Polaroid X530 night experiment

A night shot at 0.5 sec. No tripod (just leaning against a wall).
This digital Polaroid reminds me sometimes the Polaroid film shots.

I got recently the Polaroid Book (from Taschen Books) and I got delighted watching those nice shots taken with so limitted resources. And thought that I could try to take some shots and frame them as if they were Polaroid film ones but with the X530.





Regards.

Jes.

Jes, can the camera shoot in square? Still waiting for my NIB to arrive
from Germany, can't wait to try it.

Excellent shot and treatment!

What a fantastic idea!

I once have written a Photoshop script for the Polaroid conversion. I just can't find it now... Sad

Hi Bill, thanks for your comment.

No, it shots standard size pictures. The framing is not mine, I found it Here, I was looking for the size of the Polaroid pictures and found it in the way Wink.

Regards.

I had to give a treatment a little aggresive to denoise and improve the contrast and sharpness... Smile

Thanks, Jes, for what I paid in shipping, I should see this camera very
soon! Hope to get some fall colors when it arrives. But today we have
high winds, horizontal rain, and tornado sirens going off every half hour. Sad

Jes, there is a free "polaroidizer" program, you should find it if you google, can not remember the exact software name.

Yeah, I stayed in when the lightning came on. Good call, eh? Laughing

Surely you would have been safe with a plastic camera... Laughing

There are several online options:

(1) http://polaroidizer.com/

(2) http://www.instantizer.com/

(3) http://www.mementonizer.com/


Original photo:


Task was to "polarodize" the image and show a note underneath "Once in the woods..."

(2)


(3)


IMHO #3 produces the best solution but I only can download that small image.

Interesting apps, Carsten, will have to give them a try. My NIB X530 from
Germany is waiting for me at the post office. This is a warning, get more
Visine for your medicine cabinet if running low. Laughing
