Yeah upon watching this vid at an ungodly hour last night/this morning I realized that kinda came out weirdly but I just decided not to re-record it lol

Those portraits you took after metering/adjusting exposure are Killer!

Because that’s what it means to be a photographer. You know how to meter light. Has nobody ever had a photography class???

It's a shame that the best way to use the new instant film is the least instant way possible 😂

Nice & Thanks :)

Damn I have never metered with my Polaroid, but after this I think I have to at least try. The shots after metering were so good!

The portraits at 4:20 (tehehe) have that timeless, classy look to it which I love. My old B&W Polaroids have also got that sepia look to them after less than 2 years so hopefully the new chemistry lasts much longer

I will do some digging!! Thanks for the recommendation

You know what would be great? If Polaroid came out with a firmware update for the Now+ to fix the exposure issues.

I know right, as far as I'm aware you can't firmware upgrade it though (would be so simple with the app too!!)

What kind of light meter do you use

I think people really want Polaroid to work like they used to- but they just don’t. Their new cameras all have issues. Their film has issues. They’re just too costly shoot and to have a photo simply not work as intended adds insult to injury. My Polaroid camera just sits rotting away because the disappointment in their results keeps me from buying more film. The chemistry should spread evenly. Not spreading evenly shouldn’t even happen. The product shouldn’t have launched with this issue. Feeding two frames through simultaneously and then getting jammed shouldnt happen. It didn’t back in the day and they included more photos per cartridge! If I hear clean the rollers to make it work one more time…. I’ve never had any dirt come off the rollers when I cleaned them. The rollers are not the issue. It’s the new thickness of the chemistry pouch. The film never seems to be able to get enough light. The colours are always muted. They call it an esthetic but really it’s just not a daylight balanced film. If they could produce what they actually claim you get from their cameras, I’d try again. I’m just waiting for them to improve at this point.

Agreed, I bought some Polaroid packs to do a test before going on a project that I wanted to sell the results as series. I'm glad I didn't do it. A few months after I took the photos they just faded and disappeared. Polaroid is just a gimmick that costs a lot.

They won't. When was the last update to the color film? Like 10-12 years ago?

So, time to buy a standalone light meter only for Polaroid?

Where do you buy the super bock beers ?

I'm asking because it is a Portuguese beer and the N°1 beer in Portugal I don't even know they sell it in US. (I live in Portugal by the way). I really like the way you make your videos :) regards from a Portuguse photographer and a big fan of your channel :)

It hurts to see that NOW+ haha but fun idea with the red filter. I didn’t even think of that. Going to need to give that a try!

Somehow, I wonder if it's not just all their cameras that are broken 😁 I know that Eve&Steve do get good results out of the stuff, but they get all their cameras fixed beforehand by The Instantcameraguy in Australia.

Yeah idk, this is my second Now+ (I'll tell the story in my review) and it's basically the same issue. So many people have the same user experience (despite Polaroid simps telling me it's a skill issue lol)

yeah.. glad i sold my polaroid camera's.

Two windmills not far from the Hollandia Nurseries. The "Happy Landings Protected Open Space" on route 25 in Brookfield. Still not loving the new Polaroid film. Uneven exposure and developing. They should bring back the Polaroid pack film!

will look into Happy Landings, thanks for mentioning it. And yeah, it's still not perfect. I definitely don't expect it to be perfect anytime soon either unfortunately, that's kinda why I'm still not back on the train. I'll be back after they put out new and improved color film

So still overpriced crap

Why so many people interested in Polaroid but not LIGHT METERS?!?! So perplexed. I mean, I guess young people are too lazy to get involved in the process?? They just want to point-and-shoot? I’m a PHOTOGRAPHER, I don’t “snap a photo”, I take my time to “craft an image”. It’s messy, it takes time and it doesn’t always LOOK COOL. Guess that’s why all I have are stacks of printed work instead of a KZread channel!

Bro it's a polaroid. A polaroid that is meant to have its own light meter with which it is meant to adjust the exposure automatically. Using a light meter with a regular non instant manual camera is fine and all but damn it just does not make sense with what a polaroid should be. Also your comment reads like a copypasta.

Quit blaming young people for everything my God. It's exhausting. I'm 24 I use a light meter and an Sx-70 that I repaired myself.
