Polaroid Week Part II

These are the last photos that I have to share for polaroid week this year - I'm a little sad that I don't have any for tomorrow, but overall, I'm just really happy to be taking part. 

It is results like these that make me wish I had an unlimited supply of pennies to spend on film :)

A year later...

I took these photos about a year ago when Adele came to visit and I thought it would be interesting to share a comparison shot to how they were and how they look now.

I'm not really surprised by the comparison as I knew that the Impossible Project film at the time was much more unstable than it is now (they've come a long way in a year but I still think they have a way to go...) and I've been fascinated with the differences, particularly the patterns. I can't decide whether to be sad that they've changed so much or not though.

It will interesting to see if the photos that I took earlier this year will have changed much in a years time too I think.

Have a great weekend! 

12 for 2012 - Camera 3

As part of my 'take more photos' goal for this year - I decided that I wanted to use more of the cameras that I haven't actually used before in my collection. I'll admit that March's camera nearly didn't happen... I had an idea to use one of my unused 35mm cameras, but the month flew by and it got to last weekend and I realised... oops, it's 31st of March.

Luckily for me, earlier in March the Impossible Project film and polaroid camera that I won from One Pearl Button arrived (Thank you so much again Alli!) and I decided that March was the month to try it!

Rather than using the camera that arrived with the film (I think I'll pop the B&W film in there) I decided to try out the first polaroid camera that Thomas found for me in 2009, I remember being so excited about it at the time so it seems unbelievable to me that I still haven't used it...

Overall, I'm undecided on these photos... I love polaroids but I think that I love otherphotographerspolaroidresults more than I ever like my own. How do they do it?! These results to me look really green (and I'm not a fan of green in photos) and I am still disappointed by the undeveloped patches (apparently a known problem to The Impossible Project but still...) especially in that last photo, there should have been a beautiful blossom tree there.

Perhaps I'll get the hang of them eventually. Or perhaps I'll leave it to the more patient experts...

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.
