Extra photos for bloggers: 1, 2, 3

Reason #2654 why instant cameras are the coolest thing since sliced artisanal bread: portraits, baby!

Keep these tricks up your sleeve next time you’re photographing your friend/nanna/cat/batman figure to give your portraits a bit of POW!

Embrace instant and give your digital camera a rest, like, this instant.

Learn How To Take Awesome Instant Portraits

WHY IT’S COOL

Your portraits can not only be enjoyed instantly, they’ll have some serious attitude.

IDEA 1: EXPOSE LOOOOOOONGER

Long exposures are really fun to play with. You can paint with light, or capture movement. Or both.

Ask your subject to wave fairy lights in front of their face while keeping the shutter open to capture it all.

IDEA 2: BLUR, YES SIR

For a surreal look, throw out all the rules and set the focus to short distance when photographing from a long distance, or visa versa.

Because sometimes a hint at something is better than the real thing.

IDEA 3: EMBELLISH

Give your portraits a personal touch and another dimension by painting over it with nail polish or glitter glue.

Who says more isn’t more?

IDEA 4: DOUBLE UP

Give your portraits some texture by turning on your camera’s multiple exposure function, and take a photo of a pattern (graffiti, flowers or even wallpaper work really well) before taking a photo of your subject.

This technique takes a lot of experimentation and always give an interesting result!

GRAB YOURSELF AN INSTANT CAM!

Limited Edition Polaroid SX-70

Calling all nostalgia lovers! This guy is the original instant camera, made only up until 1977 and hand restored to perfect condition just for you.

Lomo Instant Camera

Lomography your thang? The Lomo Instant comes with three additional lenses (fisheye, portrait and close up) and gives you a bunch of creative controls including those sexy long exposures, multiple exposures, manual aperture and gel filters for color flash, if you please.

Instax Mini 8 Camera

Ahh simple pleasures. The classic does one thing: take instant photos. And it does it with a smile on it’s little camera face every time. Just load film, point, shoot and collect your credit card sized photo.

Instax 90 Neo Classic Instant Camera

The wiser, more distinguished sibling of the classic Instax Mini Cam, this sexy beast let’s you play with double exposures, long exposures, adjustable shooting modes and wait for it…a self timer. SELF PORTRAITS OMG!

Instax Wide 300

Instax Mini too…mini for you? Go wide! This is your guy if you want all the features of the classic Instax Mini, but think your mug deserves a larger canvas.

TAKING IT FURTHER
- Chances are that you will end up with a couple of dud shots but be sure to hang on to them. Just cut out the photos with a craft knife, leaving only the frame. Now hold it in front of your subject’s face for a meta touch.
- Or what about putting an actual instant photo within another? Then again and again. How deep can you go?
- Turn your camera upside down or tilt diagonally, get down low or shoot from right above.

Instant Monster Truck: Converting Cars into Snowmobiles

[ By Steph in Technology & Vehicles & Mods. ]

Anyone who has driven in heavy snow has witnessed an overconfident driver in a 4×4 go whizzing down the icy street only to fishtail or veer off into a ditch. Four wheel drive may not turn vehicles into magical snow beasts that can handle the worst of winter conditions, but these will: the Track N Go system, a series of treads that installs in just fifteen minutes to basically turn an ordinary vehicle into a monster truck.

While monster trucks may seem ridiculous when seen on the streets in summertime, watching them tackle four-foot snow banks without a hitch might give some of us a twinge of envy when we’re sliding along at ten miles an hour after the latest blizzard. The Track N Go system is a series of four treads that lock onto a vehicle’s wheels to provide traction that tires can’t match.

There’s a catch: you can’t exactly install these things on your Toyota Camry. They’re for 4x4s only, and they’ll set you back $ 25,000. But being that smug driver going where other vehicles can’t, and actually knowing that your car can handle it, might just be priceless.

Of course, there have already been some Southerners perking up asking, do they work in mud? The answer is ‘maybe’ – they were developed specifically for snow, and mud trials haven’t started yet.

Play it again: NFL fans get 360-degree instant replay

The instant replay isn’t new. In fact, it can be argued that it’s the very reason why watching Football is America’s favorite Sunday night living room pastime. The implementation of 12 cameras in each end zone brings something new to your big screen TV this NFL season – a 360-degree instant replay. Starting with the September 8th Dallas Cowboys home game, fans watching the action on NBC’s Sunday Night Football will see an all-around view of controversial plays in each end zone.

Make prints from your phone: Impossible Instant Lab closer to reality

Back in 2008 the Impossible Project took on the task of reproducing Polaroid instant film. Since then, their product line has expanded to include the Impossible Instant Lab. Similar to the analogue Daylab that Polaroid (and Fuji instant film) fans use(d) to create instant prints from 35mm and 120 film, transparencies, snapshot prints and 3D objects, the Instant Lab operates in much the same way using onscreen images from your iPhone as the source.
