My Instax adventures

Picture #275 with the Instax Mini 9. Relaxing at Long Reef, Sydney, April 2020. Colours in this were off… possibly overexposure, I’d need to find and check the print… so I applied some highlight recovery and colour correction in LR6. The result is a vintage look, which I like.

Picture #286 with the Instax Mini 9, April 2020. I had colour film in the camera but saw this in bw, so here are both for comparison. The flash on the Mini 9 can’t be turned off.

Picture #154 with the Instax Square SQ6, May 2020. Light and shadow on Dee Why beach, Sydney. Apologies for the Newtons Rings from contact between the print and scanner glass.

Picture #253 with the Instax Square SQ6, September 2020. Manly beach from Freshwater Point, Sydney. Freshwater rock pool in the foreground, Queenscliff headland in middle distance. I really like how Instax film renders luminosity.

Picture #273 with the Instax Square SQ6. Monochrome film. Sydney coast. The waves breaking on the rocks are too overexposed - I should have used the darken control (which I think reduces exposure by 2/3EV).

Picture #443 with the Instax Square SQ6, scanned April 2025. Probably around Nov ’24. BW conversion from colour in LR6.
