    I am super obsessed with Polaroids. I don't really have the money to just buy a bunch of them, however, they are just so cool being able to take a photo and have it in your hand is something that just cannot be replicated. I have a polaroid from the 80s and it might my the coolest thing I have. I also just bought the Lego set.

      I also really love the aspect of you have it in your hands right after you take the photo. Honestly, the tangibility is unmatched. Lol I also got that set, happy building dood. 👋

      I've heard people say they've found some really cheap stuff in thrift/charity shops, have you come across anything like that?

      Thanks, night photography is my favorite genre when it comes to taking pictures. I was happy to try it using a new medium of photography. It was really fun. 😁😁😁

    great video. I had the same overwhelming obsession with polaroid when i first started shooting it when the pandemic hit and labs closed. Id never considered polaroid before the pandemic and ive been obsessed ever since. I really dig that you're appreciating it exactly how it is supposed to, it can be used professionally but also just to capture special moments in life and hold a tangible piece of that memory. I havent shot polaroid for about a year because I got so hung up on using it for professional shoots but this summers (australian summer) ill be setting more of a goal to get back to the basics and just capture moments and fill albums with polaroids

      Me neither until a friend of mine picked one up and I was really intrigued. Once I got my first one I just went crazy. Like I have a box full of them and currently working on a large corkboard of polaroid. And heck yeah man go for it.

      That's cool I always wanted that model to try it out. I think it looks sleek and overall cool.

    I just got obsessed with Polaroids too and I feel the same you feel. Feels different to take photos with it and it’s a better feeling than the phone camera or digital camera (also, girls love it haha). Nice vid!

    Great video! I just got a strong desire for a Polaroid camera in the last couple days. I've never owned one, but I remember loving the pictures when I was growing up. I still think it's my favorite way to view photos.

    • @salem_vlogs

    Have you tried using a poleroid onestep close up? I own one and it’s decent, but it obviously gives a chill 80’s vibe when you look at the photo

    • @salem_vlogs
      @salem_vlogs  Рік тому +1

      I actually picked one up recently from a goodwill. Me and my friend were looking for a polaroid. And we luckily found 2 of the same one. It's just that the one I got the flash doesn't work so ima send it to get repaired. I do love its aesthetics. It's definitely the lens that it comes with. It give it that 80s vibe that been popular in recent years.

    What do you think about the Polaroid One Step Close Up? I’m thinking of getting one but I can’t see a lot of review videos about it 😅

    • @salem_vlogs
      @salem_vlogs  2 місяці тому

      They are very nice. The exposure is pretty good and I like opening and closing the clamshell. The one thing i have to get used to is to make sure the focus is on point. And for some reason Goodwill has an abundance of them in stock or something. I think you should get one.

    That's awesome man! I've always thought about it. Guess they started making the film again. I have the old first polaroid camera as well.

      Lol, same. I just like shooting with it. It's fun. I had used it the last time my friends and I hung out. One of my friends never even seen this camera. He was so surprised, and it felt amazing to just tell him about it.

    Thank you for this video!! I'm looking for my christmas present and I can't decide between Polaroid or Instax Wide 300... do you have comments about it??

    • @salem_vlogs
      @salem_vlogs  Рік тому

      I have never used an instax wide before but the wide format looks really nice, that would be the reason I would get one (but tha'ts my opinion). Its up to you, I know that instax' film is cheaper in the long run.

  • @aaronblair9583

    The formats before this integral film. Like you 95 b. Came out of the camera wet. That's where the shaking thing came from, you were drying the peel apart print

    • @salem_vlogs
      @salem_vlogs  11 місяців тому

      Ahh interesting. I do want to try to shoot with the model 95b but I'm a little hesitant as the film is all expired. Idk I'll see one day.

    Polaroid went out of the instant film business when digicams appeared, which could do more. As a point and shoot camera, there was nothing else quite like it back in the day. 😊

    • @salem_vlogs
      @salem_vlogs  Рік тому

      That's for sure. I'm still glad that they provide film for some of the more vintage cameras.

  • @JonathonNegrete

    good video. When you talk to the camera 1 on 1 you should do it outside where the environment looks nice.

    • @salem_vlogs
      @salem_vlogs  Рік тому

      Noted! Ill definitely keep that in mind for some of the future videos.

    Just understand that the Polaroid you buy now is not the same as the original Polaroid company that went bankrupt in 2008. A guy bout the equipment and built the chemistry back from scratch. That company was called the impossible project. In 2017, a rich dude asked his dad to buy the impossible project and were able to purchase back the Polaroid name. It's a totally different company. The impossible project wanted to replicate the original film and make the best quality photos. The new owners are obsessed with the "vintage" look, and aren't developing better film at all really...
