Why I Shoot Instant Film Now (Fuji Instax Wide 300)

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ก.ย. 2019
  • In this video I discussed why I shoot instant film now. I also, discussed in detail the technicalities of the instant camera I use. The instant film camera that I used is the Fuji Instax Wide 300 that I bought from BestBuy.
    My first few rolls of instant film were shot to take portraits and still life photos. This shoot was very straightforward and indeed a very positive one! I thoroughly enjoyed shooting instant film because it provides the photos right away. This is also a good way to gauge how photos will look when shooting film in shoots.

    In natural daylight do you use the L setting or the D setting? I just got this camera a week ago but my pictures keep coming out either extremely dark or extremely light & idk how to fix it that :/

    • @erwnalejo
      @erwnalejo  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Arianna Bye Hi sorry to hear that! In natural daylight I just use it as it is. Even at times where there’s not enough light I don’t use L. And I just let the flash fire if the camera senses that there’s not enough light.
      In natural daylight, if it is really bright, the brightest spots will become really dark or just black as that’s how the film is. I never use L or D as it renders the development badly and all my shots look better without any of D or L.
      Also, it’s good to know that the film speed is 800 so it’s a faster speed which means do not use it in cases where the light is extremely bright. I shoot mine around sinset or sunrise when there’s enough light still but won’t trigger the flash automatically. Just keep practicing and you’ll eventually get somethng good!!

    Hi! I’m not sure which instant film cam to buy, at first I thought about the mini11 as it captures bright backgrounds even in dark scenes, also I don’t need to do any adjustments on it, but I kinda want a bigger film? So I’m wondering if this instax wide 300 does the same? I’m not sure either how to adjust the thing you do with the lens (I don’t know much about cameras 😐). With this said, should I go with the mini 11 or this wide 300? Just lookin for some insights, recommendations as I’m new to these things. 😅

    • @MicahJoyDelRosario
      @MicahJoyDelRosario 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      In my opinion, go with the wide 300, it captures more of you and the background. The only con is that the film costs more than the instax mini’s.

    • @erwnalejo
      @erwnalejo  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi sorry for the super late reply! I am not entirely sure what the mini 11 is but I can say that I enjoy the instax wide 300. I love it since the photos that come of it are larger which I prefer personally. I have used the square and minis before but I just find them a little too small for my taste! Also, you cannot go wrong with the 300! Super love it!
