Re: [pinhole-discussion] using polaroid 545 back
In Japan there are two color polaroid films available. One shifts towards blue but the other one shifts toward YELLOW which I find preferable for outside landscapes, interiors etc. Sorry I don't have the film names and numbers in front of me right now. They both should be available worldwide. Also with the polaroid film it gets REAL slow with long exposures whether color or B+W. On dark cloudy days it takes MUCH longer than your meter or the film speed indicates. If a 15 second exposure didn't work I have increased the next exposure to 1 minute - that is at least two stops more rather than trying just one stop increase. Interior shots of a big room took 15 minutes with lots of daylight coming in some windows and the room lights one. Any way be prepared to wait when the light is dim...that is my experience. In bright light all the films work well with that nice instant gratification. Ed Can someone share their experience using instant film? From what Ive seen, reciprocity can shift pinhole polaroid photos towards cyan ( polaroid also says this). I am using a leonardo 4x5 and 545 holder.

RE: [pinhole-discussion] using polaroid 545 back
Yes, Polopan tends to show cyan after about 3 min exposures that I have tried. I tend to remove cyan in photoshop and results are quite good. Use of Polaroid back is good since one can see instant results and can changes the exposure conditions as needed at the spot. Thanks, Achal -Original Message- From: pinhole-discussion-admin@p at ???

Subject: Re: [pinhole-discussion] using polaroid 545 back That's for sure. The shift can be so drastic that the image is essentially a grayscale in cyan (cyan-scale?)

RE: [pinhole-discussion] using Polaroid 545 back
I use it all the time. The Polapan 4x5 pack films are lots of fun (instant gratification all that). You get stunning negatives from the P/N. The color film is a bit trickier but some wonderful pictures are available within it. Loonngg exposures due require a bit of filtration but the shift is interesting too. just try it...you'll like it andy -Original Message- From: pinhole-discussion-admin@p at ???
