His Polaroids in this book were very instructive to me, and I have sought to learn from the composition techniques he used in these images.<br /><br />I was just looking at some scans of my b/w pack-film Polaroid images tonight and lamenting the loss of that wonderful film.Jim Greyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06941665968757241278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423901.post-59176986626800299872023-03-03T11:36:51.765-07:002023-03-03T11:36:51.765-07:00Yep, I had a similar experience.

I was intimidated by the fact that the image was created instantly and not modifiable. It made several of the best portraits I ever got and I ultimately decided I was a fool for getting rid of it.<br />I also shot a couple of the low-end cameras when Polaroid was going out of business and the film was on sale. Looking back now at those shots I have yet another reason to regret not pursuing the opportunity.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00776670666673938282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423901.post-14699851662333271372023-03-03T10:44:28.581-07:002023-03-03T10:44:28.581-07:00I wish I had tried Polaroid back in the day, when ...I wish I had tried Polaroid back in the day, when the film was so good. I have a few black and white photographs that were taken by my Aunt with her Polaroid Swinger. Even from that consumer-grade camera and film, the prints are astonishingly good.JR Smithhttp://www.fogdog-photography.comnoreply@blogger.com
