Two Polaroid Lessons Learned
This is my second post on the 52 Rolls project about the trials and tribulations of learning to shoot with Polaroid technology.
This post follows from the one I did about the Polaroid Land 100 camera here.

These two Polaroids stand as my roll number two. They are the first two Polaroids that I have taken (at least in living memory) and rife with “teaching moments”. Not only did I mess up one of the shots, I then committed a major newbie mistake. Just to complicate things I decided to recover the negatives and messed up those attempts in very basic ways. However, there is opportunity in this mess and so I decided to explore those possibilities too. This post is about the mistakes and some lessons learned, I will do another post sometime, when I have made some more pictures, hopefully with few mistakes.
I recently bought a Polaroid Land 100 with the idea of using it on 52 Rolls. I wrote about cleaning it up and modifying the battery holder to take AAAs here if you are interested in the camera technical side of things…

Hi Ken – I’ll take that as a vote for, coming from you. I quite like the results from the storm drain, in the same way I liked the light-leaky shots from my grandmothers little folder. They have a ton of character or personality. No much technical proficiency, but they are interesting to me. I can see why people used to distress polaroids during processing, drawing on the them and so on.
