I really love my Fujifilm Instax 600 AF, next to my DSLR it's my favourite camera. I have had Polaroids in the past but they just don't compare. I'm looking forward to testing the sister-camera I found at the car boot a couple of weeks ago, I'm undecided on selling, but there's no way I'll be getting rid of the 600 AF as it was a gift from my mum, even if it was a freeb. I've noticed Urban Outfitters are now selling Fujifilm cameras and film, naturally for cray-cray prices but it's given me something to think about as my money situation isn't a good one for saving up for a new digital camera (#pauper).
As well as some instant photos, I'm also sharing some 35mm photographs - all of these photos were taken in Turkey - taken on what used to be an underwater camera I picked up in Hong Kong last year. I say 'used to be' because the casing decided to pack itself in, I still used it in the water a little as I wasn't so fussed if it got damaged. I think it's totally had it's day and I've since chucked it as it wasn't very nice under it's casing anyway, and there was a bit of hassle rewinding this roll resulting in losing a few photos.
Thanks to this morning's browse on the Urban Oufitters website, and being slightly inspired by the potential behind these 35mm photographs, I find myself lusting after a La Sardina. I've seen a few example images on my favourite photography blogs, and I love the double-exposure effect. I've used Dianas before but never really got the hang of them, the La Sardinas seem really simple to use though and they come in such pretty designs. My favourite is the Marathon one although it's really hard to choose. I might be popping one of these on to my birthday wish-list.
The Pool.
These first few photos were taken with a special-edition packet of Hello Kitty film I picked up. In hindsight, it was a silly, novelty purchase, and for some reason she's missing eyes in the scans. My inner-child is still ridiculously pleased though.

Little sad that this has a little light-leak, but it's probably my favourite too.

i just wrote a really long comment and it got deleted :o(
ReplyDeleteso here goes again! I love your instax! I have a sardinia beluga, my boyfriend bought me the metal one because he thought it would stop me breaking it like i do with all my plastic lomos. This was actually the quickest to break, i snapped the flash. It is all fixed now tho, the only problem is that it is a bit of a pain to set up for a shot and it doesnt have a strap so you cant take any QUICK NOW shots and you have to really want to take the photo to get it out and set it up. I think i still long for my (broken) diana mini, it's brilliant having two formats on one 35mm film and it's easy to use...
HOWEVER the focus on the sardinia is lovely, although i'm not really use to it yet, so you have inspired me to go and take some more photos on it :)
PS underwater photos are the best x
Does it need a lot of setting up? I thought it would be like a regular point-and-shoot 35mm? I'm still umming and ahhing, like I always do and a couple of other comments have made me think it would be wise to either wait until they come down in price, or get someone to buy one for me. I have a friend who has offered to let me borrow hers to see if I like it, I think that will help. I'd love to see your La Sardina photos some time :) xxx
DeleteIt is a point and shot-ish (there are easier ones) you have to pull out the lens and lock it in place and then focus it, and obviously if you are using flash remember to turn it on, and you've got to remember to take your lens cap off too. Haha. I suck at photography but totally love lomo. I have a lomo home on lomography.com, I haven't put any of my sardinia photos up yet but will soon. You should join as you can earn "Piggy Points" by writing articles, through random giveways and competitions and then you can use those points as money on the lomo website. I'm currently doing the lomo marathon, which means by the end of the week I should have about 25 "piggy Points" which is basically like having £25 free. It's pretty good if you are into lomo, and like flickr and blogging joined together. I feel like I ramble too much sorry.
DeleteDefinitely try your friends if you have been offered to have a go, you are a pro with the DSLR so i'm sure it's nothing you can't handle :o)
happy snapping
just discovered your blog and I love it!
