Margaret

Over the weekend, I got together with a few other photo enthusiast from work to play around with our cameras and take some photographs. We tried a few different types of shoots but ended up taking some portraits of one of the neighbors, a woman named Margaret, sitting in her car. These aren't the type of shots I would normally take but it was good to try something new and move outside of my comfort zone.

 

And here is a bonus behind the scenes shot.

Polaroid Instant 20 Land Camera Shots

As I wrote in this post, my uncle in Ireland sent me his old Polaroid Instant 20 Land Camera which he bought in 1977. Despite its old age, the camera is in great working order so I decided to take it out for a spin around San Jose this weekend.

I loaded up a pack of Polaroid Type 84 film which is a ISO 100 speed black and white square format film. This film expire in 2007 but most of the shots worked out OK. I did have to play with the exposure a bit since the camera doesn't have an ISO 100 setting instead it uses 75 ISO.
