Leaves are often seen in contact prints.
Many photography enthusiasts enjoy playing with different exposure techniques to create interesting photographic art. One way to do this is by using Polaroid film as a contact print. These prints are made when an object is laid on top of the film while it's quickly exposed, leaving an outline of the object on the film. The contact print is usually black and white, or sometimes blue and white, not full color.
Instructions
1. Take your Polaroid 669 pack film into a dark room. Remove the top cover from the pack while the room is dark.
2. Place your object on top of the film. This may take a little practice, as you must line the object up with the film by touch in the dark.
3. Activate your camera's flash on its weakest setting. Put your film pack back inside your camera. Once it's firmly inside, turn on the room's light.
4. Pull the exposed film out of the camera and peel off the backing. Wait for the exposure to finish developing to view your contact print. If you'd like more definition on your contact print, use a stronger flash setting for the next exposure.
