The Mountains are Calling...

West Virginia

...and I must go." John Muir.

Minolta Instant Pro. Polaroid Spectra Image film, expired 2007. Close up lens.

Once again, I used the only adjustment on these instant Polaroid cameras which is lighten/darken and set it to darken. The Instant Pro which is essentially a Polaroid Spectra has a menu on a LCD screen where you can change different functions. One that is really fun is multiple exposures. You can set it to take up to five images on one photo.

The close up lens attaches over the front of the camera. You measure the distance to your subject by pulling out a string to the subject. When it touches, you are in the right focal range.

I'm continually impressed with your images from the Minolta Instant Pro and this is no exception. It's a very inviting image to anyone who enjoys hiking. V

This is quite remarkable. I love the tones and shades you are getting with your Polaroid (which sounds much more sophisticated than the old polaroids I remember). At any rate, this is a very dreamy, lovely, vintage-style shot. V
