Thanks for the likes on that last Polaroid!

I just finished capturing my last 21 Polaroid instant photos to digital using the Light L16. It makes for an amazingly easy capture, where these prints are often difficult due to reflections on their shiny cover sheet and other issues. The Light makes them look very good, very true to the original, and most of the captures require very little editing. I'll get the rendered photos up over the course of the weekend.

MiNT SLR670-S + Polaroid Original SX-70 B+W Film

I slide the print back into the original film carrier (after removing the front piece) and scan the original on an Epson V700.
The slight distance off the scanner glass makes it so no Newton Rings happen. This shot was done with the camera on a copy stand.

I started "A Photo A Day" blog here. It will not always be Polaroid film, but it will have a lot of Polaroid.
I will be taking delivery of a custom built camera I am having made with a Polaroid 72 back on it soon.

Looking forward to this project,
Darr

Lovely work! And an interesting technique! :)

One of the images I scanned with the Light L16 yesterday was the same as I posted the other day, the portrait of Felipe and Jack at the cafe. The Light did such a far better job ...!

My friend in SoCal snapped a photo of me with my SLR670a just before I got ready to leave for home a couple of weekends ago..



I just love SX-70 photos so much!

Enjoy!

I'll point out that if you go to Shag Harbour:

You can go on to Paradise:

Thirty years ago, Paradise was rather famous among the medical community of NS as being the home of a husband and wife team of sex therapists. I really think they would have been more at home in Shag Harbour... but Paradise will do nicely as the Amex lady used to say.

In the next village to Église Sainte Marie (posted above) is Église St. Bernard. I'm guessing that this church, built ten years after the largest wooden church in north America but only a few kilometers from it, was constructed in a spirit of competitiveness. It sits on a hill and as one approaches from the south it looks more like a medieval European abbey than the kind of twentieth century church expected in a rural community of 850 people. Sadly, the source of funds for it is obvious: I passed through many communities where the houses and gardens were well-kept and looked prosperous. St. Bernard doesn't have that look, and one wonders whether the community poured its disposable wealth into this structure, and the results are still apparent.
