THREE MORE
At this rate, I'll shoot through my two new packs in about three days. It's just nice to be using the SX-70 again though. That said...
Yeah, yeah, prerequisite cute kid photo. Again, this is using the flash bar. And again, I'm impressed by the quality of the flash fill system.
These two photos were taken a mile from one another and I'm just a bit disappointed by them. I always forget that I've never really taken a blue-sky shot with the SX-70 that I loved. Maybe I need to over-expose it a bit but the colors just feel a bit dull and you can barely make out the Golden Gate Bridge in the first of the two. I don't know what I could have done to fix it, except maybe shoot over the trees (which actually would have been impossible). The contrast is off too.
As for Ocean Beach shot, that felt too dark to me too but had I exposed it longer, I think the colors would be even more washed out. I need to figure out how to take more effective landscape shots or just avoid them entirely.

Hi Oliver
It seems like we have the "fetish": the sx-70 camera.
I have just made a sx70 gallery ...
Take a look .... maybe you'll like to join with some Polaroiods?

Hi Oliver,
Are you taking these photos with time-zero film or have you adapted 600 cartridges to fit? I have an sx-70, but like everyone else, have a little film problem... Can you comment?
Thanks!!

Hi Oliver:
I found You by searching the SX-70. I think this camera is so great, and your photos too. If you don't mind can you tell me where can I get the SX-70? Thank you so much.

Hey Oliver,
Just checked your blog, love the retro look of the polaroids. Check out this little project we're doing it's called postcardpolaroid.com
We're trying to get a movement going whereby we use polaroids as medium for messaging others. Check it out, if you like it maybe you could send us one to London, we've never got one from as far away as the states yet.
Cheers,
Theo
I've seen a lot of beautiful polaroid-magic, mostly taken with sx-70.
My question is that are the current polaroid-cameras like one600 worth the bother? Or should I take the risk with sx-70?
Thanks in advance
