[peter schmid]

hey. i'm new around here, i thought i'd introduce myself a little and show some of my work. my name is peter, i'm a music industry major at cal state northridge, i do a little car work on the side (mostly maintenance), and i've been doing film photography for about half a year now. i like to keep my equipment simple, so i use a polaroid sx-70, holga GCFN, and a canon eos rebel T2.

#1

#2

#3

#4

#5

#6

#7

#8

#9

I like some of them, but a couple are just boring.

[haywoodeee]

3 6 and 8 have the most potential.. but they are all just blah and boring..

[Cliche]

Congratulations on not sucking horribly at this, thats the best compliment youll get in this forum.

Best cat I've seen come through here in a while
(That's not an amazing compliment, but I'm going with Cliche on this one)

Those polaroid shots are relleay awesome. I didn't know someone could take such good shots with one.

[N0SEY]

Some of those look strangely familiar.

I've got no experiance in photography, but i'm liking #2 and #8

I sort of like all of them.
Favorite would have to be the windmill picture.

[Invisionpaintball]

do you like your canon eos rebel? i'm thinking about getting one.

[PKT1106]

The third picture has a lot of potential. It's too grainy, in my opinion and it needs something to contrast the skin/light behind it. Maybe some blood (read: red coloring on the arm) to make it stand out.

saying that they are all borring is sorta moronic cause these are definately the best that ive seen in a long time. all of the polaroid ones are really good.

the lighting in #8 is very good.

[satanisanerd734]

i love all of your shots except for the 6th one and the last one...

the others are beautiful.

lmao.. they are PS'ed that way. lol

But I actually enjoyed about 80% of them.

They all have a nice artsy feel to them.

kinda like a picture youd seen on a greeting card, or maybe those pictures that come in a new frame when you buy it. lol...

or maybe its just too early..

but

and Haywoodeee. damn kid you are harsh... I havent seen anything better from you hommie

BLASPHEMY!

jk, fellas. I finally made my best bud create an account here. All i've been doing is talk about the photo section so I finally made him create an account. We go out shooting almost weekly.

Enjoy your stay, Pete.

PS- In Pete's defense, the actual polaroids look much better in person, scanning ****s them up.

[TheLPB]

okay cool, i thought we were getting shens'd. i like your stuff a lot, can i ask where you get your polaroid film? all the stuff i find is fairly expensive

[N0SEY]

I love Polaroids. They're really fun. I wanna grab a medium format Polaroid someday.

you should get a large format if your going to do polaroids.

search polaroid type 55. it is both a positive polaroid and a negative sheet of film in one polaroid.

[N0SEY]

Sweet Jesus, that sounds awesome.

The more I look at the polaroids the more I think they could be in a national ad like American Apparel or another high fashion ad.

Good colors in them.
