Lomography Spinner 360 Review
The Spinner 360 is one of the newest creations of Lomography. Its uniqueness lies in being able to take 360 degree panoramas, which is normally possible only by joiningseveral shots via software.

The problem can also occur suddenly after shooting few pictures. However, looking around the internet I […]
Maurizio Galimberti emulation
Among the photographers who use Polaroid films the most famous is Maurizio Galimberti. His portraits are amazing and you can admire them on his website.

The camera used is a Polaroid of Image type (also known as Spectra or Onyx). There are several models of varying complexity. For this experiment I used a Polaroid Image 2, which is probably the worst models of […]
Light shield for Impossible film
Everybody knows that the first stocks of Polaroid-compatible film produced by Impossible Project suffers from an annoying problem: when the camera eject them they are still too sensitive to light and therefore there’s the risk of ruining them. There are many methods to reduce the problem but I think the one published by consommable and then described in detail by Vinz (here’s the post translated into English) on the forum of the French site Polaroid Passion is the most practical and so I decided to try it with a very small variation.
