SX-70 Manipulation
Bonnie C. Lackey September 15, 2004
Fascinating effects...nicely done! #169149Joannie Bertucci September 15, 2004
Kevin, I love this image and the effect you used! It looks like this town is wrapped in plastic to keep it pretty and fresh! #784126Kevin Elliott September 16, 2004
Joannie, Bonnie, Thanks.This is a small mediaeval town in the heart of Bavaria close to the village where I live. Modern photos look too cl,inical and/or tourist guide like. I think SX-70 manipulation method suits the subject well and for me captures the age of the town, despite the rather modern cars and bicycles.

Great work Kevin. Congrats on your win.Barbara Gordon October 18, 2004
Congrats! Love the photo manipulation!! #854867Kevin Elliott October 18, 2004
Everyone, thanks I'm overwhelmed.Donna P. It's not difficult getting started, in fact it's great fun. Getting the effects you want takes a little time and perseverance. Try experimenting with different sized styli, stroke patterns, and film temperature. There's a reasonable amount of info on the web, a good starting point would be http://www.kathleencarr.com/
who is, I believe, an instructor at here. She's also written a book or 2, available through amazon (recommended). Cameras are cheap on ebay, film's still available, but a little expensive. Good luck and I'm sure we'd all love to see your manipulations here. If you want to know more, contact me offline at kevinelliott at hotmail dot com

Wonderful shot, congratulations! #857517Susana Matos October 19, 2004
Congratulations! I just love this work so much that you almost made me feel jalous!!! LOL!Brenda Tharp October 19, 2004
Well,Kevin I must add my compliments to the long list of kudos for this image. A very nice effect. Are you taking Kathleen Carr's class or did you? For Donna P, the technique uses an older style polaroid camera, the instant type that spits out the front, and then as Kevin mentions, you manipulate the image while it's developing but before it hardens. It's great fun!! Good work, Kevin! #857928Kevin Elliott October 20, 2004
Thanks everyone again. Nice to think that many people love one of my personal favourites. Brenda, I haven't taken any courses, but I do have 2 of Kathleen Carr's books, they've been a great help. Highly recommended, but as she points out one needs to experiment, learn from failures and improve.Kev #857946
