Project Polaroid Part 1

/6 Reacties/in , /door

It’s no secret I like to photograph. But what I love even more about taking pictures are the fabulous accessoiries that help me make beautiful pictures. The tripod…the high quality lens…the software that can make it seem the sun shined brightly the day I shot the picture (but secretly it didn’t and you could certainly tell if you saw the original picture)… I’m one little spoiled princess when it comes to shooting nice, blogworthy pictures.But then I got this Polaroid camera for my birthday.
It’s just a plain camera.
No excape routes with this device, you need to actually now how to photograph when using this one.
Oops. I shot a few pictures and, of course, I didn’t like them…at all. The fact that I took them during the most dark season of the year, didn’t make things better either.

I think I just needed to get my head around the fact that making Polaroid pictures is all about fun and that the retro-like feel of the pictures gives a whole new dimension to making them. Especially after reading Anki’s enthusiastic Lomo-posts on her beautiful blog Zilverblauw (which is also about her gorgeous colourful home and totally worth checking out) I decided it was time to make peace with the Polaroid again.

To celebrate our refound friendship, I took the Polaroid for a ride to a deer forest nearby. We had quite some fun! The sun was shining, the deer looked sweet and fluffy and didn’t move too much, so we could take some nice, sharp pictures. I even showed my sweet Polaroid friend around in one of my favourite thriftshops, to seal our lifelasting friendship.

A happy ending after all, I love that!

    Ooohh ze zijn prachtig zeg! Hertjes zijn altijd de moeite van het fotograferen waard. Echt goed gelukt!
    Is het zo’n nieuwe Polaroid, zo’n instax? Die wil ik ook nog ooit een hebben, lijkt me heel gaaf.
