Guys, I've done it!!! You all can pack up your shitty cameras and go home.

*chuckles*

Yesterday I took a fresh pack of monochrome film out to Islais Creek and Pier 90 to shoot a really cool set of silos and loading cranes... and this is what the Polaroid Now+ coughed up.

Okay, to be fair, the grey industrial storage silos had about the same luminosity as the blue sky behind it but wow. It's as if a sketch artist started to draw something and then said nah, I'm hungry, I'll finish this another day.

Add: there's a light leak up and down the right edge of the photo. A LIGHT LEAK ON A PHOTO THAT IS ALREADY WASHED OUT!

Bonus points for that, i suppose.

@BobHorowitz this is legitimately great though, I love an overexposed Polaroid!

@moragperkins @BobHorowitz yes super awesome. Also might make a killer lift on the right paper???

A skill I've yet to acquire.

@BobHorowitz @moragperkins oooooo, well if interested, it’s easy to get started since all you really need is a bowl of hot water, some heavy paper, and maybe a pack of $0.99 watercolor brushes from the dollar store! 😅

@ChadHillPhotos @moragperkins I'll get there. I've seen a few good videos on the technique in the last few months. And the results, of course, look incredible.
