expired polaroid and curves

I've lost a day, must be falling asleep on the sofa that did that- I didn't sleep for over a day but I've had too many nights of 4 or 5 hour sleep and it just caught up with. I bought a few packs of expired polaroid film recently on ebay as it was cheap - ish, one pack had zero come out, this pack the first 7 were weird grey and bubbles. That's ok as I'll cut them up and use them for collage sometime but the last three did kind of turn out. I had to us contrast/ curves in PS to accentuate this, the original is quite grey and doesn't scan very well. Thanks for all the lovely comments/favs - I really didn't expect the window to do so well - I vey nearly didn't post it. Now off to find today's photo

Love this! Do you know, with your magical and atmospheric shots, I could see them gracing a book of poetry, horror stories or a history book.

I find most of the Impossible film I get is simply impossible. Interesting eeffects

lovely - what do you shoot with? I have a sweet old sun600 that I like, but not too fond of the impossible films at this point. I prefer the pack films and my Land230

@stacypie Hey Stacie, I have a supercolor 600 - I had a newer P one but it spewed out the last film. I quite like Impossible film but I love pack film and am keeping my eye out on ebay for a camera. I do use packfilm with a polaroid back for a wooden pinhole. I also have an SX70 but hardly ever use it - the Impossible film is just so pricey

[Andreas]

Very cool! Love how the bubbles and the black curves framing the tree

[Jackie greenfield]

An Ingrid special, your shots are always so interesting & creative :-)

[Lisa Stein]

Wonderful effect! Love the tones and vintage feel.

It's like looking through gauze - really strong silhouette

Like an alien world with five moons.

I really think of all the people I've followed here, both past and present, your process (film, digital and combined work) is the most fascinating. It would be pretty cool if you had a blog for ideas/steps/process.
