It is the first frame of the film and part of if was overexposed, so I cut it to the square.

First Polaroid

Phogulum — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 20:59:13 +0000

Polaroid, finally. I got the Polaroid with other cameras and I had no idea is it working or not. It was covered with dust and some paint drops and of course it wasn’t working without the film, because the batteries for this camera are in the film pack. So I was very pleasantly surprised when this photo came out of the camera. Yes, there are some dust spots on the picture and it is unevenly exposured or developed but still – it works

Best Shot of the Film

Phogulum — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 16:12:44 +0000

Yes, this is the best shot of the film. Sad, but true. I was prepared for light leaks and as you can see, there are light leaks but the massive shutter malfunction was a surprise. For some reason I used shutter speed 1/1000 sec and on that speed the first curtain was so much slower than the second.
