How to shoot Polaroid photos in hot weather

[@brucepatton9017]

Sooo glad the film I sent you worked! Fun to watch you used it. I also LOVE the Keep Portland Weird photo, the defect made it great!

[@JustAnotherChris]

Thanks again! Seriously!! And me too! I may make some copies to put up on the site. If I do I will definitely send you a copy!

[@amypotter1000]

I love all the vintage signs! And Caleb’s bag was the star of the show. 😝

[@JustAnotherChris]

Indeed it was!

[@polamation]

Be sure to check the rollers on the pack camera before you use it again. Sometimes the goop can dry up and lock ‘em up

[@ferntheneuropoet]

Came over here from your instant film masterclass (segment on film and temperature) - just had to say it’s so cool to see places in Portland on your channel! - I live just outside the city and so it feels like seeing “home”. 😊

[@JustAnotherChris]

Welcome! So glad to see you here!! Also hopefully the class has helped and you’re always home here!

I have a polaroid now plus do i have to worry about the camera itself getting too hot in 110+ degree weather

[@joeduszynski4109]

For cold weather back in the day I used a pair of battery operated hunting socks to keep the film and camera warm in the bag.

[@rf8221]

Just an FYI the Fujifilm prints were developing on the magenta side because they expired in 2006, not because of the heat. I've peeled many expired Fukifilm and Fujifilm usually leans heavy on the magenta side when expired.

[@JustAnotherChris]

Thank you for confirming my suspicions!

[@techkid1248]

Hey! In 5:34 part of the video. What music did you use?

[@Gamer6628]

I have an Instax Wide 210 and I keep the photos in my pocket after I take them and then when I get homr or in my car, I see how they came out. Best to keep them away from sunlight when you take them

[@JustAnotherChris]

with Instax you don’t have to worry about that

[@StarEmojis]

Thank you Chris! Just got my own instax and snapping is so fun, just found your channel. Thanks!

[@JustAnotherChris]

Oh awesome!! And welcome! Got lots of great stuff on the way

[@connorqb1241]

but the change of color is what makes the picture great. more pink for warm weather so you can really kind of "feel" the warmth through the picture and more blue to "feel" the cold.

[@JustAnotherChris]

That’s one way to look at it

[@creepertech9872]

Quick question, do you have/are you planning to make any guide or tips on shooting in cold weather? The place I live in gets very hot summers and very cold winters, and this video helped a lot with finally being able to get some shots in the middle of the year, but I still can't do much during late fall to the end of winter unless I'm inside, which means it's real hard to get some potentially real cool Christmas photos outside.

[@Argo-F-Ur-Sef]

OMG, my dad had that exact 1972 Polaroid case. I had totally forgotten about it until,I saw this video.

[@JustAnotherChris]

It’s pretty sweet

[@gordwrath6811]

My nephew got me a 1980s land camera with the flash. It's still in the box. The film just came in. I want this cameras first film, to be of my boy.

[@kateiris956]

needed this! love ur vid style

[@JustAnotherChris]

Thank you!

[@badname8501]

Thanks Chris I saw this video 4 days ago when I didn’t have Polaroid film but now today I do and tested you’re trick out with one of those plushies with a pouch you put in the freezer and even with that it works thank you Chris!

[@lowercase7455]

I know this may sound quite stupid, but since I'm really new to instant photography, is it possible to replace the film cartridge battery? Basically I found an expired sx70 cartridge on the flea market for like 4$ and the battery isn't working.

[@JustAnotherChris]

Hmm honestly chances are if the battery is dead the film probably won’t work. BUT A workaround would be to put the cartridge in and I type camera like the onestep+. Then go into manual mode and adjust the shutter speed accordingly for that film.

[@lowercase7455]

@@JustAnotherChris Oh okay, thanks a lot!

[@syukwan-kerr8118]

You could take a working battery and take out the film of dead battery pack in a dark bag and change the battery then put the film back in. This is gonna be hard however because you can't see whats going on.

[@igaluitchannel6644]

Isn't there a way to underexpose, as they all look overexposed.

[@DoctorStarPilot]

As soon as this video finished, I went on eBay and got me a case like Caleb’s LOL It was beautiful!

[@JustAnotherChris]

It’s a great case!!

[@57Stratmann]

Very kool, great idea and tip !! Put my name in for one of those Brooklyn film camera constant temp things, put still haven't heard a thing about it either..... Great video, thanks again !!

[@JustAnotherChris]

Yeah I have been wondering about that. Hopefully they don’t ghost people on it. Haven’t been hearing great things about them these days unfortunately.

[@margaretking9914]

Hey Chris, Do you know if it’s possible to have Polaroid photos restored? They were damaged in a fire 26 years ago. The plastic cover is off but I can still see my mom in the Polaroid pictures. Unfortunately, she passed on.

[@JustAnotherChris]

Hmm I would say the physical photo no but you could always scan it and have a digital copy of it. Sorry about your loss.

[@rf8221]

Definitely take a self portrait with the peel-apart (did you even shoot peel-apart if you don't have a print of yourself to prove it, c'mon;)) great video.

[@JustAnotherChris]

Haha but indeed I do have 1….heck even 2 photos actually. Check it out kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6WoiYZrebpjbsk

[@Playerdue]

Great tip! I will definitively test it too next time I shoot instant!

[@JustAnotherChris]

Yes!! Definitely do it!

[@Erez-the-Berez]

Thx for the tips! As someone who lives in a hot country that’s very useful for me ;) Btw, i also heard that potting ur new-born picture under a water bottle can also help :)

[@JustAnotherChris]

Indeed that can help as well. But I have found of the water bottle isn’t big enough it can develop an even or with a ring. Also This methods low temperature lasts a lot longer.

[@Erez-the-Berez]

@@JustAnotherChris interesting… anyways, thx for ur response! I really do appreciate it :)

[@MyStupidheartdont]

With your opinion which printer is goooood.. Hp or Epson..

[@JustAnotherChris]

Hmmm I don’t have much experience here but I would say epson potentially

[@william9322]

Any chance you can review the Escura Instant 60s Hand-powered camera?

[@JustAnotherChris]

That would cool and if I ever get my hands one I definitely will

[@ComputerKisser1984]

Me in Australia about to be in summer: interesting

[@jaamoe_]

The “keep Portland Weird” photo is a weird print. Which works I think.

[@jaamoe_]

HAHAHAHA I finished commenting and then you said the same thing.

[@JustAnotherChris]

Heck’s yeah!

[@ejalue]

I've watched a couple of your videos because I've trying figure out what camera to buy but I cant decided and I am new to all this any suggestions chris or anyone in this community ?

[@JustAnotherChris]

I tell people to start with a Fuji instax mini camera. Cheapest way to get started.

[@ejalue]

Thank you

[@TheHuman_Hiiipod]

I have that same “leather” Polaroid suitcase, would you be up to trade for it?

[@JustAnotherChris]

Hmmm possibly shoot me a message on Instagram

[@TheEigylyte]

thank u for the tip , i realy wan to play with my sx 70 film again :)

[@JustAnotherChris]

Do it!

[@MattCamp_]

This is so helpful!!!

[@JustAnotherChris]

Glad it helped!

[@DJepsilnVEVO]

Where have you been 2 months ago 😅

[@JustAnotherChris]

Technically I was right here giving you these epics tips about 10 months ago 😂

[@jennarichards]

Hey anyway you would sell me a print of the keep Portland weird photo! I love it so much and the imperfection adds so much to it! 😍

[@JustAnotherChris]

I think could make that happen!! Shoot me a message on Instagram and I can see what I can do for you!

[@geonr6617]

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@JustAnotherChris]

It's what I do!

[@dmitriyfedorov6331]

Expired 2006!! Fantastic!

[@JustAnotherChris]

Right?!

[@1987productions]

woohoo

[@knoptop]

COol!

[@JustAnotherChris]

Radical!

[@EMVelez]

How come all photo nerd dudes dress the same? Lol

[@JustAnotherChris]

How so?

[@EMVelez]

@@JustAnotherChris beards, flannels, and baseball caps. It’s like a uniform.

[@alexmorrow3750]

Can anyone tell me what the marks at the bottom of the pictures are, they almost look like blue flames, I've had some with mine and I'm not sure what causes it

[@JustAnotherChris]

It’s just how polaroid be sometimes. It’s normal.
