Shield images with box type cameras

Marlene Kelnreiter | Jan 15, 04:50 PM

Impossible images are super sensitive to light after exposure, pictures have to get shielded from light IMMEDIATELY as they get ejected from the camera – the first few seconds are crucial!! There are several tricks how to shield the image from light upon its ejection from the camera – see all tricks when using a box type camera here.

Insufficient shielding will typically result in very light, low contrast images. With the PX 70 PUSH and PX 680 film, poor shielding will also result in a strong pink or orange haze over the picture.

We'd love to hear your thoughts, please leave your comment below:

  3. Excellent tutorial! I’ll use the video and a text translation to spanish in my website with all the credits, of course, if you don’t mind.
