So this is Polaroid Blue film. Its packfilm (or peelapart, depending on which school of thought you are) meaning that its not like the integral stuff people are used to with the Polaroid name. You have to take the shot, pull the film out, leave it for some time and them peel the positive from the negative, and it is awesome fun to use.
Even more fun when it is like the Blue film. You see, the blue film is meant to be monochromatic film, but you will notice that within the blue colour cast you can see hints of greens, browns and reds.
Take the sunset shot above. That was taken looking towards the breakwater in Bude, Cornwall. As soon as I saw what the film did, I knew I wanted to capture a sunset with it. It came out exactly as I wanted it to.
I've also noticed that the hints of other colours come through more if you leave the film longer between taking it out and peeling it. Of course, that means richer blues if you peel it quickly. Sometimes you cant help but peel it right away; other times there is no way you can peel it (out on Bodmin Moor for example) so you have to leave it until you get home. its part of the charm of the film.
