Polaroid SX-70 - Impossible SX-70 Color film
It gets tough trying to do street photography at night with an ISO 150 camera and an f/8 lens ... ! But I like the feel of this photo anyway.
Thanks for looking! Comments always appreciated.

Ok, technically yeah, some motion blur. But the "mood" is right. I quite like this photo.

I like the mood Godfrey and thank you for keeping the Polaroid thread alive. I have been away from home for two months and have not done any Polaroid stuff.

Love the colors -- especially the lower right 25 percent of photo.
nice pic!
curious, what it the current best technique to make copies from a Polaroid print ?
copy to film in camera?
copy to digital camera?
flatbed scanner ?
or ?
Personally I think that image is interesting enough for you to sell signed prints of it!
Thanks,
Stephen

Thank you all, again, for the comments.
I don't know about "best," but I've done copies with digital camera and scans with flatbed scanner. The problem with scanning Polaroid integral prints is the glossy cover sheet on the prints: it is extremely reflective and difficult to work around, copies with a camera are difficult unless you treat the surface with an antireflective.
I use a jig that Impossible sells which holds the images a few thousandths of an inch off the scanner glass. This proves a successful trick and minimizes a lot of the other secondary problems. Using 1200 ppi as a rule it nets about a 16Mpixel image, which is quite good enough to reflect the detail in the original and very editable.
Print sales: I'm always open to print sales. But my primary intent is a book.

Love the light and the warm tones of this photo. The blur effect is adding a special mood, reminding me of the Woody Allen movie "Midnight in Paris"
I agree the best way to make copies is to use the Impossible scan holder. I tried to rephotograph them with an i.phone and then print with the Impossible lab but I need to improve the lighting side because the impossible film being very glossy always give undesired reflections, which by the way could be used in a creative way. Bacl to the photo, Bravo Godfrey!
