6 Tips for Better Polaroid Originals Film Performance

[@9000tastebuds]

6:04 Aren't we all??

[@SweetLouPhotography]

I’ll have two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda.

[@9000tastebuds]

Sweet Lou Photography Oh man, check out special agent Big Smoke!!

[@markus3355]

Would’ve never guessed that pictures change cast based on the temperature theyre shot at. Oddly enough, a lot of my pictures either come out with a purple cast on a normal exposure, and dark green when underexposed.

[@SweetLouPhotography]

Chemistry is so weird

[@sabrinaachamberlain]

Great tips, man. And I'm also loving your humor. From a fellow photographer creator to another... great job! New fan over here - I'm also a polaroid lover myself!

[@SweetLouPhotography]

Thanks for the kind words!! I'm going to hop on over to your channel. Cheers!

[@olizelda]

Came for some tips, left with a new channel subscription. Keep doing your thing man, I love it!

[@SweetLouPhotography]

Thanks so much! Welcome aboard ;)

[@tumeekay3113]

Man... this editing is amazing, top-notch, I love it

[@SweetLouPhotography]

Thanks so much, glad you dig what I'm doing

[@Jordan-ot7qf]

Dude…you seriously CRACKED ME UP. Holy smokes, you’re a natural comedian. Laughed my ass off the entire video.

[@mione3688]

Thanks for the roller cleaning tip! I hadn't heard of this and thought my camera might be faulty when I saw the blue marks on a few photos. :)

[@_EllieLOL_]

Also apparently you’re *not* supposed to shake them once they come out

[@SweetLouPhotography]

Yep, that hasn't been a thing for a while. Big fake news coming from Outkast

[@caromac_]

That was for peel apart.

[@arockwell4408]

So, yeah, a few years behind but here I am, getting all knowledgeable and stuff. I’ll be lurking in your archives for a while. Thanks for the pointers!

[@Sarkamslot]

I'm getting into photography and was thinking about trying the Polaroid relm but this makes me wanna stick with my dslr. I can change my settings and I don't have to worry about temperature with it as far as I know

Iittttitititittitttititititittitittititititititititiuuu

[@sciencequestguy]

I bought the camera today and was very, very disappointed. Very poor film quality. A half-century has passed since the Polaroid was on the market. Surprised that they couldn't do better than this.

[@Justin_DeLeon]

pls keep making videos da been looking for a channel like this for a while :)

[@SweetLouPhotography]

Really means a ton to me, thanks so much.

[@oliverok5849]

It’s not too bad when it’s hot because the red effect is quite good looking

[@lukeswasey7451]

[@dixienormous7]

Dude I came into this video knowing nothing of cameras, photography, or anything really in this field. But the last thing I was expecting was laughing my ass off at the funny little side remarks and witty jokes😂 Got to learn something new and had a good laugh, def worthy of a sub. Good stuff!!

[@victoriabonatti1566]

Jesus i'm SAD. the camera and the films are so sensitive (?). I bought this camera and 3 packs of film and i don't use it much because in my country is SO EXPENSIVE, and even buying it on USA was very expensive and i find out that the films should't be inside the camera for long and that the packs expire after one year.

[@Jess-cw6rr]

oh man so glad i checked this video out. i leave to nyc tomorrow and its in the low 30's - good to know about keeping entire camera near body to help develop film. thanks!

[@slayer-bd3784]

I really love this video. Didn't want it to end. I'm getting a Polaroid Now I-Type yellow tomorrow and i think i'm ready!

[@SweetLouPhotography]

Thanks so much!! Congrats, and best of luck with the camera and film

[@dominicvillena8486]

It's myyyyy faaaavvvvvoooorrrrrriiiiitttttteeeee beer. And good luck with the new camera, hope you enjoy it. And I'm happy to help

[@anap.a]

@@SweetLouPhotography ahah I also noticed!! I am wondering where are you from? Thank you for the polaroid tips :)

[@crushgforce1994]

Do you guys recommend the new polaroid now plus? Because i want to buy one this summer and i need help ;c, it's gonna be my first polaroid camera and maybe 120 I type film because i'm from Chile and the extra is so much money.

[@ac12304]

Thanks for making this video!! I took two pictures today on my polaroid I-type, but they came out pretty red. It was about 87 degrees F today and I put the pics in my bag after I took them. None of the beautiful color they could've captured turned out :((( That won't happen again though! :>

[@emmalee8260]

SoooOOooOO helpful. Thank you!

[@SweetLouPhotography]

No prob, happy to help. And even better if it saves people a few bucks haha

[@MitchellRoman97]

Nice video actually a little funny without being cheesy, oh also informative and helpful :) moisture

[@lewisthomasstevenson745]

Probably a stupid question but can you put them back in the fridge if you swap out the film halfway through? I’ve been doing this and I’m not sure if it has a big affect

[@TimTimTimTimTimTimTimTimTim]

My Polaroid 600 came with its old Manuel and in the manual they said to make sure the photo is above 55 degrees. I didn’t know why until now.

[@EmilyNIcholas-c4x]

I keep getting a water fall effect right in the centre and sometimes in a concave shape near the corners !

[@wannadanc3894]

You have a fucking great sense of humor. Found this video informative and entertaining!!

[@chillfreek1015]

I’m failing school so I can’t get photography as a class for my senior year ;-; but I still want to be a photographer, any tips on how I can do that?

[@SweetLouPhotography]

Hang in there. In terms of being a photographer, the best way to get there is to practice. To me it's an ongoing process. You get better every time you go out and do it. That's why I started making those crapshoot videos on my channel. It helps me get out there and develop my process. Don't get stressed over gear at first. New cameras are fun, but anything works- a phone, an old digital camera, film. ANYTHING. As long as you are making photos all the time. That's my best advice. And super important-- have fun with it. Love the process, love what you do, and you'll keep doing it with ease. Hope that helps.

[@dacool_boe4071]

RIP ground hog

[@SweetLouPhotography]

Yeah, New York just hasn't been the same since then

[@filmismorefun]

3:52 IT WORKS! Thanks, Lou!

[@silviacizeta2878]

Thank you so much!!! I'm subscribing, you really are good

[@creepstaa]

Definitely gonna store my polaroids in my ass next time i go shooting! hahaha For real though, I've not shot my Polaroid camera in a while and its just collecting dust. I guess this video is a sign that I should go shoot my B&W film pack now? Great video dude.

[@SweetLouPhotography]

You should go shooting!! Show me what you do :) and thanks as always bud

[@unicornpoop3230]

Why thank you so much! I was gonna go make some winter pictures today! And so glad I watched this before hand

[@CaryOutArk]

Just got a polaroid onestep+, it was cheaper than the Now. Although I don't own a smartphone, hopefully I can use the camera without Bluetooth!

[@ONLYFACT_X]

is it ok to put the photo in an envelope and then put it into a pocket? i guess if there is contact between the actual photo and the inside of your jean photo , then the inside of an envelope is ok, right? as it pertains to the cold. LMK and thanks in advance

[@Commonjam]

Ugh I live in australia and am gonna take pics this week. It is hot and humid. Crap

[@pedromendes5215]

Me: Casually adhding over polaroid fotos. KZbinr: Casually pulls a super bock out. Me: Olha olha o galego 😂

[@Noealz]

I've actually never shot poloroids :(

[@SweetLouPhotography]

It definitely is a ton of fun, but an expensive hobby for sure haha

[@Luna_Potato]

protip, if you want to, look into the various kinds of instax cameras and film, way cheaper, way more reliable and also you don't have o do all the crap he said with polaroid originals film, it can be stored @ room temp and just all you have to do is set your camera, shoot and it just friggen works

[@SweetLouPhotography]

Def dude! I reviewed the Instax Wide and the Mini 9 in the past- love those cameras. I'm working witht he SQ6 now too.

[@carinaneto856]

As a Portuguese, I subbed as soon as I seen the Super Bock. 😆

[@SweetLouPhotography]

I visited Portugal when I was in college, it's the best, and Bock is one of my favorite beers hahah

[@LanieBrice]

And today I learned I was doing it all wrong. Which is comforting cause maybe my photos will stop turning out awful

[@zonca8731]

How do you like the one step 2? I just got the now but was thinking of swapping, also nice coheed merch!

[@SweetLouPhotography]

We are one among the fence. I actually did a review of the One Step 2 (kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJeXmJ6GmbGIp8U) and the One Step Plus (kzbin.info/www/bejne/hp7ZZ41ngbSnbZI) Polaroid Now review coming soon(ish) Hope those vids help!!

[@BazBRZ]

[@filipebregieiro5517]

Subscribing because I saw Super Bock :) Thanks for the video, I've been doing it all wrong.

[@SweetLouPhotography]

super bock is my favorite beer :) :) :)

[@adamzamora7084]

Any tips as to why my pictures with no flash come out underexposed even tho it was shot in a well lit room?

[@SephTunes]

Just always use flash lol

[@valravnn3914]

Also make sure you are far enough/close enough to your subject and your exposure slider (if you’ve got one) is adjusted appropriately

[@GoodnightMoon666]

The date on the side isn't an expiration date? Wow, I told the lady at Walmart that the only pack was 3 months out of date and I asked if I could get a discount and she said no and proceeded to pull the rest of the "expired" film off the shelves so they get their money back. Whoops

[@AunteeDee]

You're great! Thanks for the info and laughs.

[@jakevits9937]

thanks mate! nice vid

[@ChristianLutzYT]

[@nikolavonfulton5195]

[@android185]

What if you do put it in the fridge and use that film on a hot sunny day ?

[@blackb1rd27]

I followed the damn train from france and it takes me to your video, but keeping the photo under my armpit in summer while I was not wearing something was one of the worst idea I had.... :(

[@HighHatOG]

So I took a couple test shots on my car who was sun bathing and they came out out of focus? Is there a minimal focus range? I can’t find anyone talking about it.

[@SweetLouPhotography]

Yes letting them bake in the car can lead to messed up develops-- check out their article about temperatures. support.polaroid.com/hc/en-us/articles/115012519828-How-to-get-the-most-out-of-Polaroid-Originals-film Regarding focus, yes the cameras have minimum focusing distances. Too close will likely end up out of focus. I've never personally had a bad develop make a photo look like it's out of focus, just affects the colors/exposure.

[@DeadboyClique]

I’ve got like 3-4 dots lined on my pictures, any help or info to avoid this weird dotted smudge on pictures??

[@Pizzaguy975]

One day i hope to get a polroid SX70 autofocus and take some pretty nice shots of nature and other stuff I feel like taking a picture of. Tho my next plan of action is getting an instax wide for some good group shots and nature shots. Tho i will say my Sq6 using the instax sqaure flim has been mostly positive results haven't had to many complaints with how it turns out. The only issue i do have is fiinding the flim in a store even target at least ones closer to where I live never had them in stock. Like i said on Instagram had to go out of town to some random best buy just to find one twin pack siting on the shelf. So my future flim shopping will Probably be buying it in bulk online.

[@SweetLouPhotography]

Yeah finding the Square film locally is a pain for me too. I do like the Square a ton though. And I have soooo much to say about how much I enjoy the Instax Wide. Such a fun camera!

7th Tip: look upon 1⭐ Amazon reviews for both Original camera and 600 films

[@alexcabrales503]

[@benandrews9023]

[@goncaloramos8342]

Damn, Super Bock

[@bbylobo]

I looooooove Super Bock. Had it while I was in Portugal back in 2012, it was the beer that got me into beer.

[@echuen4149]

Idk why but my photos from Polaroid lab always turn out to be very yellowish...(the film I bought is the 600 one in the blue box)

[@SweetLouPhotography]

I haven't been able to test one myself- I asked Polaroid to loan me one, but I don't think they like me lol. I have noticed that many of their films have a warmer tone nowadays (specially the originals, not the i-type)

[@MiladJPanah]

I don't care about polaroids but your story telling and tutorial made me hit that subscribtion button

Man, I have been using my hard cloth ... maybe that's why I have odd results!!! My biggest issue is the color stuff is not as good as the B&W stuff as far as contarst and tonality!!!

[@SweetLouPhotography]

Have you tried ordering directly from Polaroid? I've had better results going that route rather than Amazon or buying from a store like Target or Best Buy. Hope that helps!! Seems like the 2020 formula of polaroid film has been more reliable and consistent than the last few years

[@brineb58]

@@SweetLouPhotography I do order directly, gotta get those points!!! I agree the 2020 color is better, but still not as good as i feel it should be.

5:16 Then why shoot Polaroid? Instax is 100 times more reliable. Love your videos, though, you've got me on a binge!

[@SweetLouPhotography]

This vid is also two years old-- I will say their chemistry is far more reliable now than it was when I made this video. For me it's the cameras, I just prefer the look and feel of the Polaroid cameras over the Instax. That's not to say Fuji doesn't make cool cameras or reliable (and cheaper!!!) film, but Polaroid just reels me in with their designs lol. I'm also quite fond of the Lomography Lomo Instant cameras. Those are lovely. Thanks for binge watching!! :)
