party photos with Polaroid 350 Land Camera

[Godfrey]

It was a friend's birthday party yesterday. I brought along the Polaroid 350 Land Camera loaded with a pack of Fuji FP-100c film and recorded the event as best I could.

Click on photo above to see the gallery of ten photos.​

The old Polaroid became the center of attention for a subgroup of the partygoers ... It made a great batch of ten photos! Wish I'd had another film pack with me.

I captured the photos to digital using the Olympus E-M1 with copy stand, M-E 45/2.8 macro lens, and a lightbox arrangement. The problem is I made an error and left the ISO on Auto, so all the photos in the set are at ISO 3200-6400. And they're not bad quality at all! I'll re-capture them another time...

I never liked my results with this film. But I will have to give it another shot. Your pictures are great !

Thanks!

I find you have to be very picky about the light you use this combination of camera and film in. AND, for best results, let the print sandwiches sit for a full 2-4 minutes before peeling them apart.

On the 350, I have the lighten/darken control set to about two notches down from maximum brightness. That hits about the right exposure most of the time.
