When I was a kid in the 80s my dad used to take us out for a weekly walk and take instant photos with a Kodak camera and sometimes with a Polaroid camera, and when I looked at the photos I was amazed at how the picture appeared in just seconds. Now the video has come to show me how it was done. Thank you for making me remember those beautiful days and understand the secret of how the picture appears so quickly. Regards
I loved Polaroid! I had about a dozen cameras in my collection. From a B&W one my Grandfather had to the latest One Step I bought at Wal-Mart on their clearance table. Later on finding original Polaroid film was a problem before the Rebirth of the film company. I now use my phone to capture images. Nothing meant so much as deciding to use a Polaroid picture for an image. In the end, it cost about $1.25 per picture.
A Polaroid picture should not be flipped or shaken once it's been photographed. It is important to let the picture develop automatically face down on a flat surface without touching or flipping it, This is because unnecessary flipping motion can disrupt the chemical process and ruin the image while it's still developing.
Back in the pre-digital age, using Polaroid films for test photos, through the use of special accessory backs to professional cameras, was common. Their unique quality was acknowledged enough that even renowned photographer Ansel Adams devoted a whole book about Polaroid.
I have never used a Polaroid camera, only seen them in movies and I am intrigued.❤ I'm thinking of getting one. Has video been done on the vintage record player (turntables)? This was another marvel for it's time.
Has a video been done on Atomic Clocks? I have my own already, not everyone knows what they are or ever heard of one. Or lasers there are some strong ones out there and used in Fiber Services.
Shaking a Polaroid picture is not only unnecessary but can be detrimental to the image by disturbing the chemistry within the layers, leading to artifacts or other marks on the final photo.
