Penistone Paramount Polaroids, 2011

When photographing at Penistone Paramount I decided to experiment using Polaroid Type 100 film, and I have to say that I was amazed by the clarity and exposure that I was able to capture. The quality and depth captured within the photographs transcended the argument over digital than manual photography.

The photographs below use 'Sepia' out of the 'Paul Giambarba Edition of POLAROID Type 100' taken on a POLAROID 104 camera.



I also used Polaroid 600 film (Silver Shade) to capture the Penistone Paramount cinema, within these Polaroids I was able to capture a greater depth of space and aura of the cinema. The polaroids taken focus mainly on available light sources, allowing for a highly contrasted exposure to be captured.

The photographs below use 'PX 600 Silver Shade film' taken on a 'Polaroid Supercolor 635' camera.



Finally I experimented with Polaroid 1200 film, as with the Type 100 film these Polaroids are focused landscaped rather than the usual portrait of 600 film. Also the 1200 film that I used was in full colour but the film itself had expired. These photographs focus on capturing the space as a whole but are still able to capture the atmosphere by the quality of difference between the colours.
