Ravine Gardens State Park

This was the first photo I took with the Now + and the flash was on. I knew the sun was going to be tricky today with a mix of shadows and highlights from the sun. I really liked this sign, so I had to take it, picture that is! The flash being closer up was too much.

After I saw the outcome of the first picture of the sign from mid morning, I had to take it again without the flash in the mid afternoon. I definitely like this one better, but highlights are very washed out to help preserve the shadows. Over-all I think it worked well for this image.

While walking along the little ravine stream, I saw this tree that looked it it got struck by lightning and looked very interesting as a subject. I wanted to test the camera shooting in the sky with the sun right on the top part of the tree. The sky turned out well and the shadows were again preserved well with the highlights completely blown out.

I did the same thing with this tree as I did with the sign from above. Took this mid afternoon shooting more into the sun higher in the sky as before. You can see here that the difference is significant with the shadows more crushed but the sky seems to be blown out as well. I know shooting more in the direction of the sun is not ideal shooting instant film, but hey, wanted to see how this camera was able to meter.

Here are one of many stone pathway steps leading to other trails and some suspension bridges

Walking through a arch bridge over the little ravine. Having all three of my children looking over the bridge. You can see the hard shadows and highlights are still pretty blown out. Sun was a little higher and coming from more of the side. I am fairly happy with this

Well, I tried to get a little closer to get a trio of not quite budded azalea flowers. Forgot of the minimum focus distance of this camera, or it may have missed focus and hit the firms instead of the flower that was in the middle of the frame. Flower was also blower put, probably because it metered off the focus point of the ferns.

Added this dark slide from changing to another film pack, thought it relevant while hiking off the beaten path.

This photo I really like how it turned out overall. This is a picture of my 12 year old son taking a picture with his newly acquired Polaroid one step from 1978. Trying to teach him a few things. Again we see the highlights are overblown but the shadows seemed to be retained pretty well. I know instant film has very little dynamic range.

This photo was of one of the suspension bridges to walk across. This scene was more shady with a little light coming through. It did not seem to handle this very well with blown out highlights again.
