Getting to grips with using the Polaroid SX-70 I think now. It's not that using it is really different from any other camera (point, focus, shoot); its just those little things about different cameras that you have to remember when using them. With the SX-70, it moves a fair bit when I fire that red shutter button. And I mean a fair bit, the mirror inside creates from big movements. When you add a film of ISO100 I ended up with some blur in my initial shots.
Now, give the camera a good light source and hold it steady and you are working. Currently got it loaded with a nice pack of "Edge Cut" ATZ from TheImpossibleProject. Half a pack in and Im liking the colours. Not as green as I was getting with ATZ, and seems to be sharper too.
This shot is probably my favourite Polaroid I've taken to date. It seems to just work well and came out exactly how I wanted it to.
Another shot from the same day out in Thorndon Woods in Brentwood is below. I like this one too, but I didn't see the tree reaching in to the frame when I took it.
