Polaroid

How to use a polaroid.

Some months ago I bought a second-hand polaroid, which I didn´t know how to use properly. I wasted 3 photos before going back to the shop where I had bought it, of course they were all yellowy and weird. So, today I went back to that shop and they told me how to use it the right way. This is what I learnt. (All this applies to old cameras with new reels)

• To take the picture you´ve got two buttons, the big one is for flash, if you don´t need flash use the smaller one.
• Put the hand on the front side of the picture while its printing, so the light doesn´t damage its quality.
• After you should put the picture somewhere dark for 5 to 7 minutes.
• The photo will be done by then.
• To protect the camera, keep it up-side-down in a dark place.
• If it´s summer keep the reel inside the fridge (this is because of the humidity)

I hope this works!!
