Polaroid suggestions - please

October 19th, 2010
I have three (3) of these camera's and about 60 shots that I just HAVE to use, they are out of date anyhow.

I am not good at these - I shot off three yesterday in the kitchen and the colours are terrible - a very 70's look.

Can you please forward suggestions of what to shoot with the film so I don't totally waste them?

All ideas gratefully accepted in advance.

Are they the normal household polariod camera's? I used to have one of those and they were always awful, but good fun! My cow avatar was taken with one. Take anything thats bold, strong lighting etc was best for me - alternatively the film is really sought after as they stopped making it a way back - sell on ebay, goes for loads! lol.

@blightygal - yes household camera's. Thanks will look for bright bold colours - maybe graffiti. The film is out of date so I couldn't sell it, wouldn't feel comfortable doing that. Waiting for new film to come in to determine if the colours will be better.

@lily your colours are beautiful and soft - what program and actions? a set imported from deviantart or their links?

@misschuff - I mostly use Paint The Moon actions, and textures I find all over the net :)

i love the 70's look! my boyfriend's grandmother had one, and we had someone take a photo of us, not knowing if there was film in it or not. luckily there was, and we have a super cool pic of us on the fridge. :) i would probably take some of loved ones.

Carlita, I would not write off anything until you see what comes out. Editing today can help to create some really interesting pictures and you may find that the pictures are fine just the way they are. ;-)
