I took A TON of photos at Mama Tried and Flat Out Friday this year (unsurprisingly). I also decided to experiment a bit, just for fun.
I got a new Polaroid camera for Christmas and tried it out for the first time at the show. In hindsight, I should have practiced with it first. A lot of my photos were very dark and blurry. I think I know a few things I was doing wrong but I didn't figure that out until later. Oh well. The Polaroid camera also came with a pretty cool set of lens filters. I held them in front of my digital camera lens for some fun analog effects. With the exception of minor straightening with one or two, none of these are retouched or enhanced.
Here are some of the Polaroids I took. A few are pretty cool but I clearly need to practice. Again, these are not digital filters or edits - this is how the photos actually developed, right out of the camera.
OK, buckle up for a week full of blog posts featuring hundreds of photos from Flat Out Friday, Mama Tried and the Pre-Party.
