The toy camera has some frames and different shooting options available. I liked the way this one turned out.

Found a bargain on eBay... a film scanner, with an APS film unit. I've had a 35mm/slide scanner for some time, but never had an APS scanner! Now I have. This led to a expedition to my loft to find lots of APS film canisters from my teen years! Can't wait to digitise the entire collection and add it to Aperture for enhancing and editing. It's like a blast from the past, but from the present... and I love presents! LOL
Advanced Photo System (APS) is a film format for still photography. It was marketed by Eastman Kodak under the brand name "Advantix". The film is 24 mm wide, and has three image formats:
H for "High Definition" (30.2 × 16.7 mm; aspect ratio 16:9; 4x7" print)
C for "Classic" (25.1 × 16.7 mm; aspect ratio 3:2; 4x6" print)
P for "panoramic" (30.2 × 9.5 mm; aspect ratio 3:1; 4x12" print)
The "C" and "P" formats are formed by cropping. The full image is recorded on the film, and an image recorded in one aspect ratio can be reprinted in another. The "C" format has an equivalent aspect ratio to a 135 film image. Most APS cameras (with the exception of some disposable cameras) can record all three formats; the format selection is indicated on the film by a series of exposed squares alongside the image area or recorded on the magnetic coating (see below) depending on the camera. In the absence of an operator-specified format, the machine printing an APS roll will use these indicators to determine the output format of each print.
In January 2004, Kodak announced it was ceasing APS camera production.
As of 2006, new APS cameras are rarely seen for sale. APS film is more expensive to buy and process than 35 mm film, and fewer labs are capable of processing it. The number of available APS film types and emulsions has declined. A small number of manufacturers still produce APS films.

Pesky left hand shadows. One day I'll figure out that what you see through the view finder is not necessarily what you're going to get.... More fun with the funky fuji instant
Still Life.
This is my third shot using PX680 Test Film.
Indoor with two lamps, one tungsten and one LED. Temp.: 20 degrees Celsius.
The camera was mounted on a tripod, but it wasn't necessary.
The colors are perfect, I could see orange, yellow and green.

I took the photos in the same place in the morning and the afternoon.
Please compare the difference in light ;-)
This week I received my new Smash book in the mail, as well as John Green's new book "The Fault in Our Stars". I'm more than happy.
Los bares están comenzando a reinstalar televisores en blanco y negro, los fabricantes de móviles están lanzando modelos que simplemente hacen llamadas telefónicas, los ejecutivos estresados están interesándose en las ferias de manualidades...Y las clásicas cámaras instantáneas Polaroid, cuya producción cesó en 2007, vuelven a irrumpir en las calles, reivindicando una tecnología analógica y más humana. La estética analógica reaparece con fuerza, reivindicando las sorpresas de la baja tecnología frente a la asepsia de lo digital.
¿Os acordáis de las Polaroid? Son artilugios extraños y hermosos, objetos de un futuro que ya pasó. Estas cámaras te consiguen la imagen fotográfica al momento, revelándola delante de tus ojos. Cuando el papel sale de la cámara y la imagen comienza tomar forma, es un momento mágico. Como una fantasmagoría, las figuras comienza a definir sus contornos y colores. Es ahí, además, cuando puedes actuar sobre la imagen. Luz, temperatura, manipulaciones experimentales... Toda una serie de factores que participan en conseguir una pieza única. El resultado es siempre sorprendente.
Estas cámaras pueden volver a utilizarse gracias a la iniciativa de Impossible Project, quien ha vuelto a poner en funcionamiento una fábrica Polaroid abandonada para producir un nuevo papel instantáneo. Adaptada al siglo XXI, esta nueva película para Polaroid produce efectos sorprendentes e irrepetibles, convirtiendo cada fotografía instantánea en una pieza única. Impossible salva así a millones de cámaras Polaroid en perfecto estado de funcionamiento de volverse obsoletas.
¿No conservas tu vieja Polaroid? ¡No hay problema! En Gnomo tenemos cámaras Polaroid restauradas por Impossible Project para que queden en perfecto estado de funcionamiento, igual o mejor que el primer día. Hay un montón de modelos distintos, algunos con las bolsas, cajas y complementos originales. ¡El futuro es instantáneo!
Designed for Polaroid's 600-series integral film, the Impulse models are similar in body design to the OneStep or Pronto! models released for SX-70 film in that they feature a non-folding plastic body, single-element plastic lens and fixed focus.
The basic Impulse model as shown here is usually found in a dark gray colour, but there were a variety of different colours of Impulse released including yellow, red and light gray. Some autofocus models were also made which were designated as Impulse AF and feature higher quality 3-element lenses. The body is a hard-wearing plastic, and features rubber grips around the rear, a tripod-socket, flash-ready light and film counter. The flash is raised by pressing down onto the top of the unit; this also turns the camera on and retracts the lens cover.
Features common to all Impulse fixed-focus models are:
Single element plastic lens with fixed aperture (116mm, f9)
4 ft minimum focus distance.
Exposure compensation controls below lens.
Flash fires for every shot; cannot be user controlled.
The Impulse Portrait model adds a simple plastic "close-up" lens for focussing between 2 and 4 feet, but it lacks sharpness. The yellow-bodied model also features a warning sticker reminding users that, despite its colour scheme, it is not waterproof.
