I want to talk about my Polaroid camera but first let me show you a delish yogurt thing I found at the grocery store! I usually don't eat yogurt because I'm not really a dairy fan BUT.. omg these are soo good... the little bits you add to it.. just makes it more enjoyable.. I'm the type of person who likes all the crunchy foods I need everything to be crunchy if it's possible! And when I can add little crunchy bits to either on yogurt or my acai bowl... everything is alright in the world.
But seriously.. try this if you're a yogurt eater
So anyways... ok so the Camera.. I bought this One Step 600 Polaroid camera at a estate sale for only 2 dollars! And I was super excited because it's been a while since I had a Polaroid! We used to have one but we hardly used it because they weren't "trendy" anymore and it was hard to buy film... so I'm pretty sure dad tossed it or sold it...
so when I found this one I wondered were I can buy film! I KNOW someone somewhere sells it! And alas! Found a website where they sell film packs! I bought some to try it out! And man oh man... it's pricey! So it's around 18 dollars for 8 pictures!! So when I ordered it was 24 dollars because yah know... shipping and tax n stuff... yea.. I spent 24 bucks for 8 pics.
But I was excited nonetheless because I was going to try out this cool camera!
The camera was in amazing shape! either the person hardly used it or they took care of it very well!
so i popped in the "cartilage" the pack.. the pics.. whatever lol
and out goes the little blank paper and it works! i was so ecstatic!
thought! "ok carol you cant just take random photos! you only have 8 shots!"
so here you see 4 shots... ok so this is what happened, i decided to take a picture of my little vintage books because thought that would look cute! shot it and i let it develop.. i couldn't remember how long it took to develop.. so i set it aside.. then i went to my living room and took a picture of my dog sitting down... again i set it aside to develop... so around 10 minutes later i come back... and well look at those 2 first pictures...
the picture of my books,... you can't see it.. only a bit of light from my window.. now, my room was pretty lit (lol) and it shouldn't have been that dark!
and the second one was of my dog and shot it where the light hits the most in the house! and it's pitch black... no picture.
the third picture was actually the fourth picture you see in the pic, it was of my other dog.. he was by the window and before it took this i looked up only if there was other techniques how how to take a picture with a polaroid and i couldn't find what i was doing wrong.. but i did found that you can switch the little arrows for more or less exposure?.. so i switched it to the light and took a picture of my dog and this is what came out lol
So... it came out a bit blurry, i mean my dog did move because since the camera makes noise he did that head tilt lol but its not that bad... so now that i had that light switch i went back to take a picture of my books again and nope,,... same thing happened the first time.. SOOOO i just wasted 3 pictures lol and i did looked at the inside where you feed the battery and pics and everything is CLEAN like i said whoever owned this either never used it or really took good care of it
so im going to wait for my dad to take a look at it.. i swear he's a master at fixing electronic things and hopefully he can find the problem and i mean its a camera of his youth haha.
and here is an old picture i'd like to share.. we have so many polaroid pictures laying around.
i believe this was taken in '94? im the second little bean there.. with my sisters and cousins if this was taken in '94 then i was around 2 years old here lol
Children of the Corn anyone?.. lol
