ditto!

^ Once again my friend...thank you for your many visits and adding to your favs!! The Polachrome CS was a film I waited for ever since Polaroid released the defunked instant movie system..hoping it would be 35mm or larger format in future production runs. Being a romantic at heart...I've always was drawn to the Autochrome plates of the 1900's. It was one of the many additive screen color systems that lasted many decades before Kodak introduced the multi-layer color neg/positive films. Polarchrome did have drawbacks, if you were willing to overlook them...grainy,surfac e scatches easly, low ISO ( 40 ). With that being said...on the positive side, cause of the additive screen on a single emulsion (B/W), colour responce was fairly even across the light spectrum ( except for the light sources). Amazing stuff...really!! I've done some experiments and perhaps in the future...I may make my own materals for additive screen images. Bye for now...Good Holidays to you and your family. John

Really like the contrast and colours. My favourite part of the picture is the shadow from the white chair, where it meets with the highlight of the table leg. Where is that light coming from, is it bouncing off the other leg? Great shot!

^ Gee...Thanks for the cool comment and and adding this 'oldy moldy' to your fav list. There was so much soft diffused light in the original location ( very subdued and soft and beautiful to the eye ). I metered for the light on the table top...so the lower image values went pretty dark rather quickly and changed the whole atmosphere of the image. The Polaroid Polachrome CS..was a bear for me to shoot...cause, with the combination of the additive screen ( like the old Autochrome plates from early 1900's ) it had an ISO of only 40. I always made sure, I had something for camera support ( monopole,tripod, wall...any thing stable ). Thanks for peeking in. John
