I’m completely new to instant film photography and I just got a Polaroid now + and I need help with the aperture I think? I too one normal picture (the more visible photo) and one double exposure shot (the other one) how can I fix the brightness issue I got going on and can it be done by fixing the settings in the app (ps for the double exposure shot I used 2 different lens filters and one with flash and the other without if that’s important)
I do not have a lot of experience or knowlegde about polaroids but I read that keeping them outside in the sun worsens the quality.
My girlfriend passed away 4 months ago and the (in my opinion) most wonderful photo of us together was shot on a polaroid. I would love to put this on the grave since there is not a gravestone yet, would this be possible without ruining the picture? It would mean the world to me!
Took this one today the sun was bright and directly to the right of the picture
hello all, i have just purchased these expired polaroids (all prod date 2017), these weren't stored properly but it was like $25cad for all three so i wanted to take a shot. from what ive read these might literally be dust now, BUT if u were to shoot these as if they were how would you shoot them?
i have a box 600 and an sx-70 (i also could put an nd filter on)
i was thinking maybe putting the exposure half-all the way to dark cause expired (from what i read) tend to overexpose. im also thinking of trying to use my sx-70 w/ nd.
what do u guys think?
Thank you to whoever suggested scanning at FedEx, as I do not have a scanner at home. Truly, it makes all the difference!
I haven't shot much since 2020..
I forgot what film was in my sx-70. Turns out, some Impossible B&W circa 2019 (or before whatever year it was Polaroid bought them out) that I put in my camera maybe a year ago.
Apparently expiredB&W becomes very warm.
Looking forward to buying some colour film this year. Apparently they've really figured it out since I last bought some.
Don't buy a home kids. It'll make the polaroid hobby unaffordable.
20 years ago I had a couple polaroid cameras that I got at a thrift stores. I don't know what kind they were but all of the photos I have from that time, are in focus and the colors are bright and clear. Last Christmas I got a Polaroid Now and my pictures are usually blurry and dark. Does anyone think the older cameras worked better then the newer versions? 🤔

Just found this in a box in our garage while my parents were cleaning it out and want to better understand it and how this specific Polaroid works with the LMS so I can’t take the best photos
Wondering what mightve caused the dark spot with red outlining in the bottom of the photo. Read it could be over exposure, but it wasnt very bright out.
i just bought a used polaroid 600 and it won’t eject film, had no issue ejecting the cover for film but won’t eject the film itself. i’m not sure if this is an easy fix, just looking for some help
