Whitby Polaroids Part 2

My luck with this camera seems to vary, it's a very different approach to my other cameras and the learning curve, especially with the colour film seems to be quite steep, but boy I still love it, even when I overexpose or underexpose my photos.

Camera: Polaroid Land 340
Film: Fuji FP-3000B and FB-100C
Location: Whitby

Oh my...

Sometimes I stumble upon photos on Flickr that truly take my breath away... and these photos by Andrew Millar taken with the newer Impossible Project films and a SX-70 have done just that.

The colours, tones, light and subject matter in these are just stunning and I always have a weakness for photos of horses and silhouettes. But it's the top right photo that's my favourite and it alone makes me want to try even harder to populate my photos and to capture the lovely little moments of interaction between people. 

To see more of Andrew's photos, check out his Flickr photostream (I highly recommend it) or his Facebook page - you won't be disappointed.

What Polaroids Were Made For...

Yesterday my friend Diana posted a polaroid of herself from when she was little and it reminded me that I had found one of me whilst hunting through some old family photos earlier in the year that I hadn't got around to posting.

As you can see both Diana and I used to rock the bowl-styled haircut with white tights look in the mid 80's.

Kirkstall Abbey Polaroids!

Eeeeeee, we had the most amazing weekend ever! Adele is amazing and pretty and lovely and adorable and so kind... gah, I love her and I am still so happy that she came to visit (especially after her terrible journey to get here!) I have so much I want to share but first... polaroids. After chatting with Adele about the impossible film that we both tried, I decided to brave it and take the rest of mine with us on our walk around the abbey and they turned out well!!

{we kind of look a bit like ghosts...}

I'm so excited about them, I think the last two may even be shop worthy! What do you think?

I'm so glad that I tried using these again... now I just have to resist buying the new ones!!

p.s. you can't tell but Adele is wearing a yellow skirt... just one of the reasons she is amazing.
