hey people ! welcome to my new blog. if you are still wondering where are my old posts, please move on okay. they will be forever hidden from ze net, unless you managed to hack my blogger account.
nothing much have changed really. still a student, still struggling with assignments and classes, no income, no job, still wondering around kuala terengganu town looking for entertainment, trust me you won't be interested to know.
nevertheless, today am here to share you my new passion in photography : POLAROID ! !
here is the story of me getting a polaroid camera :
i am flattered to be chosen as one of the recipients for ucsi award. i have received two awards this year, the scholarship award and the presidential award. don't ask me how did i get it. i was shocked too. but then, the award includes a rm800 cash. i know, awesome right ;D since the day i have been informed about the good news, i already start planning how would i spend the 800bucks. that's why i don't have savings, fml :(
maybe i could go shopping until like that (pointing at the picture above)
maybe i could spend that lump sum of money, plus top up a few hundreds to get a bloody coach purse
maybe i could use that money to buy this, do this do that, can't make up my mind fml. and i always wanted a polaroid camera. so happened that am going to china for my internship soon, therefore i want something that can take a nice photo of me, wearing the winter coat, playing with snow etc etc youdonwanttoknow. so, i went to my online-gadget-shopping-district, lowyat forum, and spent a night looking for a polaroid camera. and look what i found ::::::
Polaroid onestep rainbow instant camera. madly in love ! until i found out that the film for this polaroid camera gonna cost me 80bucks. eightybloodybucks fml. its like burning money every time i press SNAP.
therefore i choose the most common polaroid camera which is fujifilm instax mini 7s. the cheapest one in the fujifilm instax family. even the film can be purchased at most of the camera shops. so convenient !
got my instax mini at 280bucks. a pack of film for 10 pieces cost me around 25bucks
when i got it, first thing i did was reading the manual. (i love reading manual -..-) then it is stated in the manual that it won't work when the temperature goes below 4 degree celcius. if shooting at a temperature below than that, all you will get is a blank white picture. i was like WTF, i bought it because i wanna take picture of snow :/ never mind, it is just a statement, sometimes statement can be wrong. i trust you me instax ! please don't fail me.
so far, i'm still trying to understand how it works. i love love love when i use it outdoor when there's sunlight and blue sky. tho, the indoor picture sucks max as the background is forever dark. i guess thats the disadvantage of it but i can live with it as i really really love the photos taken outdoor under the sunlight.
here, i've labelled what mode it has. as you can see, there's only 4 modes that you can choose from: indoor, cloudy, sunny and bright. you have to manually choose which mode you prefer when you snap. therefore, you need to experiment with it in order to understand which mode work best for which condition. i'm still experimenting. maybe next time i will update you again about my findings. :P
tho I LOVE POLAROID ! as the design looks like a toy camera, its so attention seeking lah. last time went to mak long (sell the best keropok lekor in kuala terengganu!) with it, and a stranger approached me and ask me about me instax. he's fascinated how it works as he hadn't heard about a camera that can get the photo printed out instantly once snapped. come on, the first polaroid camera exist since 1948 lo. so i snapped a photo of him with his motorbike and give the photo to him. managed to put a smile on his face, so i'm happy ;D
so yep, me lovin' me new toy. i'm happy that i bought it. ♥.♥.♥.♥
photo that i snapped:::::::
THE END
