 Shot with a Polaroid Spectra camera using old outdated Spectra film (Impossible Project does make film for the Spectra, but I haven't tried it yet).

I was aiming for blurry. :)

I love blurry trees -- especially in your hands.

Well, two ways, actually - with a Spectra you can turn the autofocus off (which I haven't tried yet), or you can shoot through something that tricks the autofocus into focusing on that instead of the subject you want to get a shot of, just beyond it. In this case, I shot through glass, a window.

Although large has been attempted - here - but maybe as a publicity stunt more than anything else. And they do mention at the bottom of that post that they have an 8x10 project in the works. Imagine what they'd charge for the film if they made that available! :O

I really like the color I get with this film, although it's not all that contrasty. I did nudge the contrast a bit in post.
