Polaroid SX-70 with Mint Flash Bar 2 on Black and White SX-70 film. First time shooting with the SX-70 Polaroid camera, and the Mint Flashbar, which is an additional unit you can get, so you can expose your images well in low-light conditions.
I put myself into a studio, and decided to give it a whirl on some black and white SX-70 film. When using the Mint bar to the far right because this is SX-70 film. And then, keep your contrast in the middle, and then it should be fine. So just focus, and then shoot.
Once you have taken your shot, quickly put your polaroid in away from any light. It usually akes 10-15 minutes to develop. Do this as quickly as possible, otherwise it will get overexposed.
As we progress through the shoot you’ll notice the variation in outcomes from the Polaroid SX-70 in very low light conditions. I used the The Mint Flash Bar 2 to overcome this challenge. The use of this flash unit yielded mixed results as you can see from the images.
I hope you enjoyed that studio session with Sophie. Shooting with the Polaroid SX-70 and the Mint flashbar on predominantly black and white film. And you can see the differences between the images in some places where it was underexposed and other places were overexposed.
The key, or just keep on trialling. See how it works, what scenarios you can put yourself in to see the differences that you can get in the images that you take. So definitely go out guys, recommend it.
Get yourselves one of these cameras and have a play. See what you can capture. I'm sure you'll be able to create some wonderful, wonderful images for you to keep in the future.
