Good job! Seems like we are all trying new things these days. It's what makes photography fun after all:) And thanks for the comment on my blog! I love how it came out! Good job!

I posted all of my crazy shots on flickr. I think it's weird what gets "favorited" over at flickr - a couple of my seriously overexposed-looking ones have gotten some looks. I had trouble with fuzziness/blurriness, too. I did get a few clear shots - but not outside. That was difficult, especially with the wind. When I figure out how to fix my broken camera, I'll get back to experimenting! I think it might be interesting to try some sort of bag-thing over the photo rather than just the darkslide. Gotta hand it to them, so many of us are now obsessed with the film - mainly BECAUSE it's so fickle! I feel like a drug addict. {ok, not really, but i am in withdrawl} Not so bad, really.

I would suggest trying to get some standard 600 film on ebay. The Impossible Project sell it in their store but they are all out at the moment. Good luck with the auction! Anna, thanks for that tip. I'm finding that sun is not this film's friend. I just did another test indoors and it was much better than my other shots. I'll find the shade. Yeah I read that too Teresa, I'm just not sure where to stick it. I've accidentally put my finger in front of the door before and it caused my camera terrible problems. That's a good idea with the bag. Alli, I'm off to check your shots out. I've tried moving the dial more towards the black and that also helped. Thanks Catherine.

It's funny, I also posted about my first try with PX-100 today! The first pack that I tried was faulty (an issue with the battery, it seems), but I managed to get one shot out of it. I'm so happy with the film - the tones are gorgeous and I love the experimental aspect of it. For shooting in the sun, it seems like taping the dark slide over the front of your camera (to cover the picture as it ejects) works well - in my limited experience, the sun (even in low light) can't touch the blue layer at all or it will over expose.

Of course, my SX-70 shoots out film slightly wonky, so I might have to go the dark bag taped onto the end route when I finally end up ordering some of the first flush film!

It's a very fickle film...both with light and temperature. I've quite enjoyed the challenge. I can;t wait to see more of your results! Shady shots are best, at least they were for me.
