Grant's Tomb and Riverside Church

we can hope that they go agead and start making 55 for 8X10

That is from your apartment window right? Hell of a view, and nice shot of it. Forgive my colorblindness but is that really in color? Makes a hell of a BW. No PS needed for desaturation my desaturation is natural.

Ahhh...Columbia owns the entire upper West Side by the river...LUCKY YOU!! Actually, it's a very nice shot..the oval, a brilliant appendage to Grant's Tomb and Riverside Church. Color will be welcome here with all the opportunities you'll have for late evening light.

Great shot...love the mono-tone look of color prints like this, and the sharpness - well like I said Great shot. Yeah, the price per sheet is what keeps me from trying 8x10 polaroid transfers..but still want to.

Dave,

Very nice, the detail here looks lovely....will you be doing portraits?

Thanks, guys. I am indeed lucky always to have an interesting cityscape from my window. We could use a few more square feet inside the apartment, but it's hard to beat the view.

I should offer to team up with dagor77 one day. He used to post a test shot of this parking lot, which I'm guessing was behind his apartment, with every lens he sold on eBay, and I guess when his reputation became more secure and he started selling more lenses he stopped doing that. It was actually a really interesting way to compare lenses, because it was always the same parking lot, but unfortunate that it wasn't a more attractive view.

There wasn't much color in this winter scene, but there would have been more with better filtration or if I'd waited for better light, but I just wanted to test the processor. It wasn't that hard to use, having gone through the process, but the instruction manual with its sequence of 31 illustrations (read: "31 opportunities to ruin a $9 sheet of film") was a bit intimidating.

I'll definitely be doing some portraits with this.

Type 809 isn't that sharp compared to film. Polaroid rates it at about 9 lpm, compared to 20 lpm for type 804, and even a grainy film is usually more than that. 9 lpm is enough for a final Polaroid print, but I wouldn't be inclined to dupe and enlarge it.

looks like those old autochromes. very nice David.

$9 very well spent..any photo that includes ME is worth at least that much (we're just in front of that cluster of tall buildings at 1 o'clock ). I LOVE the colors. This reminds me of old tinted postcards of the area before the West Side Hwy ruined the walk down to the shoreline. Progress.

I thought I recognized you there--

Great shot, David. When i fist saw it i thought it was hand-colored B&W...
