Paul A Driod and his wife Anne, take junior out for a gentle walk, and to show him off the world.
Soon he’ll be big enough to wind his own key and maybe one day move onto batteries!

Polaroid Image Transfer.

Red leaves onto Moleskine paper.
Polaroid Type 669 film stock, with Mamiya Universal camera, 65mm lens at f6.3 & 1/10th sec.
Image developed for 15 secs before peeled apart and applied to paper – then rolled and left for one minute.

Paper was first dampend and scrubbed to remove the external sizing.

Polaroid image transfer: Suze, originally uploaded by photocumbria.

Shot on a Canon D2000, then printed to Polaroid 669 via palette CI 5000S color film recorder and transferred to Moleskine watercolour paper.

The red tone came from leaving the transfer for far too long on the paper before peeling apart.

Polaroid: In the night garden, originally uploaded by photocumbria.

Long exposure shot, with a Polaroid Automatic 100 camera on to Polaroid 125i film.
Exposure was about 30 to 40 seconds, which is strange, as it’s only supposed to go to 10 seconds according to the specs on the camera!

I sat in the frame for about half that, partly as I wasn’t sure if the camera was going to do the exposure (it did!)

It’s a bit blurry as the decking is a “wee bit” springy, so moving about made the tripod jitter!
