Description Taken on Easter Friday - a very productive evening was had, involving long and multiple exposures on film.
This is Daniel. There was supposed to be a third face on the left, but apparently I can't aim very well in the dark.

Polaroid Colorpack 80 (Onyx) + Polaroid Viva silk film expired in '05 = long exposure with several flashes. Scan from print.
I bought this camera from a flea market for $8. Turns out that the shutter doesn't close until you stop pushing the button, so the camera is effectively on permanent bulb mode. I actually quite like this limitation because I love experimenting with long exposures, so it all worked out well

A huge thank-you goes to =DalaiHarma who donated the film

Thanks
There are 5 more I'm planning to upload at some point.
This was actually meant to be a triple exposure, but as you can see the third head got cut out >.<

Wow, $8? Bargain! I look forward to seeing more with this camera.

Yeah, for $8 I wouldn't really care if it didn't work at all >.<
The annoying thing is that you still need batteries to make the shutter actually open - I went out and bought another pack of film, and then we wasted about 7 shots of it thinking our flash wasn't bright enough or something, because all the shots came out black... turns out the batteries died and the shutter just wasn't opening. Gonna try make those last 3 shots real special...

Yes, that square film is pretty rare and expensive now

Good luck with the last 3 shots
