Love your photos Brad, are these scan from the print? And where are these beautiful places?
Just curious!

Thanks Robert. Yes they are the prints scanned. I made these photographs within a few miles of my home in Galeton, PA located in the mountains of Northcentral Pennsylvania. Here's a youtube video someone made of Galeton.

Our own Dante was giving away free stuff to forum members, and I picked up a pack of FP-100c from him. Then got a 250 and heres my first results!



Everything went very smooth. No problems with the film pack jamming or anything! Hooked! Cheers Dante! (now I need a flatbed scanner!)
 
I have, in the past, occasionally used polapan land film and type 55 for art photography, but it occurred to me that I may not be figuring in materials cost into my pricing correctly. I don't have this issue with silver gelaten prints, or other fine arts mediums, but given the finaite nature of my small supply, I could use some input from other analog photographers who are activtily selling works in Polaroid materials.
 
I finally sold my 195 last week. This picture breaks my heart. Stunning!

Ah man that sucks, but it makes sense with the way the film is now a days.

Funny story. The week after I bought mine Fuji decided to cancel the film. :bang: I paid high market price. A little over $500 and mine didn't even have a cover.

It was kind of heart breaking. Ive wanted the camera for about 4 years and never bought it. All that time I could of been shooting it for next to nothing. I think it was about a dollar a photo ($10-$12 per pack) when fuji was making it. Kinda kicking myself for procrastinating.

The crazy thing is, its still a better deal and easily better quality than shooting anything impossible project has. Even at the current pricing of fp100c ($20 a pack).

I wonder if fuji really did cancel it yet. There seems to be plenty of stock everywhere with fp100c.
