Hard to take a photo of a Polaroid. It’s so reflective… here is a better version in better light. You can still see a bit of a reflection, but it’s less dark.

Went for an early evening walk with my Polaroid OneStep+. This shot came out pretty dark, but still captured the scene in B&W decently. I like this simple method of shooting. #polaroid #photography #analogphotography #instagood #film #filmisnotdead #blackandwhitephotography

@EMULSIVEfilm @simonking_v Great article. I’ll take 35mm!

Getting back in touch with a Polaroid OneStep+ that’s been sitting in a closet a bit too long. #polaroid #film #beachlife

@LSUBarstool Widow Jane is excellent.

Brighten up your Rolleiflex (or any TLR camera) with a new Rick Oleson Brightscreen

@micahfries Solution: restaurants should charge more and pay their staff a decent wage.

@analogfusion My maxxum7 is amazing. The 5 should be too.

@tkmedia_tony @analogfusion My mother hid all her family jewelry and when dementia set in, she forgot where it was. Some of it was very old and irreplaceable. It took weeks to find as she hid it well. Does that count?

[Preston @Wakefanatic]

@tomnorthenscold Agree with you. To split hairs, if you do it for money, you are a professional photographer. If you do it for yourself and the love of the art, you are an amateur photographer.

[Preston @Wakefanatic]

@analogfusion LOL!

[Preston @Wakefanatic]

@analogfusion Wasteful? Maybe.
But it also forces us to toss out excess clutter. Your children will thank you in 20-30 years. My parents never threw out a thing and it was a nightmare when they downsized.

Playing around at the beach with my polaroid. Quirky but fun. Very limited dynamic range, but I love the way the images look(when they come out right).

@HubbardJeff IMO, between the Nikon DSLR and the phone, you pretty much have ‘new’ covered. Just a thought - consider trying something ‘old’ and different - a twin lens Yashica 120 MF camera costs less than $500 with a CLR and can be fun if you ever want to go retro.

[Preston @Wakefanatic]

@HubbardJeff I have an X100f and have loved it for years. But I find myself using my iPhone 12 almost exclusively now and the x100f gathers dust. If you just gotta pull a trigger:
X100 is good, but fixed lens.
Sony a6100 and 6600 are good and small.

@kimmiechem2 Laphroaig is full of Iife!

[Preston @Wakefanatic]

@3eyedmonster @BelieveInFilm Gotcha. I never let Xtol sit more than 30 days when mixed, and that was with a collapsing bottle that took the oxygen out. I’d just toss it, but run a test strip if you want. Xtol is really good, but the shelf life is poor.
Good Luck!
