Color Polaroids on my old Calumet 8x10 Oh what fun!

[Will Thompson]

Here is my first good shot with Color Polaroid 8x10 TYPE 809 film!

Lens: 240mm Nikor W f:5.6 on a Copal No. 3 shutter.

ISO 80 125th sec f5.6

I just bareley got this shot. It was overcast and this film must be shot at 125th sec for correct color balance so I waited for a little sun that came out for just a few seconds.

With a slower shutter speed My photos all had a yellow cast.

It is kinda fun working with an almost antique medium (film & camera).

Very nice patina on the fountain. I wonder how you scanned it. People say there's not a lot of resolution in the Polaroid, but what's more important is the tonality. I think this is a great medium to investigate.

My 8x10 processor has arrived I have 5 great film holders and soon the camera and a 35mm slide enlarger!

I really want to exploit the slide collections I have that sit there ignored yet holding so many riches.

Polaroid might just be a great solution for that speical slide and you don't need to scan it!
