“I always say, “There's a big difference
between a subject that's lit well and one that's well lit."
In other words, I like shadows; they define the shape of a three
dimensional object in a two dimensional medium. Polaroids tend to
be a bit contrasty, however, and don't reflect the detail that the
film is capable of holding in the shadows. I simply look at the
negative side of the Polaroid to analyze shadow detail. It’s
best to look at it in strong light, like a modeling light, and relatively
soon after pulling it since it continues to develop, becoming dark
and unusable."

“Kodachrome 200 reciprocity color shift is towards
magenta when the film absorbs light a exposures longer than 1/2
second. The magenta shift is very pronounced in ten second exposures.
However, I have found that the color shift is well balanced for
color correction to daylight when shooting indoors under fairly
new fluorescent tubes. Kodachrome 200 slides made in these conditions
usually have a fairly clean white available light color balance."
