more BronicaRoids...parents

Finishing off a film pack, and i only wasted two by forgetting to remove the darkslide :¬P
I'm hooked on polaroid and now on the lookout for a camera that will allow me to fill a type 100 film frame.

Just a photogram I recently did, i've cropped and rotated the scan slightly but other than that...

Manchester snow. Looking west down Ducie St.
 Taken at the junction of Ducie St. and Peak St.

Ok so here's another Bronica shot Polaroid.
I took this today in Manchester, not great, the definition takes a hit when scanned and blown up but i guess that's to be expected.
The roid itself was developed using the arseheater method, that is i stuck it in my back pocket for five minutes.
It was bloody cold out there.

Bronica ETRS and Polaroid back...first images.

At least I got the exposure right...and removed the dark slide

Well, I did say I'd post my first shots here good or bad.

So here we have my 2nd shot using my Bronica ETRS and Polaroid back.
Shot on Fuji FP100C, this one was supposed to be of the snow falling. Unfortunately the light was bad enough to require a shutter speed of 1/8 second even at f/2.8, which meant even though I had the snow in focus, the movement blurred it anyway.

I've not posted my first shot because a black rectangle isn't very interesting, yes I forgot to remove the dark slide.
What a doughnut.

Polaroid back and an ETRS

I'm quite excited. I've recently purchased a Polaroid Type 100 back for my Bronica ETRS.
I love my ETRS, out of the small selection of cameras I have, it is probably my favourite.
I think its something to do with the way the image looks when viewing on the screen through the waist level finder. It always looks so rich and vibrant.

Anyway, up until now I've only been shooting black and white 120 film (I only know how to develop B&W film). The one time I shot colour was when I had just got the camera and the film came with it (you gotta love ebay). Unfortunately in my eagerness to play with my new toy I loaded the film incorrectly and shot two rolls of backing paper instead. The few days I spent eagerly awaiting the developed negatives return in the post resulted in a small amount of disappointment that's for sure. You live and learn

So now I have a Polaroid back, I have ordered a 5 pack of FP100C (again courtesy of ebay) and can't wait to get started shooting some colour, albeit negative size, but colour all the same.

Rest assured I'll be posting my first shots here...good or bad.

It's been a while since I've posted a picture, so here's one from a recent trip to London taken using the iPhone Hipstamatic app.
