Took this one tonight as the sun was setting. This is exactly why I had my Holden SX70 converted to a 600 camera by @2ndshotsx70service . It makes the camera so much more useable and versatile. As you can see, the exposure is perfect! The beauty of an "instant" print in your hand is beyond compare...

bodie at night...

Flew from Dallas to Santa Ana and then drove over 1000 miles over 5 days, including this stop in Bodie, CA. Couldn't have asked for a better opportunity to try out my newest addition to my camera family (the Mint SLR670m). This was my first attempt at a night photo and it was exposed for approximately 20 seconds and captured on Impossible 600 Test Film (the building was painted onto the image with a flashlight). I could have easily taken the same photo with my Canon 6D, but it would have never had the character of this image. I really cannot wait to explore the unlimited artistic possibilities of the Mint camera... 

somewhere in Tennessee...

Pulled off the road into a field to take this one. It was somewhere outside of McMinnville, Tennessee...

captain...

I would have to say that this is one of my favorite instant photos that I have taken. The colors, composition and textures are absolutely amazing. 

The photo was taken at Cap's birthday party this past weekend. I couldn't have asked for a better stare/pose. So glad we were able to celebrate with him and really glad that he let me take this photo...

8x10 processing...

huntington beach pier - the eerie look...

A big mistake that turned out great.  I didn't think the picture ejected from the camera.  I opened the film door and the picture fell out and was immediately exposed by the sunlight.  Created a eerie look and it turned out great.  Not normally what happens when it is exposed to light.  Notice the surfer below the pier on the left side...
