Light Sensitive!

They weren't kidding about this film being light sensitive! After taking the shot you should cover up the polaroid immediately shielding it away from light. Even safer is to hold a box where the polaroid ejects out of the camera, so the shot will just eject right into the box with no chance of seeing the light.

Checkout the difference in this shot:


The top part of the polaroid is darker because it was left shielded inside the camera when it ejected. Maybe 3 seconds the bottom part was exposed to light before i covered it up with a dark slide.

Shooting Silver Shade

Here are a few of my first shots using PX100:




Temperature and light are major factors in how the film will look once its developed. Too hot and you're gonna get super dark contrasty photos, shoot in the cold and your polaroids come out more white. These were all shot outside when it was pretty hot, like around 29 degrees and they all came out darker then i would have liked :(

Overall i am really enjoying this new film, the results are unpredictable but that just makes every shot a lil more special.
