I stopped to take photos of the sea and these guys came running up! Sheep are usually quite timid and run away but I think they were tempted by the polaroid, clever guys. They really did pose and start bleating away.
Camera Polaroid
Film Impossible Poor Pod
I love this shot and the way the sheep are so directly looking at the camera. You're inspiring me to pluck up courage to have a go with the Polaroid I found in a charity shop last week.
@janpenny Oh do it! One tip though is do not buy film on ebay as it's ridiculously overpriced. I've used the Impossible project and their newest films look amazing - it's not cheap but it's so much fun.

Thank you all for the comments - it is unusual for sheep to be so friendly! @aprilmilani Thanks April, I have a mix from ebay to Impossible but ebay is hit or miss. check out the Impossible Project, they started remaking polaroid film about 4 years ago and the forst lot wasn't great but I've stuck with them, I haven't had any for a while but images on their website shows some really lovely work. It is expensive and I always think hard before each shot as I know it's a couple of quid!! If you search Impossible Project you'll get info about them - former polaroid employees who saved the last factory in Holland!
Faved this. I am a polaroid addict and have bought a new camera recently. I did a stand at the school xmas fair the the kids were so not bothered by the magic in their hands - I am re-educating them for the next school event. This is the digital age...I love the unexpected nature of the Polaroid even when you plan them. Love this. Sheep always work!! (when they let you get close..)
@aliwarner Thank you Ali, I don't seem to have caught up with you for a while- my apologies! I'm a bit of a Polaroid addict too and my kids certainly aren't impressed with the magic but then they can print of anything from their computers - I can't even say it's an age thing as a couple of students I'm friendly with are mad for it! I still think there's a bit of magic involved :) thank you for the fav !
Really love your shots Ingrid, but as so often on 365, I often feel a bit overwhelmed by my lack of knowledge to say any more.....anyways they’re inspiring.
Must be lovely watching these develop Ingrid - wondering what little quirks your Polaroid film is going to give you! Love the strips of tone on this and love the composition through the gate! : ) fav
@rikshore Thank you Rik :)
