This is part one of two posts I’m going to do on my instant photos from the Inaugural weekend. I took my Lomo’Instant Automat Jardin camera to the Wasington DC without much of a plan – basically just wanting to take photos with something other than my Nikon DSLR’s.
Once I got there I realized that the camera was a fantastic way of breaking the ice for interviews and getting shots that were a bit more out of the standard grip and grin. As much as I could I gave each person I was taking a shot of a copy of the polaroid… well I guess it’s not actually a polaroid but the Lomo’Instant shot. I was using fuji instax film for all the shots – I bought a box of 60 for around $37 on Amazon.
As you can tell, I’ve got a lot to lean with the Lomo Automat which has a lot more functionality than most instant cameras. Often the flash over exposed, and with no light meter it was always tough to figure out a decent exposure. There’s also a bunch of add ons that I might consider picking up for the camera available from Lomography, but more on that another day.
