Unhinged

West Virginia

Polaroid Big Shot. Fujifilm FP3000B.

I became determined to get a good exposure from the Big Shot that was not a person and not use the flash. The camera is designed to use a flash always with an aperture of f29, fixed focal length of 220 mm and a shutter speed of around 1/60.

So I popped in some asa 3000 film. This was taken with L/D wheel one notch to D which I believe gives you about a 1/2 a stop. It was taken early morning with cloudy skies so not a lot of light.

I'm not sure why I insist on not just using this camera for what it was designed for which is portrait shots. Maybe because it's fun. :)

However, I have to say the portrait shots are awesome and I will probably stick to them now.
