Any time now the first contributions to the communal pool for World Polaroid Week at flickr will start appearing. I’m not sure how many more of these we will be able to have. If you can, why don’t you join in?
April 26 – well, the week is officially over in the pool (even though I would point out that 5 days is not a week!) I didn’t shoot as many Polaroids as I would have liked due to feeling rather crap at the start of the week, both physical and psychological, but I got more motivated as the week went on. I have just posted a discussion topic in the flickr group posing the week ? 5 days conundrum!

If anyone else can glean some useful hints from it (and can be patient enough to sit through it listening to the rather boring droning on of my voice) then I will be happy!
*Note, this tutorial was originally uploaded to the site on May the 1st 2007, and subsequently ‘lost’ in the great update to WP 2.5 disaster of last week, but with Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day coming up on the 27th of April this year, I thought I would post it as “new” in anticipation that some people who might be interested in this sort of fun may not have seen it and hopefully, find it useful!
