52@52 Week 44

This week, again, was all about the Impossible Project’s new I-1 camera.

I shot color film this time, the new generation I-1 color film. This version has no battery, so it’s a bit cheaper than the film packs made for old Polaroid cameras, which get their power from a battery inside the pack. The I-1 has a built-in battery, which means you need to recharge the camera, but its better for the environment.

My first shots on color all came out muted, kind of faded. Overexposed, actually. It’s not a bad look, but not what I was looking for. I was shooting in Cape May, NJ, and Levittown, PA, on sunny days and got the same kind of results. For the last couple of shots on the pack, I dialed down the exposure about 1/3 of a stop toward darken. This is more representative of what I actually saw. It was a cloudy day, so the colors are muted in a different way, but it’s good.

I’m going to try to shoot some color this week on a sunny day with the exposure adjusted like the first shot and see what I get.
