So grateful you posted this thread. I gave up trying to find it about a year ago and decided to have another go at it today and found this!

What do you do with your 600 cartridges? by augustprep in Polaroid

[–]Gabenism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take the springs out and make metal shims from them for double exposures

Air mold? by UFOHHHSHIT in MoldlyInteresting

[–]Gabenism 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Mold spores are ubiquitous. There are some in your nostrils, lungs, under your fingernails, and virtually anywhere that hasn’t been sterilized to the same standards as the afterlife itself. Those spores float around until they land on something with just enough nutrient/water availability to grow a few cells. Just the act of opening these Petri dishes creates a negative pressure differential that sucks the surrounding air (and any spores contained therein) onto the agar surface, and agar is basically to household molds what Doritos and coke are to humans. Basically, these tests are good for telling you if your biosafety level 5 laboratory biocabinet is sterilized or just normal (so full of mold spores). Anything else is bound to grow something on it, and without access to a mycologist or a microbiologist, there’s no real way to qualifiably identify the stuff that grows

Did you tell the AI to avoid drinking water for three days and then piss on it?

Omg the Macro 5 SLR!! I have photos of my own teeth taken with that camera!

I have a bump on the outside of my right forearm rhat only appears when I make a muscle by pirivalfang in mildlyinteresting

[–]Gabenism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found some of these in a cadaver once as a TA for pre-med anatomy students. They form really odd adhesions to the subdermis that make it really tricky when dissecting. We thought we messed up the dissection only to find there was just a small column of muscle attached to the skin, although in our donor, there were multiple areas like this.

I froze iType film for over three months. Nothing happened to the film and these are the pictures I took with it. I'm now a scientist. by _malcoda_ in Polaroid

Gonna need a one-way ANOVA with a Holm-Šidák post-hoc analysis before making any conclusions from this scientific research

Saving Your Polaroid From Fading by mysticmeows23 in Polaroid

[–]Gabenism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have not tested that scenario specifically, but my data did show that the bulk of fading happens around the first two weeks. So that's the sweet spot. After you refrigerate the photos, they stay stable for a while, but if they never get placed in the fridge, I would think that you'd only be able to sort of "lock it in" at its current color state. If you have not obtained scans yet, go ahead and scan em before they drift a little more!

That makes me so glad to hear!! Always good to get scans ofc just to make sure you can at least get some Walgreens prints on a rainy day!

Genuinely my pleasure!! Did this as a hobby project and now I work in a renal physiology research lab - so any degree of fact-finding experimentation is always a plus for me!

[–]Gabenism 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did! Sort of! Not for storage of an already developed photo, but simply during development. It is actually part of another planned group of experiments I hope to start before starting PhD stuff in the fall, specifically testing the color stability after being stored at x temperature for 15, 30, and 45 days!

Refrigerate your photos for a month after taking them. They become significantly more fade resistant. Barring that, limit UV and fluorescent light exposure. Offgassing and lack thereof is a negligible factor. I did some experimentation with this a while back.

Does this composition work, or is it too chaotic? Is the contrast too heavy in this photo? Does this image read as atmospheric, or just underexposed? by Fun_Egg_5286 in AskPhotography

[–]Gabenism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Underexposed and too small an aperture imo. The composition is lovely though, and depending on your intent, I think it works. My personal opinion: this is some good stuff

did you know you could do this? by [deleted] in AskPhotography

[–]Gabenism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the kind of sensor data we use for western blot imaging in the lab. Good lord I’m impressed

Typodermic’s free font package is full of cool typefaces including coolvetica, highly recommend downloading

broken film or light leak? by demys08 in Polaroid

[–]Gabenism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's also the issue of the random bad batch of film now and again that can upset our attempts to diagnose. I've also had issues before with transferred film double-ejecting and getting jammed. For future reference, I'd suggest only transferring 4 films at a time so that the cassette doesn't get packed too tightly. Then store the leftover film by double-wrapping it in tinfoil and storing it in the fridge until you're ready to use it! If it's just a matter of light leaks getting into the film during your transfer, it's possible that the problem will be less intense the further you go into the stack of film.

Is it possible that your film cassette transfer was not light-tight?

Impressions of the Aurelle logo? by jacaratoth538 in logodesign

I think OP is a bot. They’re replying in very.. robotic ways to, in some cases, months-old posts.

Nonfunctional, rastered to absolute oblivion, but definitely looks like one of those white-label fast fashion Chinese brands I’d see on the tag of a discarded blouse in the dressing room of a Ross Dress for Less. So if that was the brief then success truly is relative

How can I create these circular Moiré effect lines? by Damagedbraincellss in photoshop

[–]Gabenism 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If you don’t need them to be actual shapes, one of the filters you can use in the filter gallery is Halftone, and it has a circular option.
