Re: [pinhole-discussion] polaroid pinhole question
Guillermo, Your note led to a couple of real revelations for me! Now that I have a much better grasp on things, I'll go back and re-read what I *thought* I understood before. I'm also now quite proud to consider myself an amateur. Thanks for the lesson(s)! Later, Trent G.Penate wrote: amateur is the french word for LOVER, of pinhole in this case. The answer is not color shift. Why the film's colors shift is because Reciprocity Failure ...
Re: [pinhole-discussion] polaroid pinhole question
Did that just label me as amateur, or what?! big grin Sorry folks. I should have searched before posting. We've just always called it color shift. Later, Trent Trent Dowler wrote: That's a new one on me, and I have no idea what reciprocity failure is.
Re: [pinhole-discussion] polaroid pinhole question
Thanks, but I'm still missing it. grin That's a new one on me, and I have no idea what reciprocity failure is. Although, the name itself conjures up many ideas. Any points in the right direction where I can increase my knowledge about it? Later, Trent, who's off to search my books and the web.

Re: [pinhole-discussion] polaroid pinhole question
Ellis, You can probably find old Polaroid cameras locally at garage sales, flea markets, or thrift stores reasonably. I've found questionable (might work, might not) Polaroids for about $2-$5 that lend themselves to all sorts of tinkering. Perhaps I've missed it, but why does the Polaroid film packs produce strong magenta tones? Could it be improper developing time? Just thinking out loud. Later, Trent ellis CORY wrote: I use the Polaroid SX70/600 type camera and as I did not want to spoil it, I made a wooden pinhole camera to take the film pack. The results have a strong magenta cast. I tried an 80B filter and overexposure, this has improved it a lot and more experiments are needed.

I am curious, as I have not really worked with polaroid type pinhole very much, nor polaroid in itself that much, either, whether or not the film is messed up or if I am just not exposing for the correct amount of time? This is daylight film at ISO 100 and color. Any suggestions would be apprectiated. Eric Hi Eric I tried also the Fuji FP-100c, but the images I got had heavy magenta cast, I used the Polaroid Pinhole Kit and in the bright sunlight the the exposure was something from 5-10 secs. As I thought the colors would be even more off using longer exposures, I never tried to take photos with it in cloudy weather, maybe my results would have been alike of yours. Now I'm using Fuji FP100-B B/W film, but the reciprocity failure is different than that of Polapan Pro and on a cloudy day, exposure times are significantly less than with Polapan Pro. best -matti
