Shadows - A Polaroid Flip Mini-Project

It’s a few days after Christmas and I hope everyone enjoyed their time with loved ones and appreciated a little slow down. I hope you even got at least one thing you really wanted!

I know I did.

I couldn’t tell you how excited I was to open a Polaroid Flip from the Wife. B&W film was the first thing I loaded into that bad boy. The first shot I took was my little brother and mom by the Christmas tree and it came out…TERRIBLE lol. Overexposed…like a lot. They were also kinda blurry. I think I got one picture I liked on that pack of film haha. According to Reddit, It turns out the sonar focus on the flip works better when fully charged . This made me excited to actually charge it since taking it out of the box and try again.

Another thing I missed when working on Polaroid since using Polaroid One Step - black and white film. The first and last time I ever used it was MOOONTHHHS ago for a Photoshoot- they stopped making B&W 600 Polaroid film shortly after. I ordered a 3 pack of B&W I-Type film from Polaroids website and eagerly waited for more film.
