Picked up 'my first polaroid camera' for €2 at a vintageshop today. Does anyone know a seller on eBay or wherever who ships ultra-super-cheap polaroids to Europe? Despite my love for its fantastic instantness and blurs and vignetting et al, I just can't afford spending €17,99 on 10 stupid pictures

See I find really awesome Polaroid cameras, and I love playing with them but the film is sooooooo expensive :(

I have no idea why its dark unfortunately.

I don't know where you live, but I've seen a few sellers on eBay offering say 40 polaroids for $20. Sounds like a really good deal.

like i said before; i reminds me of wintertrees and fog as cold as ice.

beautiful!

Though you can't literally see those things, that's exactly what it looked like :) Lovely.

i'm not sure why it's that dark either, but i wouldn't worry - it's beautiful :) it most likely has to do with either the camera (being old) or the film (being expired) but if it's neither of those things, it may have just been a fluke. happy accident!

xo.f

Thanks. I like fortunate accidents :) It could be because of the camera, 'Polaroid Supercolor 635'. I expected it to be lighter like most polaroids I've seen, but those were probably taken with a SX-70.

Met welke camera heb je deze genomen?
En hoe waren de weersomstandigheden? Anders als het al wat duisterder was, kun je wat veranderen zodat de foto wat lichter wordt.

En op ebay zal je er niet veel vinden voor Europa, ik zoek al een jaartje ;)

Supercolor 635 ^.^ Het was vrij licht buiten, sneeuwwitte/grijze achtergrond.
