A short trip to Zagreb (Croatia) during winter
Once again, shooting Polaroid film
reminded me how crucial all surrounding conditions are, especially when
working outdoors in near-freezing temperatures. On the first day, I took
several photos in heavy fog, with no sunlight at all, and in the cold. I
made the mistake of not placing the photos somewhere warm immediately
after shooting. As a result, they developed with strong blue and
greenish tones (photo 1 and 2). As soon as I started keeping the photos
under my sweater, directly against my skin, the colors returned and
looked exactly as expected.
My advice is this: after taking the picture, wait about five seconds before removing it from the frog tongue, then immediately place it under your sweater and keep it there for at least ten minutes.
