So far, "Antique" is my favorite filter...

First five photos were taken with an Instax Mini 41, and the last photo was taken with an Instax Mini Evo. My kitty Scout passed away in late August of this year, and I miss her dearly. I'm lucky that I happened to get into photography in the last year of her life, and took around 150 photos of her over the course of that year altogether; it helps to be able to go through both my digital and physical photo albums of her.

Taking inspiration from u/thats_no_wallaby and doing a partial solarization shot at our local clown meetup last night.

More PAL2 from the weekend, really impressed me how interesting the results looked - very close to film, in a different way than the Xhalf.

This was my first proper outing with my camera, and I'm really happy with how these came out.

I realized recently that I have had basically zero photos of myself in the last 5-6 years, whether selfies or photos taken by others, or really any photos with friends and family in general. I've always loved the vintage look of instant photos, so I bought the Lomo'Instant Wide Glass camera.

I'm finally starting to get the hang of taking shots (in the second shot, you can see notes I wrote about the settings to try to remember). the viewfinder is basically just a keyhole so what you see through the viewfinder has little relation to what you're actually taking a photo of. so, there's a lot of trial and error to get a feel for which zoom distance I should sue and what different kinds of lighting look like.

I ordered a flat bed scanner so that I can digitize photos soon!

Here are some favs from my trip to Dollywood. It was overcast but very bright, which I think worked to my advantage.

Camera: SQ1

Mini 90

I don’t always get the best results with this camera but I dig how these turned out.

The WideEvo came out top. I took almost three (well, 2.5) cameras with me to the park today: my old X100S, the silly iPhone and the WideEvo.

The WideEvo was the Goldilocks of the day. The iPhone was too easy. The X100S too hard. The WideEvo was somehow just right.

Impressions:

* The favourites are easy to access. I hadn't used this in a while except to take family photos with, but I found switching favourites to be quick and easy. 

* Love the colours. This camera is extremely versatile. Images end up with a satisfying Fuji colour surprise to them. 

* The shutter is mushy, but has a fun placement. It's sometimes hard to half-press because the camera goes off quickly. The good thing is, in nice light, the camera seems to find focus quite quickly. 

* The screen glares hard in sunlight. I'm not very photogenic, so staring at myself reflected on the rear screen is a pain. Lucky this thing just takes good shots regardless of what you point it at.

* I really should play more with the different effects. Mixing and matching on the Evos seems like so much fun. I think a more adventurous person would thrive on these.

* People are curious. Even in a quite quiet park, people are fascinated with this thing. I imagine you'd get stopped frequently in a city. Bring a spare pack of film with you.

* Fixed lens is more fun. At one stage, I had a chance to share some time with a few birds. The iPhone somehow came out, and it was just too easy. Having a fixed lens and quite a wider frame encourages movement, which brings you closer to your surroundings. The limitations of the camera provide much of the enjoyment. I ended up using the so-called ‘cinematic crop’ mostly because it made it even narrower and less phone-camera-like.

* Instax cameras are relaxing. They are easy shooters. Even though the X100S is a sentimental favourite, it's tricky. No tilt screen seemed to matter more on that than on the WideEvo. Because it's so auto, it's also more casual and forgiving. You think less and look more (if you know what I mean). I was actually out in the park today to sort out some thoughts, so perhaps the Instax would have been the better choice for that. You can play with images rather than work for them. 

* I hope you like the photos. Most are straight from the camera unedited.

Have fun shooting, everyone.

This morning it was grey and rainy and I went out with my Jollylook wooden pinhole camera and a pack of Instax square to take some pictures in the rain from the "frog perspective". Not the best weather for the light hungry Instax film but I gave it a try. The shots became very blueish.

This is such a stupid question and I can't believe I can't figure it out but can someone please tell me how to close the stupid storage screen on the Instax Mini Evo. I know when you press on the little button that looks like a play button, it opens storage. I know how to mess around in the storage screen and all the settings. But if I press back or menu or even the plus button it just opens a new menu or something and it doesn't take me back to the main camera. I have to turn it off and on again just to get back

I know this is really stupid, I know it's probably the most simple solution ever and it's astounding I can't do it myself. But no tutorial online shows how to get BACK to the camera they just show how to print or mess with an image which I ALREADY KNOW HOW TO DO. Please help me in the most simple words possible. Just tell me what button to press.

Had some hits and misses with exposure lately, but this turned out a treat!

I have been struggling to find a place where to keep my instax photos

Hi everyone!
I’ve been using my Instax Mini Evo for a while, and it used to print perfectly fine. However, recently, my prints have suddenly become noticeably blurry, faded, and less sharp than before.
I’ve noticed a few things:
The prints look washed out, with much lower contrast and less detail than before.
One of the photos also had multiple thin white horizontal lines across it.
The original photos are sharp and clear.
I’m still using Rich Mode, just like before.
I’ve tried printing both photos transferred from my phone and photos taken directly with the Mini Evo, but both come out blurry.
I’ve even switched to a brand-new pack of film, but the issue persists.
The film isn’t expired and has been stored properly.
The camera hasn’t been dropped or damaged.
The only recent change is that I switched to a new iPhone and paired it with my Mini Evo again, but I’m not sure if that could be related.
I’ve attached a comparison photo showing how my prints used to look versus how they look now.
Has anyone experienced something similar? Could this be a problem with the printer mechanism, or is there something else I should check before assuming the camera is faulty?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I feel the third photo was slightly underexposed again, but otherwise they turned out to be pretty good 👍

Right now I only have pics of me and my dad

Excited to post more of what I took in this sub!!
