Polaroid co-founder Edwin Land with an SX-70 and an SX-70 snapshot in his Cambridge, Massachusetts office on November 1st, 1972. Photo: Joyce Dopkeen/Getty Images What makes a gadget great? You might argue that it’s determined at least in part by how many lives the product in question touches. Back in 2005, when I helped choose a list of the fifty greatest gadgets of the past fifty years, we ranked the Sony Walkman as #1 and Apple’s iPod as #2.

Fabulous gizmos both; I suspect, however, that they wouldn’t have topped the list if they hadn’t been bestsellers of epic proportions. The SX-70–specifically, the SX-70 which I bought at an antique store in Redwood City, California in April of 2011. But greatness isn’t a popularity contest–not primarily one, at least. In 1972, instant photography was no longer a novelty: the world had been introduced to it in 1947 when Polaroid co-founder Edwin H. The cover of Polaroid’s SX-70 brochure didn’t demonstrate any false modesty. How to open the SX-70.

Custom Made Heat Absorbing Optical Filters - UQG Optics. Canson Infinity - Baryta Photographique 310. Welcome. Ammonium Dichromate and Bichromate Supplier In UK - Ammonium Dichromate. The Cyanotype Process. The cyanotype process was one of the first non-silver technologies used to create photographic images. Originated in the 1840's, it was not utilized in mainstream photography and was adopted as a copying technique, becoming known by the term "blueprint", with its blue background reproductions of large architectural and mechanical drawings. To begin the process, two solutions are prepared for the two-part sensitizing process. Material sensitized with the solution is then printed by ultraviolet light. Variations of the original formula involve different ratios of the following chemicals: (1) Potassium ferricyanide and (2) Ferric ammonium citrate (green).

Too much potassium ferricyanide in the solution will lower printing speed; too little may cause the blue color to bleed into the lighter areas. Basically equal volumes of the two solutions are used. Below are several more commonly used cyanotype recipes. Solutions may be stored for several months in amber glass bottles. Solution A: Solution B: Camera repair, digital camera repairs & lens repair. Repair Specials... Canon EOS 5 - The mode dial becomes loose or ineffective - Requires a modified mode dial to be fitted. Canon T90 - Shutter not firing - Quite common, the release mechanism requires repair and adjustments. Digital cameras using Compact Flash cards - Canon 5D, 30D, 400D, Nikon D70, D200, Coolpix 5700 plus many others - Watch out for bent pins in the camera or hard to insert cards.

We get a lot of them in with bent or snapped off pins, this can cause other problems. We can normally sort this out for you. Digital SLRs and compact cameras - Cracked LCD screen - This is a common problem, the LCD screens are made from very thin glass and can crack if pressure is applied to the outer plastic window.

Kodak Carousel projectors - Slide magazine not moving on or slides shoot up into the air - Service and adjustments are required. Home. Wolfgang Moersch Fine-Art-Printing & Photo-Chemie. Extreme Macro Photography. My Golden Polaroid SX-70 | JAY VERSLUIS. Ever since Impossible Film came out, and especially after playing with Paul’s camera, I kept thinking that an SX70 would be a very nice addition to my collection.

The trouble is that since Impossible Film came out, those cameras have gone through the roof on eBay – gone are the days when you could pick them up for a tenner. Every once in a while I do a quick sweep on eBay and see what’s on offer, usually disappointed about having to spend £100 or more, so I look over to my trusty Polaroid 600 I got for £2.50, the one that started my Polaroid Adventures Addiction. Much better I kept thinking. A little while ago I came across an auction for a GOLD PLATED Polaroid SX-70. Only 500 were ever made to celebrate the tremendous success of the Edwin Land’s integral film and the easiest instant picture ever: The iconic square Polaroid. Here’s a rare collector’s item that only comes up once in a blue moon. The Auction The Golden SX-70 was located in Reno, Nevada. Patti was wonderful! Sleepless Nights.

Wet plates supplies | Home. Tuf-Flock Velour | Creativity Backgrounds. Fibre Based Papers - PermaJet | The Imaging Warehouse. Introducing the PermaJet Family of Fibre Based (Baryta) Papers with traditional darkroom qualities making them the perfect digital alternative to the original darkroom materials. Being available as Matt, Neutral Gloss or Warmtone makes the range truly reminiscent of the acid-free fibre-based material still used in darkroom printing today. The surfaces are instant-dry and have scuff-resistant finishes making them ideal for use with dye and pigment based inks.

In independent tests of over 200 fine art and photo inkjet papers, they have yielded the very highest D-MAX, colour gamut and skin tone accuracies, in turn creating truly excellent greyscale for monochrome images. Overall, an extremely versatile paper range for both colour and monochrome digital printing. The unusual FB Warmtone version is 10 points warmer than the standard Fibre Base Gloss.

Blow-Up | John Hooton's Photography Tips and Stories. In 1966, Michelangelo Antonioni was looking for a location to shoot his cult Cannes festival award winning film starring David Hemmings, Vanessa Redgrave and Sarah Miles, Blow Up, and hey, he chose where I worked as a photographer’s assistant to John Cowan! He was introduced to John Cowan by Terence Donovan at Cowan’s studio. The studio was originally a barn for horse hay and straw, and had a unique atmosphere of excitement. There was a flat at one end of the studio with a huge screen that overlooked it.

Antonioni knew immediately that this was what he wanted. This was the time of my life. First glimpse in the film of 39 Princes Place as 'Thomas' rolls up in his 'Roller' The studio was at 39 Princes Place, Princedale Rd, off Holland Park Avenue, London W11 – the Notting Hill area. Garage doors with working darkroom through the door on Thomas's right During filming I spent much of the time doing John’s prints in the darkroom entered by the small door just inside the garage barn doors.
