Polaroids on a Sunny Day!

Posted on the 06 April 2012 by Scarffaces @scarfffaces
A few weeks ago I took my polaroid up to the roof! It was VERY sunny and warm out. First, I used a regular pack of Impossible Project Color film, then I used Impossible Project expired Color film. The expired film ended up coming out better, but I had just taken it out of the fridge so that may be why. None of the photos really turned out well at all. I think this is because of how sunny it was, and it was around noon so the sun was really shining down. I used iphoto to edit the photos and the result is that you can see them a little more clearly.

There is better contrast and the image is sharper overall.Polaroids on a sunny day!Meowold in front of the empire state building. PX70 Color Shade expired film. This photo has a dreamy, fuzzy look and a lot of yellow tones.Polaroids on a sunny day!After editing in iphoto, the yellows are brighter and there is more sharpness. You still can't see the empire state building in the background though. 
So! Lesson learned. Don't take polaroid photos in the bright sunlight unless you want to get dream-like fuzzy effects.
