Oooh...it's so coool...

I don't know if I just got lucky or what, but I was able to find two packs of Polaroid 600 Film at CVS tonight. I'm kind of impulsive, so I didn't want to order them online and wait for the shipping. Hooray! So I grabbed both and sped back home.

There's a bunch of tutorials on how to modify the sx-70 to use 600 film. Most involve removing the filter from the camera eye, and adding a filter to the lens.

Since my first test was with an indoor light box, I only removed the filter from the eye, and also cut off the "nubs" from the film cartridge so it would slide into the camera. Initially, I used one light to bounce off the top of the box in the darkest exposure setting. But the standard bulb turned out way too yellow in the pictures. So I switched to a daylight fluorescent bulb, and then it became too blue. So ultimately, I used both bulbs and bounced them off from opposite sides. It took a few shots to get the white balance somewhat right. The exposure was left at darkest.

Here's the last and best picture I've got.

I guess choosing Baby for my first run wasn't so smart. Between trying to manual focus on him and keeping him from shredding my pillow apart, the compositions, or lack thereof, were poor. As you can see here.

I liked that final shot though. Hmmm...now what do I do with it?
