12 Months on Film: June Beach Days on the Instax Wide

I started June in California and ended it in North Carolina. In between, I started a lot of rolls of film, but I didnโ€™t finish any other than packs of instant. I was a little more concerned with catching waves than capturing waves during our trip to the Outer Banks this summer ๐Ÿ˜

Here are a few things I noticed this month:

  • I love the wide format, but getting straight horizon lines is even more challenging with the wide format. And you canโ€™t straighten a photo in post that has a frame around it.

  • Donโ€™t rush the scans. I scanned these quickly using an app on my photo and then left them sitting on my desk at the surf shack. When I got back to the west coast, I realized Iโ€™d botched the scans. Iโ€™ll have to redo them in the fall with more attention to the edges.

  • Instax film pairs perfectly with blue and red!
