BUZZZ...that's the sound of beautiful technicolor neon, which our Polaroid cameras simply crave. However, shooting these bright beasts necessitates some unique techniques and to take us through the expertise is none other than Bret Watkins AKA @IntoThePolaroid. It was an honor to have Bret on the show and I know you'll see him again soon!

Great vid, what a collab! Can we talk more about shooting through filters and what not? Watching this, I get a itch in the back of my brain, probably something from top model of ye old, about shooting from half smudged glass to get more light in frame, filling out the dark parts. If you know what I'm talking about, please hit us up with your juicey knowledge :)

Oh, and I'll be looking forward to buying the finished book ofc! #bigforbusiness -wo a doubt!

What an interesting video, love the guest stars! I always loved the look of neon on polaroid. Keep up the great work, Benny Bags and friends!

Honestly my biggest takeaway is the idea of "Are you $20 beautiful or $2 beautiful", it's a good way to look into both making sure you don't go overboard and spend all your exposures on one subject but ALSO giving yourself that latitude to live a little and not horde your precious shots. Set a budget for the subject so you already know you're going to do multiple shots and you stop being hesitant about taking another shot.

This dude is pretentious in the most gorgeous way possible. And I really mean that as a sincere compliment from the countercultured perspective. So much lovely advice has come from this 7 minute video that I will keep with me for the rest of my life. I came here for Neon sx70 tips, I now leave with the quintessential question for any upcoming photoshoot : is the shot 2 dollars beautiful or is it 20 dollars beautiful?

Okay, this was awesome. Bret is great on camera, and this is an awesome guide. The sunset shot in the thumbnail has an amazing mood, and it's kinda crazy how the best composed shot IMO is the one on the camera he didn't know how to shoot.

I just started shooting instant film and I have become absolutely obsessed! Seeing your videos just feeds my love for photography even more and I've fallen involve with the beauty of trial and error and never knowing exactly what you're going to get!

Damn Ben ! I love this new series ! It's HUDGE for pretty much any businesses ! I'm looking forward for the next ones as I just shoot my first pack of 600 on my sweet slr680 last weekend. You both are pure inspiration. Shoutout to Bret and his freaking craft !

What a great guest who so well embodies what make this channel an unmitigated joy. Bret has that same neat mix of information and enthusiasm that’s so uplifting. And we live at a time when anything that lifts you is a priceless gem. Whenever I open YouTube and see a new video waiting it makes for an instant smile and then watching makes my day that bit brighter.

Here’s for the day when the two of you can be in the same room/place making another episode.

Very cool video! How do you set the light compensation dial for neon shots on the SX-70? Do you dial it for more exposure? Mine is not 600 modified so a tripod is a must. thanks! @myeyesmypolaroid
