What to do with terrible Instax photos ☹

So I gave in..... I used my Instax, but now I regret it.

I couldn't stand not taking photos so very stupidly I decided to take photos of some flowers. Yes, flowers. And sadly the first 3 turned out crap, this happens a LOT to me, I get a craving to use the camera and then take a handful of duds. If anyone else uses on of these cameras you will know how expensive and hard to get film is....

The Solution? Washi Tape!

Washi tape has a particular way of making even the worst photos look a little cuter. At least now when I look through my album I won't be too mad and it was a good opportunity to try out some of my new tapes and at least now I know not to photograph flowers....

Instax withdrawal ☹

All summer I have been happy snapping with my Instax mini 7s. Without school and dance I have had a LOT of time on my hands, I have now finished my first album and am almost halfway into my second one! You can see more on these in an older post here. But, since I have come back from my dance intensive "Shawbrook Summer School" where I used my rainbow film, which you can see here I have had nothing to photograph! Given that the film is so expensive I'm not exactly going to go out and take photos of some flowers! My best friend in the whole world and fellow Lomographer Sarah has been away at another intensive, so even my photo buddy isn't here! I am dreaming of hearing that printing buzz again! Hopefully I will get some shots next week when she returns and with our other bunhead buddy Elizabeth before I head off to The Dublin Cheer Experience on Wednesday :D Which I will post more about next week!

Rainbow Instax Mini film Review

For christmas this year I received a pack of Instax Mini Rainbow film. I have been waiting for the right opportunity to use it, so when I went to Shawbrook residential dance summer school I thought it would be perfect and we could all have fun using them!

I loved the overall look of the film and it added even more fun to my Instax, the only disadvantage that I saw was that when I put them in chronological order they didn't match up. That was a real downside because I store all of my photos in my album and it looked a bit off.

I would definitely think of buying more rainbow film or at least trying some of the other fun options, but I thought it went perfectly with the event I was photographing and really completed the photos :)

New Instax mini album and fun film

Woo Hoo! My new instax mini stuff arrived this week! I bought a 2NUL mini size polaroid album in yellow, a double pack of plain film, a single( 10 shots ) of Rainbow film and a single of Rilakkuma meets honey film. So far I have only been using plain film so I am super excited to try out the adorable cartoon ones! I will post more on the Rilakkuma film once I use it.

This is my 2nd 2NUL album, I loved the first one (in blue) so much I decided to go with the same style for the 2nd one. They hold alot and look so cute and chubby when they are filled.

I will try to write more posts on Instax minis in the future!
