Congrats for this great Shot!
How did you resurrect Pods?

^ Thanks. What I did is sacrifice a pack of old 690 and strip out all the chemical pods. I then went into the darkroom and carefully pulled the Type 79 negative sheet out of the paper sleeve just enough to be able to remove the old dried pod and gently glued in the smaller 690 pod. All of this is done in the dark. As you can see, it works pretty well, although the colors are a bit off. I have done the same thing with Type 53 and Type 54 using 100 Sepia film pods, and Type 55 with 665 pods. I have to give credit to Arne (»link) who gave me some tips on how to make this process work. If you have some 4x5 Polaroid films that are dried out, try to add some different pods. You've got nothing to lose.

Beautiful ! Congrats

^ Thank you. Sometimes you get lucky and the film, lighting, (and votes!) come together in your favor. There were a few shots leading up to this one that weren't any good at all, if you must know. ;-]

Youhou ! Congrats !

^ Thanks! I'm never sure how these "pod swap" experiments will turn out, but the surprise is half the fun.

how poetic this chemical resurrection

^ Thank you. It is a good feeling to make unusable film usable again.
