#1990sCameraChallenge

Holy crap! I completely forgot that I saved this amazing Kodak DC120, back in 2016, when it was going to get thrown out in an old-gear purge at the institution where we stay in Amman before going out into the field!

At the time I thought it was neat, but I didn’t have a cf card reader. So apparently I just turned it on, took a few test photos and then put it at the back of my storage shelf!

But it’s totally ready for the #ShittyCameraChallenge and even #1990sCameraChallenge

Beat up and dirty rugged case for the 1997 dc120

@analogfusion @ShittyCameraChallenge Oh, I have this post for the actually bad photos. The first roll I shot for the #1990sCameraChallenge I had a brain fart and could not figure out how to load the film correctly in the N70 and kinked the leader over so most of the roll turned out blurry because that kink kept fucking up the film plane as it rotated.

@ShittyCameraChallenge ... What? Who? Me?

Thank you. Thank you to the (late) @ShittyCameraChallenge for devising and organising the #1990sCameraChallenge, thank you to Mastodon for hosting the event, and thanks to everyone for all your kind words and support of my decidedly shitty images. The ShittyCameraChallenge is dead, long live the ShittyCameraChallenge.

I am quite thrilled and speechless.

So I left my phone charging while we went out and when I came back it was exploding with @moragperkins wonderful Polaroid emulsion lifts of my Gameboy trichromes for the @ShittyCameraChallenge #1990sCameraChallenge.

If you've not seen them the posts are attached below. It's simply a wonderful idea and has been executed with perfection. Thank you Morag.

Couple more variations on the theme.

I can't quite decide whether I prefer the neater square versions upthread, or these two with the more organic haphazard edges!

Normally with emulsion lifts I prefer them with some folds and creases and messiness, but in the case of these I think the neat squares work well with the pixellation?

Polaroid emulsion lift on a piece of A5 watercolour paper, showing the same image as the first one in this thread. The image is in colour, and shows two trees with a rich canopy of dark green leaves in the middle of the frame. The sky behind them is clear blue, fading to pink close to the horizon, and the grass in the foreground is a light vivid green. To the right of the trees a small building can just about be made out. The whole scene is pixellated; made up of a grid of small solid coloured squares, giving it an appearance like a cross stitch design. This emulsion lift is a little less tidy than the previous version, with folds and creases at the edges, and a missing corner at the top right of the frame.
Polaroid emulsion lift on a piece of A5 watercolour paper, derived from the same infrared image as the one earlier in this thread. The image is a surreal scene of a single tree against a clear blue sky. The colours are dark, rich and alien; the tree has a canopy of deep red leaves, and the sky fades from a deep rich navy blue through to a pinkish orange where the sun is setting in the bottom right corner of the frame. The whole scene is pixellated; made up of a grid of small solid coloured squares, giving it an appearance like a cross stitch design. This time the emulsion lift is a little less neat, with folds and creases at the edges. The top left corner in particular has been bunched up on top of itself, and there is a small tear in the emulsion.

The emulsion lift is quite tidy in this case, forming a neat square on the paper, with only slightly uneven edges.
