Cheating... 😁

I think I've gone all Polaroid fanboi. I'm thoroughly enjoying printing little gems with the Polaroid Lab printer. I'll do more emulsion lifts but these are great in and of themselves.

😍

@apkeedle I agree, the Polaroid Lab is such a great way to print photographs. It doesn't matter if the original file is from film or a digital camera, it just looks good.

@klizana They do don't they. Why is that? Trying to think of ways to show / present them. Might have to go all David Hockney 😁

@apkeedle for small prints like Polaroids, I like to use oversized frames, Like at least 11"x14"

@klizana That's sounds great with something like a 8x10 mount and plenty of free space around it.

@apkeedle Exactly, it's like an invitation to look at it closer instead of dismissing the print because it's small.

@klizana Just so you know. I been a bit reluctant to post here but I've very much missed interacting with you so I'm here now and it's all your fault! 🤗

@apkeedle I've missed you too. I got to say I like it better here. I can focus on photography and art without any distractions, and it has been so much better for my mental health. We have built a cozy #BelieveInFilm community here. It might not be as big as the one on the bird site, but it's worth our time 🤗

@klizana I think you are right. A lot of the old bunch are here. The old bird site was simpler but much more noise. I think it's time I left that nest and fledged fully over here 🐥

@apkeedle I'm very tempted by the newer Polaroid labs. I've done a lot of work with the old Impossible instant lab, but it's super fiddly.

@sfphotogirl They work really well. Pretty simple to use with the app. The photos need a little tweaking to help with the high contrast of Polaroid film but nothing too drastic.

@apkeedle Good to know! I found that the Impossible labs needed a LOT of massaging.
