I used but much better results from a pack I put in the 103 Land Camera at the weekend. Fitted the Polaroid 583 Close Up Attachment and made some exposures with the lighten wheel set nearly all the way to "Lighten"
Very pleased so far.

Two Belles

Thought I'd scan some more of my older images, mainly for flikr http://www.flickr.com/photos/warboyssnapper/

I have always been a sucker for boats on shingle, especially with texture that leaps out at you in a black and white shot.

Pinhole Pier - Mumbles

Starting to use my Zero 2000 Pinhole camera again and rater liking the results.
You can make a pinhole camera out of almost anything - loads of articles on line.
I bought a rather nice looking wooden model some years ago (when I had spare cash)

Mine looks much like this.

Harley The Hairy Biker

I followed Harley and his owners Alan and Tina into our local Tesco store. They parked their motorcycle and sidecar and I asked them if I could take a few instant pictures. Turns out Harley is quite a celebrity, he has been on Look East and the One Show and has his own web site http://harleythehairybiker.weebly.com/

Don't you just love those goggles.

Whils everyone else were "chimping" at their digi images I was able to give Alan and Tina a nice instant B&W print.

Nuff said
