I’ve been getting back into shooting more instant film, especially with my Polaroid Spectra AF camera. Cannot tell you all how in love I am with the original Spectra film, which is no longer readily available, unless you want to pay with an arm and a leg for what’s available on eBay.
Recently, I shot my last couple of frames with the expired Spectra film. Wow. The tones are to die for. I love the dreamy quality of the expired film.
For the next post, I will share photos from my first few shots with the Impossible Project’s version of Spectra Film, the PZ 680 Color Shade. It’s quite lovely too, but finicky while developing.
Beautiful stuff, Cindy! I’m dying to jump on the Pola train but the price of it is a little scary! I’ve been thinking… Since you don’t have to pay for processing, do you feel the cost of shooting instant vs ‘regular’ film evens out a bit in that regard?
The price is a little steep, just shoot one pack at a time, but do it mindfully. Just saw a One Step SX_70 on Etsy the other day for a song….$30.
gorgeous shots. I’ll be interested to see the differences.
I love the jars and bottles you use for vases.
Love it. It really looks like a painting.
Sadly, I sold my One Step Pola camera a few weeks ago on eBay. The film price was a bit too steep for me.
