Just remember, that is an instant camera, so you don't get to do digital wizardry with it. It takes the photo, spits out the picture, and thats it. Also you have to buy instax film.

Thats cool if you were taking photos with it and then taking photos of the photos (:mindblown:). If you are interested in cheap digital, you could always start with a lil point-and-shoot like I did.
Bought a Sony PnS for $100 something years ago and had fun with it till I needed to graduate to something else. If you check craigslist, you can get fairly recent ones for far less than $100 and
achieve the old school look with post processing. Half the time, getting an old look just requires messing with contrast, possibly adding grain, and changing the color balance.

Yeah I'm copping Photoshop too, so that would kind of defeat the purpose:mjlol:. I'll probably get the Canon PowerShot SX420 or something within that bracket.

Yeah I honestly find it interesting how I took pictures of her and other girls that are as fine as her want to work with me, really makes you question if you’re ever gonna have to check your morals doing this lol


I fw your opinion, it’s a concept, mainly just Union app practice.

Gonna start my photography insta, start doing more street (I got a number of photos but did not find them good.)

Did not intend to edit my photos to look filmy but its just how I rolled with these. Did not care about dimensions, either.

What do you do to post the images here like that?

I use the flickr API explorer to get the web-ready photos off my flickr.

Flickr Api Explorer - flickr.photos.getSizes

Just grabbed a random photo link

The bold numbers, you copy those from your flickr direct link and put it in the Value box on the api page. It will show you static links(photos without the flickr frame) in pre-arraged
sizes like 800x640. You just copy from http link all the way to .jpg and post it on here using the image box.

From Rome & The Vatican City, to NYC and DC

So the big pitch on my camera is the zoom. I befriended someone with a tripod since I didn't have one on this trip and snapped this photo of the moon. Mind you, I was in the highly lit Vatican when I shot this. I'm actually going to try this shot from home within the next week since I live outside the city next to hills.

Didn't really get the opportunity to shoot when I was in Amsterdam since I was piss drunk half the time. I got a decent amount of camera shots which will be in my next post highlighting my camera photos. This, right outside our AirBNB in a town right outside the city
