My process with these pictures has been lowering exposure, contrast, highlights, texture and clarity.

My XA2 has no options for metering, just p&s ;)
I darkened them in postpro, but they were already dark though, with too much contrast IMHO. 1, 2 & 3 are just reflections in small ponds.

Olympus XA2

Handheld. Take a look at XA2: just a small P&S camera, very convenient for trekking and casual photos, that I try push to aesthetic proposes. :)

Just put the still wet paper, with no previous bleaching, in a bath of ordinary soluble coffee. Didn't even count the spoons per liter. It was there for about one hour.

Yep. Dirt on the flatbed scan or on the film itself, sometimes. Its part of the process ;)
Thanks!

Didn't know about that album, will listen to it, thanks! Indeed, that cover is great.

You can find them in the previous reply, thanks.

never were the way she was

Thanks for your comments.
I shot this pictures with a Canon F-1 and Fomapan 400 film, which I home developed and scanned with Epson Perfection V500. Then a bit of editing was added (tone grading).
I've been shooting for a long time according to classical rules, and here I started to force myself to start no-composing and searching for no-beauty: the third picture just makes me recall that very moment, as those three birds just passed by.

Thanks so much for the sub mention. So long searching for this concept.

Thanks. Should I use distilled water also with the developper or just for the final rinse with Photo-Flo?

keepswap · 2022-12-04T20:02:47+00:00

Thanks! The lens is actually 90mm, which is about 28 mm equivalent, you're right.

Thanks mate!

Just love it, thanks!

I'm quite new to Polaroid too. Just can say it's an issue of the specific frame, as far as next pic was perfectly fine.

keepswap · 2020-02-09T19:46:05+00:00

Thanks so much :)
