take it when you can...

Here is my last Polaroid Fade to Black shot... I have been saving it to take one of Maci. On her way home tonight, she stopped by our house and let me take the photo. It was almost dusk, so the light was limited. Looking back over the other shots, the film definitely responds better to sunny conditions. However, sometimes you just have to take the photo when you get the chance (and this was one of those times). Still love the shot...

abstract view...

Another abstract image that I took on my remaining shots of Fade To Black. I took this one a few weeks ago, but never got around to posting it. The colors/tones are so unique. It makes an otherwise boring shot sort of exciting. I will always prefer portraits, but an occasional abstract image fills the creative bill...

fading fast...

My next to last Polaroid Fade to Black shot. Man, do I wish that I had more...

Because of the limited supply, the demands of this film creat a lot of anxiety while you are shooting and peeling it. But the end product seems to always make it worth it! So glad that Sadi let me take this one today...

blurred abstract...

Decided to try a more abstract photo on the Polaroid Fade-To-Black film. The photo is intentionally blurred to make it more interesting. This film is so fun to work with! I peeled it within the first minute of developing. I had a little trouble with the peeling and scratched it up a bit, but it adds character to this type of photo..

fade-to-black success...

Still working through my 10 shots of Polaroid Fade-To-Black film that was given to me. There have been some duds in the pack, but this one turned out fantastic! I love the tones of this film! It is expired film at it's best. Pyper was in awe of the transparency of her after I peeled the film. The original is screaming to be framed...

fade to black - hibiscus...

My first successful try at Polaroid Fade To Black film. My first shot was a portrait of Sherri via the instant lab, but I botched it during the peeling process. Took this one of a hibiscus plant in our back yard at lunch today (with my SX-70) and peeled it successfully.  I am now determined to take a portrait next because the tones will inevitably yield an incredible image...
