#Polaroid exposure experiment from a long time ago, a friend's flower growing setup with Arduino and moisture sensors. This one was taken with the #I-1, which had (still has?) one of the best optics of all Polaroids I've seen in person.

I loved the camera, but it had some very crippling design flaws. Notably, tiny battery capacity that ran down even when the camera was powered down (meaning the camera was fated to die once the pack lost capacity over time), and weak/delicate gearing that meant even light shocks could permanently prevent the camera from ejecting film properly.

Apparently there's no real solution to the latter even for seasoned polaroid repair people.

The model had a marvelous, very accurate app based manual mode too. I don't think Polaroid was able to replicate the level of functionality until Now+ gen 3 was released recently.

Afternoon.

#PolaroidGo at the edge of Mohave, on the way to LA via South West Chief #Amtrak line.

The small size of the camera and the negatives/film pack makes the Go a fantastic companion for space-strapped travel scenario (I always try to travel light, everything ideally fitting into a backpack).

I took quite a pile of photos from the travel, really need to get around to uploading them soon.

Another late night #polaroid shot. -20C windchill! The frame developed nicely for #expiredfilm from 2021 or so.

This one is a statue in front of a historic immigrant church in #NYC Queens area dating back to the 1890s (1860's if you count their prior location in the same area).

More #expiredfilm shenanigans with #polaroid in pretty extreme cold snap from before. This is what happens with black and white polaroid if you forget to warm it up properly - noticeable underdevelopment for a photo taken directly into the sky on a semi-gray day.

I don't know what changed, but the first two shots of hand-loaded #Polaroid cartridges keep on coming out bunched up together. Ack. I'm running out of expired films!

First shot is another attempt at late night handheld #instantphotography. The second frame is the one ejected bunched together with the first shot - I wonder why it looks like something was exposed on the frame?
