This morning I woke up eager to test out the SX-70 after replacing the photo-cell filter. I'm in the shower thinking of what picture I want to take when my brother yells at me from the hallway letting me know he's at the house. I quickly get dressed and go and talk to him. We discuss the camera and the fungus in the lens when I start telling him about the filter on the photo-cell. Then I ask him to go outside and pose for me because I hadn't tested it and I knew that anything to do with jeremy and a photo will be a riot. So, with the new "filter" in place and the exposure wheel set to slightly darken...
SUCCESS! A perfectly exposed Polaroid straight from the SX-70. WOOHOO! Now I don't have to waste anymore exposures trying to figure what's wrong with the thing. Now I can just focus on taking pictures.
--later---
Tiffany and I are at Chewacla soakin' up the sun when I take another, wanting to show her my triumph.
Again, another well-exposed image! I think I could have even left the exposure wheel at normal, what with her shadow and all.
So yeah, a good day for Polaroids and the SX-70. I couldn't be more relieved.
