Pinhole photography with polaroid paper
Hello,
I aim to make pinhole images whith polaroid paper (for instant cameras, not peel- apart cameras with intermediate negative), with no polaroid backs. In dark room, I aim to extract one paper from its selling black box, and fix it in my artisanal pinhole camera with some adhesive. My problem is how to "develop" and fix the picture : What must be done to start the integrated chemical reaction ? must I wet the picture, compress it between rollers or something else ? Thanks for your answer ! Manu. |

Hello, I aim to make pinhole images whith polaroid paper (for instant cameras, not peel- apart cameras with intermediate negative), with no polaroid backs. There are a few articles on the internet about people doing pinhole images with various Polaroid cameras, or modified devices. Polaroid also sells a pinhole camera that works with the peal apart pack films. In dark room, I aim to extract one paper from its selling black box, and fix it in my artisanal pinhole camera with some adhesive. Sounds good, though be prepared to alter the distance to get the best results. My problem is how to "develop" and fix the picture : What must be done to start the integrated chemical reaction ? must I wet the picture, compress it between rollers or something else ? The instant films, like the 600, and the Time Zero (SX-70) films, need to go between rollers. There is a packet of chemicals at the bottom thicker white edge of the film, and the rollers push that out and spread it evenly over the film. This chemical is completely contained, unlike with peal apart films. The iZone films are different, and more like the peal apart films. If you find an old non working instant camera, you could pull it apart to get the rollers out of it. You might also want to try cutting it up to get the mechanism out, and place that into your pinhole camera box. The instant films contain a battery that powers the camera and mechanism. Thanks for your answer ! Manu. Sounds like a fun project. Please share some images (posted on internet) when you get it working. Ciao! Gordon Moat A G Studio http://www.allgstudio.com |
