Hey Guy's
I recently just purchased a polaroid camera and some film for it, and am super excited. Before I get into shooting with it, I was wondering if anyone has any experience with polaroid, and how it reacts with shooting in the cold? Any advice on making cool images/designs with your film? Thanks a lot. Peace.

I'm pretty sure that your film will tell you the development time for certain temperatures. I could be wrong though, I don't have much experience shooting it.

Also, I assume you already know what this is but if you don't, check it out http://the-impossible-project.com/

Yeah, the impossible project is sweet. It's were I got my film from. The film just recommends shooting in temperatures between 5 degrees Celsius and 25 degrees Celsius, and I was interested in shooting skiing with it, and wasn't sure if their were any techniques or not for shooting in the cold, or if anyone here had any good tips. Thanks though.

I used Fuji instant film this weekend in the cold and it seemed to work alright. Just take the photo and put it in a warm pocket for a while to develop, otherwise it'll take forever.
