CCSF: Shooting Fuji instant film (instant color pictures)

A few weeks ago, you learned how to use the Fuji brand instant film backs.  These videos review that information, and will help you if you get confused when loading the film.



Tip 1:  Fuji instant film is designed to be used in natural daylight.  If you can find the Black&White version, that can be used in all lighting situations.

Tip 2: pictures that are too light have too much exposure.  Pictures that are too dark have too little exposure.  This may feel opposite of film exposures, but you'll get use to it.

Tip 3: if you don't finish the entire pack of film, there is a way to save it for later.  Use a film loading room in total darkness to take the film out and store it in a black bag (you can use a spare from paper or film.  When you want to use the rest of the pack, simply reload in total darkness, making sure the paper tabs come out in the same spot.

Tip 4:  Fuji instant film is available from bhphotography.com.

And here's a repost just for fun.  A photographer using instant Fuji film in the streets.
