3 stops of dynamic range and every film pack a lottery. Can’t beat it 😊

Time to buy a 110 camera

HELP THE FIRST ONE BHAHAHJWJHUWBUAHHAA I ALMOST SHIT MY PANTS 😭😭😭

bro, photoshop has to be bought and I don't have it 😔

Instax all the way, Polaroid is a scam nowadays.

What kind of light meter do you use

Why so many people interested in Polaroid but not LIGHT METERS?!?! So perplexed. I mean, I guess young people are too lazy to get involved in the process?? They just want to point-and-shoot? I’m a PHOTOGRAPHER, I don’t “snap a photo”, I take my time to “craft an image”. It’s messy, it takes time and it doesn’t always LOOK COOL. Guess that’s why all I have are stacks of printed work instead of a UA-cam channel!

I don't understand this thing people have with polaroid. For me, it's mostly a bad filme that sometimes gives us a nice picture. And the new cameras seems bad too. I'll save my money from that. But, I need to say I like the pictures that come out nice, and all the different frames they sell are cool as well. So maybe I'll get and old Polaroid camera or the first Now.

So still overpriced crap

Damn I have never metered with my Polaroid, but after this I think I have to at least try. The shots after metering were so good!

The portraits at 4:20 (tehehe) have that timeless, classy look to it which I love. My old B&W Polaroids have also got that sepia look to them after less than 2 years so hopefully the new chemistry lasts much longer

yeah.. glad i sold my polaroid camera's.

Two windmills not far from the Hollandia Nurseries. The "Happy Landings Protected Open Space" on route 25 in Brookfield. Still not loving the new Polaroid film. Uneven exposure and developing. They should bring back the Polaroid pack film!

Nice & Thanks :)

Where do you buy the super bock beers ?

It hurts to see that NOW+ haha but fun idea with the red filter. I didn’t even think of that. Going to need to give that a try!

I think people really want Polaroid to work like they used to- but they just don’t. Their new cameras all have issues. Their film has issues. They’re just too costly shoot and to have a photo simply not work as intended adds insult to injury. My Polaroid camera just sits rotting away because the disappointment in their results keeps me from buying more film. The chemistry should spread evenly. Not spreading evenly shouldn’t even happen. The product shouldn’t have launched with this issue. Feeding two frames through simultaneously and then getting jammed shouldnt happen. It didn’t back in the day and they included more photos per cartridge! If I hear clean the rollers to make it work one more time…. I’ve never had any dirt come off the rollers when I cleaned them. The rollers are not the issue. It’s the new thickness of the chemistry pouch. The film never seems to be able to get enough light. The colours are always muted. They call it an esthetic but really it’s just not a daylight balanced film. If they could produce what they actually claim you get from their cameras, I’d try again. I’m just waiting for them to improve at this point.

So, time to buy a standalone light meter only for Polaroid?

Those portraits you took after metering/adjusting exposure are Killer!

You know what would be great? If Polaroid came out with a firmware update for the Now+ to fix the exposure issues.

"The strap from my son just... broke" Happy Fathers Day Daddy!

Somehow, I wonder if it's not just all their cameras that are broken 😁 I know that Eve&Steve do get good results out of the stuff, but they get all their cameras fixed beforehand by The Instantcameraguy in Australia.

I kind of like that first portrait ngl Sweet Lou, this is a BANGER of a video!

Rip Sun 600 😢

It's a shame that the best way to use the new instant film is the least instant way possible 😂

first! wanna try reviewing rokkor lenses? heard they're pretty sharp and bloomy.

‘Michelle needs me to take out the trash.’ 🤣🤣🤣

3:54 Fade is my favourite

Glad i looked this up before bringing it to new york

I'd love to try the Mint Rollei, but when I got an RF70 it had to go back to Mint 3 times because of issues... The one I have still has some quality issues but they're livable with. Not ideal when the camera was so expensive to begin with for what it is, never mind adding hundreds of extra in shipping for unsuccessful repairs/replacements...

More toilet. Please.

It's not a nostalgia trend it's a "everyone uses iPhone/Sony/Fuji, how can I stand out and be a unique flower trend" lol

I have avoided Adobe like the plague ever since they went subscription only (I could see this coming a long time ago). This means that Adobe is likely to have a different workflow and be more polished than the competition - however - Serif Affinity Photo and ON1 Photo RAW are genuinely good products and can often be bought at a very reasonable price.

Between Instagram and now Adobe, I'm reallyyyyy tired of them trying to sneak this 💩 in. And then they tell us about 'evil evil China that's trying to spy on us'. THE SPIES and THIEVES ARE IN OUR BACKYARD WYM😭

Still waiting for my Mint/Rollei review unit too lol. Great topics - Great new series!

on the glaze topic: it's an attack on the variational autoencoder (vae) of one specific ai model (stable diffusion). it's not a silver bullet against ai, and it's kind of trivial to counter. in simple terms, the way sd works is through an iterative, looping process of generating detail. to make this loop faster, the ai doesn't work on the full-resolution image, but rather on an ai-compressed image (commonly called the "latents"), which is about 50 times smaller than the full resolution image. the vae and its accompanying decoder is the specific part of the ai that compresses and decompresses the image, trying to stuff all the meaningful bits into that small of a space. glaze works by throwing off this encoder, and making it encode the image into nonsense. the ai is trained on encoded images, so if someone tries to train an ai on a glazed image, it is trained on nonsense. it achieves this through adding a simple smoke-looking pattern that's specifically designed to disrupt the ai's inner workings. the problems are: - this is trivial to detect (you can just run the image through an encode-decode cycle and see if it changed significantly) - it is also trivial to counter (some simple blur does it), the stable diffusion community did it within 30 _minutes_ after glaze was first released - the attack is specific to the ai model. a slightly modified autoencoder, a newer ai model that wasn't released yet when the image was published, or a closed-source model like midjourney or dall-e, are all unaffected by glaze - it's computationally intensive and therefore expensive to provide (which is why you only get to do it a limited number of times on this site) ultimately, it's likely just a burden on cara's hosting infrastructure without any real-world benefit except for marketing. i get that people want to do something but this is mostly snake oil.

"hah there you are! Man you saved me AND my life"

So the police need a warrant to search through your things, but Adobe does not... Great.

Lou, about the price for the Mint camera, compare with the prices of good digital cameras and it isn't that crazy. But i will still continue to use my 30 Minox 35 😊

I am eagerly waiting for the day when let's say Koh-I-Noor will sell me an eraser, but force me to sign a contract so their (hilariously underpaid) employee can knock on my door any time, I am obliged to let them in, they'll shuffle through my family photos, comment on them being garbage and point out that I suck at art by the way, then grab a handful of my sketches, make photocopies of them and start selling them just down the street. Then drop an ad into my mailbox before leaving, just for good measure.

Entertaining as ever, but please moar video effects. They were very awesome.

I got a Cara account back in October of 2023. I didn't really start using it until a couple weeks, though. I like it. It *is* slow and has some bugs that irk me a bit, but it's good as a whole. I like that it has stuff for you to enter information like the medium and genre of your art. Overall, it feels more artist-oriented than Instagram, which I really appreciate. Plus, you can also write text-only posts if you want (though I haven't yet).

Hey Lou, Per your linked privacy article, it says US users cannot opt out of the AI post training function. The checkbox that European users see will not appear for US users. 😢

Entertaining as ever, but please fewer video effects. They were very distracting.

hah there you are! Man you saved me and my life!

bobo

Korea and China have been ripping off Japanese brand names for years. Your Yashica wasn’t designed in Japan, and neither was your junk Hyundai car. And, oh, BTW, China and Korea HATE Japan.
