I am extremely proud to be able to say that this is MY UNCLE! I can tell you that he has always been creative in many areas! Noyel is a pretty awesome human being and I am so lucky to be able to call him family!
This is so wholesome! Noyel is an amazing guy and this makes my heart swell even larger!
The mad scientist maneuvers for tintypes out of the sx-70 are so sick haha! Actually picking one of those up sometime soon, although definitely not going to be tintyping with it lolol. Rad video as always man!
Dude you need an SX-70 like the pope needs his hat, can’t wait to see what you do with it and thank you William for watching our shenanigans! Pure legend right here
William Sheepskin called me a mad scientist. I had no idea that was all I needed in life.
@@n_oeil Ahaha you legend! Just picked up that sx-70 and am now even more impressed with your tintype results having taken one test shot and promptly finding out that the thing leans towards overexposure lolol
I’m blown away by the fidelity of these tintypes coming out of the hacked SX-70. *mind-blown*
Me too G3, probably one of the most shocking elements of this is the sheer clarity of the results with the Polaroid lenses. It’s maybe the fullest example of both lens quality on these amazing cameras and the fidelity the tintyping process provides!

Holy crap, the quality looks nuts. I would never think the sx-70 was capable of an image that detailed
It's always so fascinating to be remembered of how coating a sheet of metal can give such stunning images!
Facts!! It remains astounding how much the original processes of image making got it so right with regard to “resolution.” It’s thanks to that shocking breakthrough that we have so many amazing historical images preserved with almost “modern looking” detail. Gotta love the ingenuity of early photo history ❤️❤️
The quality of the image blew my mind, was expecting something lesser, but the sharpness was insane, totally justifies the mad scientist process.
For real! Shows what is possible with these lenses and this process! Shoutout to the 1 ISO gang
This might be the coolest thing I've seen linked to an SX70. Thanks for bringing this to us.
Thank you for the kind words! Fitting that we're at the 50th anniversary of the SX-70
I can't even be considered an amateur photographer but I appreciate the art in this. Thanks for a great video.
I really like these wet plate photography. There's something magical about the process.
What did I just see??!? That was PURE magic and alchemy! Thank you Ben for this phenomenal video! Noyel Gallimore is such a talent and what a lovely human - so generous to share his artistry and love of photography! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
🥹 💕
So fortunate to have been able to have this experience with Noyel! Thank you so much for the kind words, I know he'll appreciate this!
I don’t consider all photography art but when I see things like this there is no denying that some truly artistic people choose to express themselves through photography. Thank you for sharing your art with us, Noyel. I hope to see you on the channel again soon.
Agreed Steve, a true joy to capture a slice of his work in this form!
This video is wild, Noyel is a genius.
This is definitely on my list of things I desperately want to try! I have a couple of tintypes in my studio from the 1800s, and they stare at me through time to remind me that I will learn this process! Great show as always- thank you for the brilliant content. I eagerly await your videos!
You're the man, Aaron!! Definitely worth taking a workshop at some point, I think everyone needs to get their hands on this process at least once!
This is amazing to see someone so dedicated in using such an old process in unique ways.
I'll never be happy again until I try tintype polaroids.
Completely understandable
I'm here in you need support 🙃
I practiced wet plate collodion (WPC) for many years. The WPC can create such incredible definition and detail. Go the the National Archives and download some Civil War images of Brady or O’Sullivan. There is one of Burnsides bridge in a wide panorama. If you zoom in, you can clearly see a soldier on the bridge in fine detail. I initially learned using Kodak Brownie cameras. Regarding this video, it might be easier to go outside with he SX70 with good sunlight and bulb mode. He did a great job here but getting the right artificial light is really difficult in studio. The original practitioners had sky light studios for natural light. This was a first for me in that I never considered using a Polaroid. Great job and video Ben!
This is an amazing process to be a part of and anyone watching should consider a trip out to Portland to meet Noyel and have your photo taken.
I can't stress how mind blowing this is. Simply stellar work!
Love seeing cameras hacked for purposes beyond their original design. These shots came out amazingly well and Noyel seems like the most pleasant human alive, like how do I become friends with him?
Noyel is an absolute angel, a fellow well met and a beautiful soul! I recommend you become friends with him immediately with whatever method makes that happen fastest.
I'll be your friend 🤠
Absolutely amazing technique! I Love to see these experiments, and always am inspired to go out and shoot some instant film.
I always found Polaroid interesting because of the instantaneous nature of the photography, but the images are horrible because they are all out of focus, but you did something surprising with a Polaroid!!! The photo is perfectly clear. I now believe that this is due to the type of media. As you adapted a media that is rigid, the image was clear. Since the Polaroid film is not rigid, it must curve inside the camera, leaving the images out of focus. With this video you confirmed what I imagined.
You are so much better than Netflix. I could binge watch your channel all day long!
If Netflix know's what's good for them maybe they'll chuck us on there 😂 - thank you so much!
@@InAnInstant 😆🤣
What a great video, technique, and image!!! So inspiring.
Super creative and brilliant! I'd love to make some Tintypes with my SX-70 someday, thanks for the inspiration.
This was one of the more inspiring things I’ve seen in my journey, definitely an amazing use of the form ♥️
Wow, the resolution of those images is amazing! Nice to know we have a legit backup if Kodak ever starts doing a Fuji and winds up film manufacturing.
Awesome work, it's great to see all these more experimental avenues of instant photography since you've covered the basics and the history so well in your earlier videos!
I’m so glad you’re digging it Christian! That’s very well put with regard to the philosophy of where I’m headed here. I appreciate the kind words.
Incredible stuff. Seriously magical
These are stunning! Excellent video and introduction to a fantastic form of photography!
Thanks so much CBH!
If you drop the front draw once you've pressed the shutter button, you've put the camera into bulb mode. To close the shutter, you just simply shut the front draw.
That’s certainly another option!
1. I love everything about this 2. I now have a huge crush on Noyel and his alchemy magic 3. love this community 4. extra love for Ben and your bombdigging awesomeness in sharing all this with us.
Thank you always for your love!! Also crushing hard on Noyel 😂
The community is so full of love 🥰
THIS IS WICKED COOL! I LOVE IT!
Lets Gooooo! been waiting for new content for a while
I love how professional and well put together your videos are. Just came across your channel. Obsessed!
So glad to have you here April-Rose!! Welcome to the Instantverse 🫡
Holy cow it looks a thousand times sharper than on instant film!
Yes by many multitudes!! Truly shocking!
Wow. It blows my mind!
Weird, I’ll have to try this! Never thought of doing this
That lower 3rd is *chef's kiss*
that is literally so cool.
Pur poésie argentique, magnifique !
How cool is this! I love the new ways of making old tech work. Maybe give my integeral film into an original 1947 Polaroid hack a try. Be curious to see what you get.
That would be awesome to try! Just throw it in a dark bag and it should definitely work!
THIS WAS FIREEEEEEEEEEEE! More artist visits please cause these are #BigForBusiness! ❤️
Thank you king!! Definitely want to keep doing these kinds of episodes and exploring people's unique artistic crafts!
Oh, and Pro-Tip for long exposures on the SX-70...after you press the shutter button (turning dial all the way), then open the film door while the shutter is open. This cuts the power to the camera, leaving the shutter open as long as you want. Close the door and be on your way. :)
Yes we did do that too! Great for night shots if you’re careful
Great interview. I gotta try this…
incredible
I would love to see more tin type photo! 🤘🏻🙌🏻
I wish I was smart enough to hack my Polaroid Colorpack II camera to be able to do this since the film is no longer available. This is so awesome!
It would honestly be WAY easier with the colorpack camera.
Wow! I've often thought if it would be possible to cut large format celluloid into a size to fit in a Polaroid camera, now I wanna see someone try that even more!
Definitely in the cards now!! I know some folks have done that before, def on my list of things to try
ooo I might have to try that next 😋
my mind is positively blown 🤯
This is so freaking cool!
That was cool.
Commenting to say I was here Day 1: amazing video 😎👍🏽
Much love to you my man!! Hope to see you again soon
Bout time you got a sponsor, quality content needs extra funding besides adsense
Much love James, so stoked to have Wasabi in the family!
insane and brilliant!!!!!

If this doesn't make me go viral, I don't know what will!!
Okay whoa that quality is out of this world and something I definitely didn't expect... One question I have, and I'm sorry if you've answered this before, but I'm wondering what you use to scan the photos in your videos?
Hi Itay! I have a scanning video you can check out: ua-cam.com/video/v4o24tsrTwg/v-deo.html
Second is the new first
Fully agreed
That is beyond cool!!! I so wanna try this ... but am a little scared to attempt it!!!
It was scary for me too! The last thing I wanted was to ruin my SX-70 with corrosive chemistry 😱 but, for the sake of the community, it had to be done 😌
Wow
GLOVES!
Expose me father
The exact chemicals used wasn’t discussed, but every tintype photographer I’ve ever met or watched used gloves because wetplate chemistry is very toxic. Perhaps you can address this in a future video.
Honestly even tin types are too modern for me, I'm going to be jamming a beet into my camera and exposing it to light until I get a picture
This guy has the right idea
Hahahaha anthotype will not work unfortunately cyanotype does I've tried it it's fun a whole day of exposure tho xd
En fait, ce serait beaucoup plus simple de photographier les photos polaroid avec l'application Hipstamatic de Iphone !
Okay, first thought was...I want to cut SX-70 sized pieces of Portra or Tri-X and rig my SX-70 to shoot negative film from 4X5 sheets...
you're not the first person to mention this, and I'm keen on trying it myself!
Interesting, but if he wanted to sync his sx70 to a flash couldn't he just use a mint flash bar then wire it to his strobes?
yep. even an old flash bulb bar would have worked with optical slave triggers. I just didn't have any at the time.
wow, what strobes were used ? :)
They're Speedotrons! I use 4800w/s 🤯
ISO = 1 Grain = Zero
