Sunflowers

I finally got a few rolls of film developed from vacation. Thought I’d share one or two…

    I shot slide film because I want to print Polaroid transfers and then scan the transfer to blow it up to a huge (16×20 minimum) print.

    I’ve run into some snags with my DayLab because I bought it used and thus it didn’t come with a manual (been meaning to Google that) and I’ve still got the mind-set that Polaroid transfers are “easy” because the DayLab from school was broken so the sliders for CMY were movable but not set-able, if that makes sense, so you could only print on one setting. Thing was, it was the most wonderfully correct setting for every slide I ever put on it but I never knew what it was because the sliders went all willy-nilly up and down yet didn’t actually set anything.

    So anyways, I got discouraged with my DayLab and have yet to revisit my idea. But the more I think about it, I don’t think the medium is right for the subject because of the minute detail so I plan to try a set of buildings. Shot them. Need to try printing.

    Off to Google for my manual. Might even give Polaroid a call. Here’s hopin’!

    That’d be great if you got it going to your satisfaction. I worked for a few hours on doing Photoshop lifts of a crab I shot at the beach. It’s just not the same thing.

    Hmm. Sounds like we need to get to work with the Daylab.

    Btw, just found it: http://www.polaroid.co.uk/service/userguides/photographic/daylab35_ug.pdf I think I have a Daylab Jr. not a 35 but this is close enough and gives me the exposure help which is what I was mainly looking for. If you want to come over or me come there sometime, we can print. You just need Polaroid 669 film. 20 photos per box.

    I need to find the right subjects first.
