Sean Keane yeah I agree it's annoying when I hear people call Fuji films Polaroids but I have nothing against fujifilm. in fact Polaroid has a cAmera just like fujifilm
Just wanted to let you know, or anyone know, that this video was extremely helpful! I recently bought a polaroid and my first set of film did not turn out that great, but with the help from this video I gained quite a bit of knowledge on what to do and what not to do. Thank you for posting this handy video for us polaroid beginners!!
Yard sales and flea markets are a must if you're getting into Polaroid shooting. I got a sun 600 for $4 and a Polaroid one step for $5. would never spend more than $10-$15 on a Polaroid.
Ch33seyPenguin it honestly depends though, because any SX-70 cameras are at the absolute very least between 60-70 dollars and that's pushing it to the absolute lowest because SX-70 cameras aren't regular Polaroid one step cameras or anything basically mainstream now a days so you pretty much need to expect expense when it comes to those. I got mine for 140, and it works beautifully!
I hate that gaga's collaboration with Polaroid didn't take off. I'm surprised the actual company hasn't been able to semi come back alive with the hipsterish movement involved.
just because I'm a photography nerd and i want to spread some knowledge. the darkness and lightness adjustment you were talking about is what is called exposure. as in light exposure. its the amount of light that is allowed into the lens. totally loved looking at all these poloaroids. i have a 600 as my first camera ever back in the late 90s and this is making me so nostalgic. thanks for sharing.
Last year this was the first video I ever watched on instant cameras EVER (I'm 15), and since then I've watched so many other videos and collected a lot of cameras just like you. You were the first one to get me interested in this stuff and I think it's sooooo cool. Thank you so much :)
I love your vibe man! I recently got my second Polaroid and I'm still learning how to take pictures this was like the most entertaining yet informative video to watch.
I love all your pictures!!!!!!!!!!!! They're well composed and I love the washed out colors, the light flashes, and when there are two pictures in one!
You're amazing,, these vintage cameras are what taking a picture / photo in life is all about .. instant..well with my old Polaroid 600 about 10 minutes! to develop !,, anyway it's so so so much fun ...hope you're still taking pictures
Love this video! It is also super important to say that the SX-70 films used to be 100 ASA, but now they are 160 ASA, so you have to darken the picture a little even in regular lighting to correct that. :-))
I got a polaroid sun 600 in a thrift store for £1 fully working and I sold it on ebay for like £40! The pictures were cool but the film was way too expensive. 35mm photos are my bag, and that's already expensive enough with processing films and buying the films in the first place, but polaroid film is just hell no expensive
Awesome video! I started doing photography almost 20 years ago & it was on a Polaroid 600. Of all of the Polaroid Videos I have seen - this is by far my favorite! Thank you for that!
Polaroid Sonar cameras use, as the name implies, sonar (sound wave), focusing. They bounce an ultra sonic sound wave off of the subject and measure the time it takes for the sound wave to return to the camera to determine the distance from the lens. If you try and take a picture through a car window for example, the sound wave will bounce off of the glass and the camera thinks the subject is only a few inches away, not off in the distance where your eye is focused.
hey thanks for the video! for future reference the brightness darkness wheel actually controls the exposure/shutter speed. so the longer the exposure, the brighter the image will be. but more likely it will be blurry because the shutter is open longer. so just be sure the be holding it really steady. the shorter the exposure the darker the image. obviously use when it's bright out which you already know. also since the shutter is open for a shorter amount of time, the sharper the image will be as well. it's also a lot better if whatever you're photographing is in motion!
thanks for your video, I still have my mom old Polaroid camera from 1981... I was 6 then.. I bought the Impossible film last year.. and wasn't use to it as with the original Polaroid film from the days... you taught me how to use this new film... I love photography I still shoot 35mm and super 8mm movie film... I like digital, but something about film is so much better, I guess its the excitement of waiting to see what you took.
Thank you so much for this video! I found two Polaroids at a local Habitat store and got both for $22. I didn't know how to use them at all, but you showed me the light! I was able to get a pack of Impossible film while in NYC and put the pack in both cameras (I took one pic with one, went into my pitch black closet, put the black cardboard cover inside the pack and then put it all back into the next camera). I also keep the box and cartridge as you said to develop and test to see if cameras work when I see them. It's so. Much. FUN! I hope to acquire an SX-70 soon! Thank you again!
JFYI.. The black card thingy that protects the Polaroid film is called a dark slide. You do not need to bring both the SX-70 or 600 empty battery film pack with you to test if the camera works when you're out shopping. either one will fit any of the SX-70 or 600 cameras.
Thanks so much for this! I got my sx-70 land camera on ebay too, for $40!! Came with the case too! Crazy right?! I'm just so happy it works. Your video was what had me sold on getting a Polaroid camera (I have a white & raindbow sx-70 one step too). It's one of the best things I've bought in a long time, even if the film is expensive. :)
Have you tried stirring into the emulsion as it develops? We used to take polaroids and as soon as we could see the slightest ghost of an image, we would use a pen cap to draw designs in the background around the main subject. Sometimes the colors smear like tie dye...sometimes you just get cool Van Gogh kinda texture or just black line patterns. it's fun!
I just inherited the SX-70 Land Camera from my gramps and I was curious to learn more about it and Polaroid camera's in general! I didn't know how to open up the camera but thanks to your video I now do know! So thank you! :D
You are awesome, my dear! I had a Polaroid habit a couple of years ago and I wish I saw this video because I spent a small fortune on 600 film and was so dissapointed in my results I just thought I sucked! I would go on Polaroid sites and see all these beautiful ephemeral misty images and feel so down. I think out of about 100 photos I'd have one I liked. Watching this video I was doing the exactly what you were doing in your early days.... makes me feel better! So thanks!
I love this vid. You need to start a TV show! Entertaing script and editing. btw I liked how you arranged the order of the cameras. Start swinging by having SX and then you'll make a sun who will want to become cool.
Schwerelos It absolutely doesn't always look nice. You have to practice. It takes skill to make them look really nice. Learning how to take interesting photos does make you more creative, but not everyone who takes photos is creative.
I didn't prove your point, because that wasn't your point. You said that the photos always turn out well, and you were trying to say that it doesn't make you any more creative, and I disagreed.
I am going to buy an instax camera next month, because it's very convenient and the photos look cool. Most people will think it's creative and retro and stuff while it's not.
Thanks for sharing. I was dying laughing at times but really enjoyed it. I recently starting learning all these things and you summed it all up best :)
If you get an older Polaroid that uses pack (peel apart) film you can get Fuji instant film that is about a dollar a shot and works properly. Of you don't want to peel apart, Fuji Instax, again about a dollar a shot and just ejects out the top of the Instax camera. Impossible film just doesn't work very well.
Thank you for being brave and posting!! lol When i picked it up a few years back i looked for a video like this with ANY information, but i didnt find much. AND LIKE YOU I DIDNT REALIZE MY FIRST PACKET WOULD BE A TEST!! and thats a lot of money :\. So what i do now, if you are wanting a polaroid, wait tilll Thanksgiving sale on the website and they have "old" film on sale! THAT IS PERFECT TO TEST ON! That way you get the hang of it until you are ready to invest on a good packet! :) when you buy film in a camera store, make sure to take your school ID, most give discounts!!
I am honestly so in love with your personality omg girl alright so I have a question, I noticed you leave your cameras "opened" on your thing and that's what I wanted to do (y'know, display it in my room), but I was worried it would damage the camera, being opened for, like, ever?
Stephanie Lorraine No, it wont damage your cameras as long as you dont have a film pack inside it. If you have the film pack in the camera and let it be open it will drain the battery.
thank you so much for understanding my need to take the photos noww. ups obviously doesn't because my camera hasn't been delivered yet. great video. xx
On the one that doesn't work right, try bending the battery contacts up slightly. You can use anythung long, a butter knife or swrew driver works. Build quality on that model isn't very good.
So once you inserted a new pack and take a few shots, can you just close the camera and store it away for a few days, or do you have to take all 8 at once?
I would suggest a Frog Tongue for your SX-70 and 600 series cameras for using TIP color film. Their B&W (version 2) film doesn't need to be shielded from the light like the color film does.
omg you are a saint this is so helpful my parents still have some 80s Pol. camreas but i never knew how to use them i was always scared id break them haha!
Hello, I have a friend who is interested in polaroid cameras and she has a few questions, unfortunately she can't seem to post it here. "She knows that you keep polorids in a box, but when you take them out, do you automatically shield them so the exposure can be proper? How do you keep the pictures separate when they are developing? Can you lay them on each other and no issues happen?" Hope to hear from you :)
I have not read the comments, so excuse me if this was already discussed, but you might want to check out the Lomo instant wide camera. It's great for exploring your creative side. Good video btw :)
The one-step closeup didn't come out in 1983, it came out in 1997. Also, the "black thingy" is called a darkslide. Contact me if you want more info about polaroids
Hey, great video, was helpful seeing how the pictures could turn out. I have a Polaroid impulse and didn't use the film for like 2 years after I loaded it, lol, wanted to use it for special occasions and what not(+like not much $ on hand at the time)... Didn't do too well after so long. ANYWAY, incase you're still into Polaroid shooting, and if you don't already have one, I would recommend getting a Polaroid 420, really cool camera, AND FUJI FILM STILL SELLS FILM FOR IT(FP-100c & FP-3000b). Major plus is the cost too, like $11 for a 10 pack, not as sensitive to light, since peel-apart film, oh also slightly bigger picture area. You could also get the big flash dome with the old time-y bulbs, imagine you could have fun with that, lol.
Instax 210 is a good Polaroid camera(no not those stupid minis) , its a little older than some of the ones, you have it was my first Polaroid and the film is really cheap it 20$ for 20 shots so its a really good deal, if you wanna give it a try i would love to see your reveiw on it. I just got a ONESTEP and i seeing the film is a lot more expensive but its all in the name of ART lol loved your vid keep it up!
What is the difference between the sun600, one step and the cool cam? Been watching Polaroid videos all day for two or three days straight and getting my first Polaroid one step. Kinda obsessed, my aunt used Polaroid cameras when I was younger and I thought it was the coolest thing ever.Never have I ever seen a printer camera before. And I'm just now coming to realization that I can actually own one. So funny I know. 😍😊😅😘☺😅😅😅😅
beautiful work. u can improve if master the built-in flash. try retake pictures wih sun in the background...turn flash on, and "darken" (exposure) all the way down. u should be able to create intersting shots. :)
I just got a Sun600 for $2.92 on Goodwill. The lens look very clean but I still need to buy some films to test if it's working. Thanks for this awesome video.
Mine broke before I even got the hang of it. :( I shoot with a DSLR mainly so I don't know much about film cameras, but you might look into getting a Lomography Fisheye camera. They're really neat! I love mine.
I'm glad I found someone who actually owns a Polaroid and not a fujimax
Andrew Garcia what's wrong with fuji?
Andrew Garcia i know right
Sean Keane yeah I agree it's annoying when I hear people call Fuji films Polaroids but I have nothing against fujifilm. in fact Polaroid has a cAmera just like fujifilm
I have heard from many people the instax better people BUT it look more cold.
Andrew Garcia exactly what you say !!
Just wanted to let you know, or anyone know, that this video was extremely helpful! I recently bought a polaroid and my first set of film did not turn out that great, but with the help from this video I gained quite a bit of knowledge on what to do and what not to do. Thank you for posting this handy video for us polaroid beginners!!
so glad it could help you out :D
Because of this video......I can already see myself becoming addicted to Polaroids.... THANKS LIZ.
ElleLovesMac you're welcome?? :'D haha!
Welcome to the club!
me too x
Omg is that you Max Caufield?
haha omg that's exactly I thought when I saw her
can you someday update the polaroid hobby thing like with a new video?? it just it was really fun and interesting ; )
" I did not hesitate on that shit " 😂😂 made my day
Yard sales and flea markets are a must if you're getting into Polaroid shooting. I got a sun 600 for $4 and a Polaroid one step for $5. would never spend more than $10-$15 on a Polaroid.
i agree. i got one for 5 dollars. 40$ and over is way to expensive! its already enough paying for the film!!!
Ch33seyPenguin it honestly depends though, because any SX-70 cameras are at the absolute very least between 60-70 dollars and that's pushing it to the absolute lowest because SX-70 cameras aren't regular Polaroid one step cameras or anything basically mainstream now a days so you pretty much need to expect expense when it comes to those. I got mine for 140, and it works beautifully!
Who wanted a Polaroid after playing life is strange
me. lol
Michael silva NO EMOJIS!!!
Meeeeee I love that game
Count me in 😂

I hate that gaga's collaboration with Polaroid didn't take off. I'm surprised the actual company hasn't been able to semi come back alive with the hipsterish movement involved.
without the factories and machines to develop the film, its difficult. Impossible Project is trying to recreate it even using their own machines.
I love the feel of a lot of those photos, Liz. Gives it a real time, raw vibe. I wouldn't consider those a fail at all. Congrats, really.
thank ya! :D
The "picture button" is called a shutter and the "brightness and darkening knob" is called the exposure compensation knob.
Informative, humorous, and entertaining'
you know, these pics are great, its like travelling back in time
just because I'm a photography nerd and i want to spread some knowledge. the darkness and lightness adjustment you were talking about is what is called exposure. as in light exposure. its the amount of light that is allowed into the lens. totally loved looking at all these poloaroids. i have a 600 as my first camera ever back in the late 90s and this is making me so nostalgic. thanks for sharing.
The SX-70! SOOO COOL!
It's gorgeous!
I absolutely love your style! This video is so awesome! :)
Thank you! :)
It made me happy to see you found a new thing you love doing! :} This was a nice video!
That cat picture in the garden is awesome!
thanks! :D

aw this makes me so happy!! =)
Thank you so much for making this! I just found a Polaroid 600 Round from the thrift store, it was really cool seeing older models.
I love your vibe man! I recently got my second Polaroid and I'm still learning how to take pictures this was like the most entertaining yet informative video to watch.

I love all of your pics even the ones that are messed up its a great nostalgic thing to bring to the future
"Correct me but don't fucking bully me.. Cause I will bully you back" hahaha I died 😂

This was the most entertaining of all of the SX-70 videos on UA-cam.
Yes polaroid film is pricey but its a miracle some innovative people got it going again! Hope youre still lovin your cameras...
thanks for your video, I still have my mom old Polaroid camera from 1981... I was 6 then.. I bought the Impossible film last year.. and wasn't use to it as with the original Polaroid film from the days... you taught me how to use this new film...

POLAROID UPDATE PLZZZZ!!!!!
bidded the polaroid 660 autofocus for $3.20 , $7.97 shipping and after watching this i just can't wait for it to arrive, already loving it!!!!!
Thank you so much for this video! I found two Polaroids at a local Habitat store and got both for $22. I didn't know how to use them at all, but you showed me the light!

Thanks! I have been a Polaroid buff for many years and have a large collection. I love your humor :)
Nice job. Just found some old polaroids at the flea market and have been having fun. Thanks for the tips.
15:46 Now that is awesome, how the blinds and TV got permanently stained on there. Art!
I have to admit. love your sense of humor. Great vid
JFYI.. The black card thingy that protects the Polaroid film is called a dark slide. You do not need to bring both the SX-70 or 600 empty battery film pack with you to test if the camera works when you're out shopping. either one will fit any of the SX-70 or 600 cameras.

I love your style :D you look really artsy.

Thank you!!! Ive been looking for a cheep place to get a SX-70 and this video helped me find it. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
Is there any plans for an update video? With the release of the Onestep 2
Thanks. You look like *Max Caulfield* :P
+María Obezyanka Nol ب_ب Yesss! I'd like to take instant pictures but at a cost of 3$ each I'd be ruined :'(
+María Obezyanka Nol ب_ب YES I LITERALLY THOUGHT OF THAT WHEN I SAW THE THUMBNAIL
+alex0611franco whoa your ahead of me! I'm going shopping today to find a few. I really want one that works.
OMG yes! btw Obezyanka nol its my favorite tatu song
Have you tried stirring into the emulsion as it develops? We used to take polaroids and as soon as we could see the slightest ghost of an image, we would use a pen cap to draw designs in the background around the main subject. Sometimes the colors smear like tie dye...sometimes you just get cool Van Gogh kinda texture or just black line patterns. it's fun!
I've never tried that! Sounds really cool! I must try it one of these days ^_^
It's called SX-70 manipulation search for it on youtube
Loved the vid LIZ. Nice to here u talk about something your passionate about
why is there Dora on my screen
Daniel Jung lmfao
I just inherited the SX-70 Land Camera from my gramps and I was curious to learn more about it and Polaroid camera's in general! I didn't know how to open up the camera but thanks to your video I now do know! So thank you! :D
woop woop! ^_^
Your pictures are amazing! Love your style.
You are awesome, my dear! I had a Polaroid habit a couple of years ago and I wish I saw this video because I spent a small fortune on 600 film and was so dissapointed in my results I just thought I sucked! I would go on Polaroid sites and see all these beautiful ephemeral misty images and feel so down. I think out of about 100 photos I'd have one I liked. Watching this video I was doing the exactly what you were doing in your early days.... makes me feel better! So thanks!
Got mine from urban outfitters was expensive however i felt it was more likely to work . And it works brilliantly !
Some of the "failed" B&W shot you made are pretty artsy tho, I liked them ^^
If wasn't already a Polaroid photographer, this would've made me one!! Great video! Do another Polaroid one!
I love this vid. You need to start a TV show! Entertaing script and editing. btw I liked how you arranged the order of the cameras. Start swinging by having SX and then you'll make a sun who will want to become cool.
Taking pictures with a polaroid doesn't make you more creative, but the result always looks like.
Schwerelos It absolutely doesn't always look nice. You have to practice. It takes skill to make them look really nice. Learning how to take interesting photos does make you more creative, but not everyone who takes photos is creative.
I think you proof my point.. people think it's special when it's not, there are good pola photographers and bad ones, like alwayas.
I didn't prove your point, because that wasn't your point. You said that the photos always turn out well, and you were trying to say that it doesn't make you any more creative, and I disagreed.
I am going to buy an instax camera next month, because it's very convenient and the photos look cool. Most people will think it's creative and retro and stuff while it's not.
Schwerelos I never said it did, but have fun with that.
i watched so many videos and was waiting for someone to explain the exposure button with the lightness/darkness!!!! thank you!!! yay
+Danielle Leger glad I could help :D
SHES SOS FUNNY LMAOOOO the fact that everyone in the comment section is butt hurt about everything you do is even funnier
Thanks for sharing. I was dying laughing at times but really enjoyed it. I recently starting learning all these things and you summed it all up best :)

Love it! Thanks for sharing. And your style is impeccable!
I've missed you and your videos!! You're the best
TheRainbowAlien Thank you for missing me ;D x
WAHEY, I've always wanted a Polaroid camera but never got one. I did photography at university but still, have never used one. They're awesome. :)
Love this video I watch this video all the time! Love the accent and humour you bring!!!
I love this video. I learned so much and you're so awesome haha. I just found my moms cool cam so i'm excited to start using it!
I am honestly so in love with your personality omg girl
alright so I have a question, I noticed you leave your cameras "opened" on your thing and that's what I wanted to do (y'know, display it in my room), but I was worried it would damage the camera, being opened for, like, ever?
Stephanie Lorraine No, it wont damage your cameras as long as you dont have a film pack inside it. If you have the film pack in the camera and let it be open it will drain the battery.
Badass collection!
11:43 Sadako is coming !!!
More seriously, this is the first video about polaroids that I watch that give actual tips about exposure :)
Thank you soo much for doing this video! I'm just getting into Polaroid and this video helped so much :)
thank you so much for understanding my need to take the photos noww. ups obviously doesn't because my camera hasn't been delivered yet. great video. xx
I always love your videos! :) keep it up
Kickzster Thank you for always supporting me, babe. :) xo
xelizabethmartinez hello which camera did u use for shoot this video)) nice soft effect? !!
love watching this video over and over
On the one that doesn't work right, try bending the battery contacts up slightly. You can use anythung long, a butter knife or swrew driver works. Build quality on that model isn't very good.
So once you inserted a new pack and take a few shots, can you just close the camera and store it away for a few days, or do you have to take all 8 at once?
No, u can close the camera and it "turns off" I guess u can say because the battery wouldn't die out quick. Probably last about a couple months
I am hoping that as long as you don't get camera too hot its o.k, fingers creossed cos you don't always want to take all 8 at once.
MyGunfreak The film will last up to 1,5 years.
You very well be able to remove that glue residue with lighter fluid. It won't damage you're camera. Good vid. Happy picture taking:)
I would suggest a Frog Tongue for your SX-70 and 600 series cameras for using TIP color film. Their B&W (version 2) film doesn't need to be shielded from the light like the color film does.

Showbiz Pizza Collector how can I take pictures of skylines at night with polaroid camras
If you like Polaroid you should invest in a Brownie Hawkeye and some 120 film. Its even more nostalgic, but not nearly as instant.
I've had a film camera for like 6 years, and I've never done anything with it. Just not into it.
Just nabbed a sx70 for £20 (28 dollars)! Gonna use it for my EP cover, can't wait.. Cheers for the video, helped a bunch!
Peace, from the UK☮
Thank you for this video! This helped me a lot with my final three choices. I got 2/3

Instax 210 is a good Polaroid camera(no not those stupid minis) , its a little older than some of the ones, you have it was my first Polaroid and the film is really cheap it 20$ for 20 shots so its a really good deal, if you wanna give it a try i would love to see your reveiw on it. I just got a ONESTEP and i seeing the film is a lot more expensive but its all in the name of ART lol loved your vid keep it up!
What is the difference between the sun600, one step and the cool cam? Been watching Polaroid videos all day for two or three days straight and getting my first Polaroid one step. Kinda obsessed, my aunt used Polaroid cameras when I was younger and I thought it was the coolest thing ever.Never have I ever seen a printer camera before. And I'm just now coming to realization that I can actually own one. So funny I know. 😍😊😅😘☺😅😅😅😅
‘I got it for 70’ MORE LIKE SX-70!!! pun intended
You can sign up for amazon prime, they sell the impossible film. With prime it's 2 day shipping.
Omg you live in Modesto I live in Merced lol. I just bought the sun 600 LMS. my first camera and I'm excited to get started!
beautiful work. u can improve if master the built-in flash. try retake pictures wih sun in the background...turn flash on, and "darken" (exposure) all the way down. u should be able to create intersting shots. :)
I just got a Sun600 for $2.92 on Goodwill. The lens look very clean but I still need to buy some films to test if it's working. Thanks for this awesome video.
Charlee e You can buy empty film packs from Impossible to test it! It's much cheaper than a full pack of film.
Mine broke before I even got the hang of it. :( I shoot with a DSLR mainly so I don't know much about film cameras, but you might look into getting a Lomography Fisheye camera. They're really neat! I love mine.
I actually have one! I've had it for like 6 years lol but I've never been able to get successful pics from it. I think I'm loading the film wrong :/
Omg I love her Kim Kardashian case 😂😂😂
