Type 55 Polaroid - Utah Lake

One of my favorite films: Type 55 Polaroid, has been discontinued. I was lucky enough to be able to get my hands on one more box of it. $90 for 20 sheets. Kind of expensive. Today I made one exposure of Utah Lake. I used a 10 stop Neutral Density filter to get my shutter speed up to about 1/2 hour. The image isn't amazing, but worth posting on the blog.

Yashica C - Twin Lens Reflex

A few years ago I bought an old Yashica C TLR camera. I only ran one roll of film through it and never printed any of them because of poor quality. Just today I was flipping through some old negatives and found them. I thought I'd scan them in just because. The quality is pretty low, but they have a unique look, which I really like. They are both of Utah Lake.
