    Thank you for the shout out and link!! Your photos look great, and I'm definitely trying some 600 film in my SX-70 Sonar to see how the lenses play into everything. I just need my ND filter to get here. ha ha. Another excellent video. :)

    Polaroids are great for portraits, in-door (using flash) or group photography taking profit of flat backgrounds (e.g. walls). Certain landspaces or stree photography I find it difficult due to its low lattitude and dybamic range (e.g. look at the shadows on your photos).

    I just wondering if camera 1000 can have 600 film or it MUST be just sx-70?

    Hello So that the photos do not leak light like 12:12, it is better to use a film protector, the problem is that it is very expensive for the function it has, it is best to stick a cardboard square in the upper slot of the camera.

      Hi 👋🏻 ohhhh so that’s what that part on the top of the photos is, a light leak? I wasn’t sure and suspected it might be. I will try this trick you have mentioned thank you 🙏🏻 hope you enjoyed the video I have new ones up every week so stay tuned 📸🙋🏻‍♀️👍🏻

    the outcast reference is right but just not for these types of polaroids. there was the old peel-apart polaroids which once developed you would peel away a layer off the film to reveal your photo. The ink would then need to dry hence shaking it to speed up the process of the drying. Sad fuji stopped making it. the colours were unreal as were the quality of camera you could couple the film with

      Hey Mark 👋🏻 thanks for watching! Ahhhh I thought the whole shaking thing must have been said for a reason I just remember being told to not do it with this type. I don’t know too much about peel apart film but I listened to the “analog talk” podcast interview with Jason Lee and he talks about using Polaroid peel apart on a road trip and it was really interesting. I highly recommend!! Thank you for your insight and for commenting I really appreciate it 🙌🏻🙋🏻‍♀️❤️🙏🏻

    I was quite surprised at how sharp the SX-70 photo's were. I only have an Impulse, which shoots 600, but I am definitely going to try and find an SX-70 in good condition now.

    • @LucyLumen
      @LucyLumen  3 года назад +1

      Hey 👋🏻 nice to hear from you again! Yes absolutely I was also shocked at the detail and the sharpness of the SX-70 film. The 600 is still great the I used the rest of the shots today of my brother holding my little boy and the detail in those was also great. SX-70 I think has something extra special about it though so I am glad to own both and have the option. Polaroid is so magical!! Thanks for watching 👋🏻🙏🏻❤️

    That sx-70 film is definitely worth its money, although I do like the vibe that the 600 gives off as well. I never used a polaroid camera before but those out-of-focus elements look so dreamy! 7:00 and 12:31 are my favourites :D

      Hello 👋🏻 yes that’s a great idea but I think I would prefer to do a zine of my 35mm stuff first as I have more of that.
      We have so many ideas and things we want to do it’s just finding the time. I think when my son is a little older it will become easier as he will be in daycare once a week and also can play independently. Now at 6 months he just wants me to hold him all the time and needs constant attention! I love him though, he is precious. 🥰

    I'm a big fan of these photos! I have never actually used a Polaroid camera, but I have shot Instax in my view camera and given away Instax photos as souvenirs to people who were curious about it.
    I have gotten into some kind of hairy situations here in the states, usually with older or middle age women when I've been out and around. "What do you want??" "Can I help you?" (Said quite aggressively as if insinuating something) "what do you think you're doing young lady" even when taking photos of flowers out and about. I wonder if it's just how it is stateside. At the same time I've made a few friends by coming back and giving people prints of photos I made in their location

    The film isn’t really that light sensitive anymore. They have come a long way.
    Polaroid never advised you to let it develop in sunlight but hiding it instantly from the light isn’t particularly necessary now but old habits die hard I suppose, lol.

    i love my Polaroid OneStep+. the results are rich, yet dull, which i love about Polaroid, it gives a moody tone. i also love FujiFilm as well for more convenient times, like a little party. it’s contrasty, even more than SX-70. the only thing i like better than Polaroid is it’s consistency, Polaroids is more sensitive to both light and temperature than the FujiFilms line of film. ESPECIALLY during the summer currently, the humidity and UV index here is not helping the temperature in the east coast of the US

    • @LucyLumen
      @LucyLumen  3 года назад

      Hello 👋🏻 thank you for this awesome comment! Yes I agree rich yet dull is a great description of Polaroid film and definitely moody and nostalgic. I have never owned a fujifilm instant camera before but have used many like you say at a party or gathering and they always look really good too, I think the skin tones look really nice from what I remember??
      I didn’t know this about the temperature and light sensitivity compared with Polaroid and Fuji though that’s interesting….maybe I will keep my eye out for a Fuji instant cam on Facebook marketplace so I have both options….🤔🙋🏻‍♀️🙏🏻 thanks for watching

      @@LucyLumen i actually owned an instax mini 9! instax film is very bright and punchy, almost always accurate color. the skin tones are amazing, and the colors really pop. the sensitivity is MUCH reduced since FujiFilm still uses their old and perfected formula, and they took out any harmful chemicals and replaced it with alternatives. if you want a convenient camera, get a mini 11 or SQ1. and for more advanced cameras, go with the instax 70/90 or SQ6

    Sx 70 film is like shooting 200 or 100 film with a 35mm. Best for outside w sun .
    600 iso film is above the 400 film ISO. 600 film can be for fast moving shots , flash, little concern to none w camera shake because of the speed.

    I had a SX-70 that I purchased when they were first released. Like you said it it too expensive now. But it was expensive when the system was first released. I now use a Fujifilm instax printer.they’re really flexible and I can makes straight from my Fujifilm camera or form any android or iOS tablet. And it’s really fun when you give them away. Plus you still have a digital image for printing even bigger copies.
