Film - Fuji FP100c
OMG a post... It has been a while but rest assured more will follow.
This is the first post of what will be a project to reconnect with photography through just using various cameras. 'Shoot, Contact & Print' (SC&P) was how I approached each film whilst studying. I enjoyed the process of making contacts and studying the frames to see what you wanted to print. Although this first camera bypasses the contact stage as it is shot on Polaroid/Fuji instant film, it is still in keeping with the projects underlying theme which is there is no theme just the act of using a multitude of different camera formats. I started with this Polaroid camera as I have been longing to use it for years.
Well this camera was purchased about 5 years ago on ebay, just one of those 'ooh must have that' moments. Its a very basic design with a fixed focus distance which is set by simply placing the hood over an oscilloscope screen. It has a 70mm lens with a self cocking Prontor shutter, these cameras were initially made in 1972 for the UK.
So after years of it just acting as a dust collector I finally got around to using it, with the help of my Dad and his Hameg oscilloscope and waveform generator I got of 8 shots that I am quite pleased with. Due to the exposure being 8 seconds at f5.6 the more interesting frequencies could not be recorded.
