Polaroid SX-70 Photo Gallery by Rene Hales at pbase.com

Polaroid SX-70

This is work I have done over the last few years using SX-70 time zero film. Images are scanned with a 4870 Epson Photo Scanner and some are corrected a bit in PhotoShop, but the main manipulation occurs directly on the film. See other Polaroid processes here https://pbase.com/halesr/polaroid

Delighted to see some alternative process work! An inspiration to get back to some of the techniques. I guess with the end of SX-70 film, these images are going to be collectors' items. Refreshing! Stay inspired; keep working!

Very original and creative processs. Intresting compositions too. Artwork I think. You get my vote, of course!

Cory Easter		01-Sep-2006 02:55
Great work. You had stopped by the SX-70 gallery asking about the phasing out of Time Zero film. Polaroid has something up on their web site saying it was going to be discontinued earlier this year....http://www.polaroid.com/sx70/en/index.html If you have not stockpiled a bunch you should probably get your hands on some while you can.

Guest		18-Jul-2006 15:26
Very clever stuff

Yves Rubin		12-Jul-2006 02:04

Guest		20-Apr-2006 17:01
Very nice works! I had an old SX70 but never ever master it. Could you enlighten some skills on how to manipulate the film to achieve quality like your photos?

Guest		11-Apr-2006 23:50
Very original and creative. Voted

G�nter Hofst�dter		07-Mar-2006 23:41

Great effect -- am tempted to go out and get me an old Polaroid camera just to try this out.

Guest		06-Feb-2006 19:10

Even after looking at your Polaroids several time, I find myself drawn to look at them again and again. Lovely work and a wonderful eye, Rene. DURR

David		11-May-2005 15:39
Who says you need a nikon......

Mary Bowles		30-Apr-2005 13:19
What an amazing gallery. I adore the effects and information. But, "manipulation occurs directly on the film"? Very mysterious. The effects are beautifully suited to the subjects. Altogether surreal and impressionistic. I shall be back.

Ron Horloff		13-Apr-2005 22:43
I really like the effect you have on these images - quite beautiful. Ron

nige50		12-Apr-2005 14:06

Leslie Cohelan		12-Mar-2005 06:44
these are some beautiful images...I thoroughly enjoyed this gallery...especially "KY Govenors Flowers"...beautiful images all

Guest		10-Mar-2005 23:43
these are amazing. i have that camera/film at home and have forgotten about it until now. any pointers on how to do it as good as you have done?

Eldar Kadymov		28-Feb-2005 03:45
Regardless on how it's done, it's simply amazing ! I just cannot belive that this all is straight from the film ? Vote, of course, but its some secret for sure !

Marielou Dhumez		23-Feb-2005 23:09
Lovely gallery ! Is that Bonnieux in Provence ?

gary becker		22-Feb-2005 15:07
Simply an amazing gallery. Each one is a gem. Great work, Rene.

Guest		13-Feb-2005 05:37
Rene, this is very new to me. How amazing! Please, can you put an explanation up here on your gallery? I gets my vote, no matter how you are doing this. Please keep doing them. And do stop by my galleries once you get a chance.
