I was reading an article the other day about this portrait photographer who sometimes used polaroids and then used the negative from the polaroid rinsed off in whatever water he had to hand on location (including rivers) to rinse them off.
I've still not found out what polaroid films give negative or what to do with them but it made me wonder what you could do with polaroids and started experimenting (not cheap at £1+ a shot). I took a picture of the kitchen at settings the light meter recommended 2secs, F8, ISO100 and let it developed for two minutes guessing my kitchen was about 20 degrees C. I then took a shot at 4 secs and developed it for 1 minute and one at 1sec developed for 4 minutes. In my simple little pea brain I though everything 'should' come out at the same exposure but perhaps with slightly different looks. What happened was the 1 sec shot came out under exposed and the 4 sec shot came out over exposed. Polaroid, just like digital but tangible
Anyone else experimented with Polroid films and had more or less success than me?
