Expired BLUE Polaroids

We never know what to expect when we use expired polaroid film. Often we get warm, subdued tones - very retro! Imagine our surprise when the shots from our trip to Willowcroft Vineyards came out blue! And the TZ Artistic continues to change color over time to the point where we see splotches.

Compare those to these warm tones we typically see when shooting with expired Polaroid 779 film that we poached from an optometrist office in Herndon.



This film has a life of its own and continues to color shift. We have noticed the once blue/green hues turning into an almost burnt orange/magenta color in some of the highlight areas on the photos....very strange....but cool.
