Shasta Polaroids

26 May 2009

A couple of weeks ago I picked up an old Polaroid Sun 660 from a guy on Craigslist.  It was a mere $20, but since Polaroid have stopped production the film is rather more expensive; about $1.50 to $2 a pop depending on expiry date.

A group of us went house boating on Lake Shasta last weekend.  We took a tonne of polaroids which Tessa was kind enough to scan.

The camera rocks.  It’s big and chunky, and takes a good 20s to charge up the flash, but the noise it makes when you take a photo, and the retro-quality of the prints are awesome.
