Polaroid Photo Gallery by Rene Hales at pbase.com

Polaroid

This gallery contains images created using Polaroid films. They have been created and then scanned using a flat bed scanner. The gallery includes Lifts and Transfers. I moved the SX-70 manipulations to their own gallery. See them here https://pbase.com/halesr/sx70_manipulations

Very nice images! I have a few Polaroid 669 transfers of my own, but they aren't anywhere near as good as yours. Great job! GMV.

I love the effect of these polaroids. I saw a similar gallery recently and like these a lot. Great photos.

Just came from visiting your SX-70 gallery and am enjoying this one every bit as much. Reminds me once again that sometimes less sharpness, less saturation of color, less detail can work together to stimulate the imagination and create an image that says more. Thanks for posting.

My hobby is photography and my equipment is only a simple compact digital camera. I'd like to improve my skills to earn extra money. Comments (good or bad but hopefully good), tips & suggestions from professional photographers, amateurs, & guests are very much appreciated. My trial account will expire soon so please email me at jakemontero@hotmail.com http://www.pbase.com/bucari Rene, many thanks for the space. Your pictures are my inspiration. bucari

beautiful

Guest		26-May-2005 15:06
This one is my second best favourite album in your gallery. I like the yellowwish color of Polaroid. It has its own character which is perfect match with your style. I always wish to do such effect to my pictures in Photoshop but still not yet success.

John Beck		17-May-2005 16:42
Very interesting Rene. I wonder if this process can be duplicated in PS. A very attractive, arty,(in the good sense), gallery.

Guest		09-May-2005 16:15
Rene, what a beautiul Gallery. Your images keep me coming back for more. I love them.

Exceptionally creative and artistic gallery. I thought of Jill and Anje Kroger when I saw these and then saw Jill had already commented. Worth all the effort and craft.

Guest		23-Mar-2005 00:12
This is an incredible series of images.The dreamy moody atmosphere of the B&W images are especially moving.Glimpses into delicate almost ethereal escapes.The viewer is encouraged to imagine and ponder.Which is a rare attribute in the case of most photographs nowadays.Superlative creative work.Very inspirational.I'm voting for this gallery!

Guest		18-Mar-2005 12:59
these are fantastic. i have no idea how to do this type of thing...i'll be lucky this spring if I can do anything nice with my SX70

Guest		15-Mar-2005 03:02
Rene, these are really great images!

Della Huff		11-Mar-2005 22:13
Great gallery - don't see many polaroid transfers anymore. You definitely have a gift here. They're beautiful.

J Ponces		06-Mar-2005 15:47
Superb gallery. Sometimes, old equipment still gives better results....

cat bounds		04-Mar-2005 01:31
Gorgeous, Rene. I've been wanting to do transfers for such a long time, and all my toys keep getting in the way. You've inspired me to quit putting it off!

Marisa Livet		20-Feb-2005 17:40
I really adore this gallery. I'm totally unable to guess the technique you used, I'm not skilled for techniques at all, I simply mess around, but this gallery is so delicate, so elegant , so special, I love it! Marisa

Guest		18-Feb-2005 21:18
Really cool gallery!

Guest		15-Feb-2005 20:36
I love it, just love it, can you recommend what a user of digital camera and photoshop might do...to get this look? I would love to give it a try. Any suggestions?

Jill		20-Jan-2005 15:31
Rene: All of your galleries are exceptional. However this is one of my favorites. I aspire to the technique as well only using Photoshop. Have not achieved the effect as this brilliant work. Thanks for sharing.

Guest		08-Jan-2005 21:19
Rene, how did you learn these sort of techniques? I assume there was a course involved somewhere. Particularly like Maple and Echinacia, they are the sort of things I would expect to see on a card in a shop somewhere, or in a frame in a shop. They are lovely pictures. Unfortunately all my local colleges (in UK) were fully booked for photography courses so I'm trying to learn what I can from people on here.

Carol		08-Dec-2003 19:46
I LOVE Street Cafe... among others, of course.

Libragrrrl		25-Nov-2003 21:32
I love these! Looking forward to seeing more.
