Polaroid I-2 camera: a tactile pursuit of craft. Shop now
Our recommendations
At its heart, photography is about capturing light. Playing with natural light will make sure you get the best out of the Polaroid I-2 camera for striking results. Read on to find out how.
1. SUNNY DAY
If you're shooting on a sunny day the camera in Auto mode will do all the hard work for you. Just point the camera towards your subject, frame using the viewfinder, half-press the shutter button to lock the exposure and fully press the shutter button to take your photo.
2. LOW LIGHT
In a low light environment or during golden hour (just after sunrise or before sunset) or blue hour (twilight when the sun is below the horizon), you might see the hand symbol in the viewfinder to tell you there's not enough light and your photo might be blurry. Get your camera on a tripod or a steady surface for a sharper image.
3. BACKLIT DRAMA
Experiment with the light coming from behind your subject putting them in shadow. Or for more control, select Manual mode and play with the settings to find the correct exposure for the effect you want.
4. BREAK THE RULES
The classic approach – a well-lit subject – is to have the light source (like a window) facing your subject or coming from the side. But the more you move around your subject, the better you can understand what the light does and how to break the rules!
