Recently I have been thinking about how times have changed, before all photos were printed and put into albums, with even dates and notes on the back of them. Now, that is all forgotten about. We take photos and keep them on our phones occasionally post on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites that we may have. How sad will we be if one day something happened to our phones and they got deleted and we "couldn't be bothered to back it up" so we lost everything. However if we had hardcopies of our memories we wouldn't have to worry about this.
In February, my mum, sister and I made went to New York City and I wanted one of the authentic, nostalgic instant cameras to take with me. To document memories. I have heard so much about Polaroid cameras. I have seen the Fujifilm 8 camera which comes in many different colours. However, I went for the Fujifilm Instax mini 90 as this one has many more features and buttons to play around with. This camera retails for around £100-£130 depending on where you're buying it from and also some come with film and some don't, this may effect price.
Here are some pictures I have taken using this amazing camera. I love the idea of being able to see the photo develop in front of my eyes, the pictures develop in around 40 seconds.
The setting that the camera has:
Flash
Party Mode
Kids
Landscape
Brightness control
Macro mode
Bulb exposure
Double exposure
This camera also has a tripod socket, the power switch and the shutter button is the same. One thing that I really like about this camera is that the battery is chargeable, rather then having to buy batteries for the camera. It comes with a battery pack and charger for it too. You can change modes by rotation of the dial. This camera has many features and many settings that make it stand out from the rest of the instax cameras. I really like the double exposure setting on this camera, I have a picture above using this setting, of myself and the Empire state building.
