It was great value - for $25 you got a cocktail, a slider and 2 little workshops. You handed over your phone to get the camera, to be in the moment, so to speak.
The camera had some great video and still combination features for Social Media but we were not the most skilled at following the very basic instructions (and blogger struggles with video for me so I'm not bothering to post those here).
It's a great little camera with an old school look. I did find it interesting, at no point was there the hard sell or even the mention of price. So I can't tell you anything about that.
As Frank Turner says 'It's supposed to be about snapshots, not oil paintings....Remember the moment, be proud that you were there and then move on and find another moment"
The song is NSFW because he swears in the introduction of it but the song and video are fine.
Great photos
ReplyDeleteInteresting workshop! Those quick moments are often the ones that truly matter and capture the heart of things.
ReplyDeleteCool workshop and fun snapshots! I have an old Nikon SLR that I used back in the day when film had to be processed. I do have a Nikon DSLR but haven't used that much since 2019. I keep saying I need to get her out to brush up my photography skill set which isn't anything to brag about but it's a lot of fun. Oh before I forget I owed a Polaroid camera when I was a young girl. My grandparents got it for me for my birthday one year. That was an amazing gift! Your song pick is an introduction, so thanks for sharing and for joining us on the 4M dance floor, Lydia. Have a boogietastic week, m' dear! xo
ReplyDeleteOne of my aunts owned a Polaroid camera back in the early 1960's when I was growing up. Being able to see a picture a couple of minutes after taking it was so exciting back then, but the film was expensive and you had to rub smelly developing chemicals on the picture after it came out of the camera. I liked the song. I probably would have enjoyed the workshop, too.
ReplyDeleteThat workshop sounds wonderful. It reminds me of old polaroids or even slide mounts. And of course, photographing the drinks makes it perfect for T this week, too. Wonderful shots and effects. Nice song, too.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great deal because you got a meal and the classes. I hope you learned a lot, and had fun playing with the Fuji camera. Happy T day.
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool! I love that you had to exchange your phone for the camera. I think we could all stand to do a little more "living in the moment".
ReplyDeleteVery cool special effects. I especially liked the ghostly-looking ones. Ethereal! Perfect song choice for the post as well. ☺
ReplyDeleteYou got some cool shots, i also have a Fuji camera, it's my favourite brand.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun opportunity to experiment with a different camera! (I used to have a similar camera back in the day, it used a roll of film) And the coctail of course is perfect for the T-Party. Cool song too.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a fun time 😊. Thanks for sharing and Happy T Day wishes! Hugs, Jo x
