Polaroid play

I found a fun download today. It creates an effect of a shot having been taken on one of those old polaroid snapshot cameras that then spit out the photo which developed fully over the next few minutes. You can save the shot anywhere along the development process which creates some interesting effects.




Also spent some time playing with a new program Nik's 'Silver efex Pro'. I may spend the bucks and order it as I am thinking more in terms of Black and White. I set up the bulk ink tank system today which is a step in that direction, as it is dedicated to a warm tone B&W only print. I am wishing that I had a higher quality printer to put the system on but I've got what I've got. It was an investment that I made just before the war in Lebanon in the summer of 06, so it goes on a relative older model epson printer. If it works well I may retrofit the old wide planten epson that I have down stairs.

This photo is one that was a bust in color and although I don't think this version is this shots last stop, I think I like the effect and may work on reproducing it in a group of shots from this same area - perhaps IR.
