Description So this was completely a "mess up."

If I remember correctly, this was supposed to be a photo of some plants.

But the SX-70 did a long shutter speed, which resulted in me waving the camera around saying something along the lines of "wtf is it doing?!"

And this was the result. But I've fallen in love with it. The 3 streaks of colour are so delicate and beautiful.

Sometimes there is nothing more beautiful than a "fuck up."



Polaroid SX-70 with 600 Polaroid film; expiry 03/2002.

No shit, Sherlock!

I only hope that only the shot on the top of it will be scrap, since I literally took the film pack out of the camera in the store. It's not theft; the price was for the camera!

should be fine cos the back of the polaroid is black and usually stops the light getting through to the rest of the shots. the packs of film i've overexposed have been overexposed one gullible shot at a time. either leave that one on top or you should be able to put back a black shield if you save them (i have about 15...) so it doesn't eject the film first.

your lucky you see them in shops! there simply isn't a large enough market or secondhand or polaroid stuff in australia. what with the being so small.

I usually use another polaroid picture instead of the black shield (I don't save them )
I was more worried about the light getting between the polaroids by the sides or the opened front.. anyways, I'll see soon.
