Palm Art

West Virginia

Polaroid CU-5, 1:1 frame. Fujifilm FP 100C.

The Polaroid addiction grows. The CU-5 is a macro camera. It has multipliers to increase magnification similar to using an extension tube on a regular film camera. You do not have a viewfinder. Instead there is a frame that attaches to the front of the camera which literally frames the photo. The lens has a ring flash. It does one thing only but does it well.

Okay, now that I've bored everyone to tears....:)

Element is Lines.

Other elements can be seen here.

Polaroid CU-5 ,Tominon 75mm
1/125s f/45.0 iso100 with Flash full exif

this is interesting and nearly self explanatory.

I think it is interesting. I don't have the patience to mess with them and find out what they do. A great sot Karen! I have spent many Lenten hours preparing these for Palm Sunday services. ;-)

Nicely done -- I like that you are separating the elements -- it's hard.

Wonderful detail and tonal range with this camera Karen. The product is definitely worth what seems to be major effort to make the image. V+
