What is Polaroid ? Polaroid is an Instant camera, and  known as a "Polaroid" camera after the company that invented the concept. Yes. It's trully is instant. the moment you snap the picture, that moment you'll get to see the picture. In Malaysia now there are a few type of Instant camera available. Majority all of them are from Fujifilm brand. Like mine, it's Instax Mini 7s. It uses films which are hold in some sort of catridge and only comes out once you snap a picture. There are 10 films inside one catridge. You can buy the films at RM 28-RM 38, depending from where you purchased them ;) I would suggest buying it online is more cheaper. So, each film would roughly cost about RM 2.80. Wow that's a lot of money huh ? Yup. this hobby is quite pricey but since the pictures taken with an instant camera is worth it, why not ?


 Personally I think taking pictures with this type of camera is like freezing the memory of whatever we're trying to preserve at that very moment.Polaroid pictures are very random. sometimes people like to take pictures of random stuffs instead of taking pictures of themselves or other people. That's just the Art of polaroids :) And the more random the picture is, the more beautiful it will look. I like to shoot candids because it will appear so cool. Hihihihi.
The camera is not that expensive either. It only costs about RM268, roughly. So, people have been asking how the picture forms when we do not need to buy any ink catridges, like normal photo printers do ?



Here's the answer. Inside the film, there are some sort of colour behind the white film. Once you snap pictures, it will only be developed and exposed the colour involved and appear it on the film. So you get to see the image that you have just snapped. And that's why it would costs about RM 2.80 each film :) Now it's more than worth it huh ? I only have like 4 films left with me. And that's the only left I've got. I'm gonna buy some but they are out of stock recently -.-' But I'll try again later :)
So my advice, get involve in this polaroid world. Im sure you wont regret owning one ♥
