new polaroid cameras

Oooo look at this. Now that Polaroid is back, they’re releasing some fancy new cameras, called the PIC 1000 ($100 or less). The wood one… I wants it.

I came across emilie79* on flickr, and since I’ve been thinking of polaroid lately, I wanted to post some of her amazing images. Check out her photostream for much, much more of her amazing polaroid work.

Discovered this just in time for Christmas, and I’ll add it to my huge list of camera gear that I am pining over, these Diana F+ SLR Adaptors make it so you can shoot attach super cool Diana lenses to your digital camera.

I do miss shooting film, but I’m generally too lazy to do it. This lets me still get some of the cool Diana effects from a digital! It’s just another fun gadget to add to your photo bag so you can have more options when shooting. Add it to your list!

polaroid :(

I love polaroids. Who doesn’t? I was shocked and sad when last year it was announced that the instant film would no longer be produced. I ran out to the store and bought a lot of boxes. I now only have one box left and I’m saving it for a little while. I’m going to have to use it on something special.

There are a lot of people that feel the same. Check out savepolaroid.com where people are looking for ways to bring polaroid back, and polaroid.net which is trying to amass the biggest collection of polaroid photos on the internet. A friend of mine is even involved in something called The Impossible Project, where they’ve purchased an old polaroid factory and plan to reproduce a film that has the same look as polaroid, under a different name of course.

If you didn’t manage to grab any film before it was gone, you can still simulate the look of polaroids at rollip.com, it’s probably the best resource I’ve found online for creating digital polaroids.

I do use and love digital photography, don’t get me wrong, but I’m kinda mad at it for killing instant film. There’s something about polaroids specifically that you can’t help but miss.

Here’s a few random photos from polaroid.net. Go there and check out the thousands of photos that people have submitted. Remember why you loved polaroid.
