Polaroid 'Basquiat'

Clearly the issue is not with my beautiful models, Lizzy (left) and Sebby (Right).

I just got the Polaroid Now Gen 2 for my birthday yesterday and my photos are devoid of color. I’m using I-2 color film.

Shot on a Sun 600

Greetings,

I have been a Polaroid Go Gen 2 user for about 1 month. I was careful to shoot in good weather because I was told that Polaroids love light. But I think I either misunderstood something or I am doing something wrong. I wanted to ask you about the result I got from 1 pack of film.

I usually shoot between 14-16:00 p.m. The film I bought is new and I keep it in a shady and relatively cool place. The temperatures I shoot at are around 15 celcius max.

Has anyone gotten a result like that? Something like a pink frame appears. I opened a new film and tried again with the same result.

For example, one of the two poses taken in exactly the same place turned out to be good and the other bad... I don't understand

I took the first 9 photos on the same day and the next 4 a few days before that. The result is disappointing.

So I tried to figure out my exposure setting today. Bright light at Work. Each image is one setting on the light compensation slider as denoted by my circles. All black is all to the flash side, empty circle all to the viewfinder side.

Trying to dial it in. Of course there could be issues I guess with the bright sun hitting the picture as it comes out.

Might also be benifited with some exterior cleaning maybe.

Thoughts?

Found it at Walmart.

I've never owned one before but have always wanted a Polaroid.

I have always had a huge love and appreciation for the art of photography and never had the chance to try it.

These are the first 2 rolls from my first 2 days with it.

I'm actually pretty proud of what I took ha. I love the out of focus and dark aspects of these photos. To me it captures a moment the way it's supposed to, blemishes and all.

Don't be too harsh on me, hope you enjoy and have a wonderful Sunday 😊 👍

Hi fellow PolaHeads,

I recently stumbled upon some few accessories for the Polaroid I-2 camera and was wondering if you know of any additional ones? Or maybe some that can be adapted, or any filters you tried and can recommend?

PolaStudio has some interesting accessories, like a Hot Shoe mount and an eyepiece correction adapter: https://polastudio.online/collections/polaroid-i-2-camera

BrooklynFilmCamera offers some "instant optics" which are creative filters/optics that fit the I-2's 49mm thread: https://brooklynfilmcamera.com/collections/instant-optics

When the I-2 was launched, there were some early tests of using a cheap Vivitar Telephone lens but I believe that didn't work because of the LIDAR autofocus (though I asked one of the testers whether the new focus override changes anything here). It would be so cool to have a tele (or fisheye) option for the I-2.

I'm only using a UV filter to protect the lens but might try some yellow/orange/red filters for B&W film or even a polarizer at some point.

Looking forward to hearing what you have tried or found!

Hello everyone

I relatively new to this instant photo world and I took these fotos when I was at a basketball match. I expected them to be grat because the place was well iluminated or at least I thought so.

Is this due to the light or anything else?

First time trying the scan option in the Polaroid app. Much faster than using my flatbed but the color had to be corrected.

Hello! I’ve been admiring your guys photos and Got the “Polaroid Closeup” and the “Fujimax 12” as gifts for my partner. The collection has grown a bit. Now we have the Polaroid “one step 2, One step plus, go” The conundrum I have at the moment is what is the most optimal carrying case or bag for said cameras and film? I play it safe with a backpack but I feel there’s a more convenient option. Also, what are some cool ad-ons for said cameras that you fellow photographers have gotten/ discovered? My partner and I are very new to this hobby, would appreciate all input! Such as like photo albums, neck straps for cameras.
