FAQ & Cool Stuff




Our rules are basic, since we're here to simply enjoy Polaroid works,
exchange ideas and tips with all the members and even take your Polaroid photographs to a probable whole new level through our promotion !



:target: Submitting "fake" polaroids
:target:

:bulletblack: The main idea of this group is only to accept real polaroids,
showcasing your works to everyone in interest to this type of photography.
So, we DO NOT ACCEPT "fake" polaroids in respect to the members of the group
who really work with this medium.

If one of the Admins have a doubt about your work, we will ask and await a reply
if you do not answer, we'll assume that it's not a real polaroid thus we won't accept it.

Hope you do understand this.



:target: NEW RULE (please READ IT) :target:

:bulletblack: People STILL upload "fake" polaroids so, for us to have a better control of that, you need to put on the description of your photo, or you need to tell us when you submit, the model of the camera/film type.
Please, this is important. We really thought that people would read and respect the basic rules we established.

If no description is written and the work is of an unclear source of simulated through PS.
Having our doubts we will possibly deny it.

:: NOTE ::

Not all Polaroids are being accepted since all your suggestions undergo the voting process.
The outcome of the voting process is justified by a non biased approach where all admins get to select the very best.
Knowing that each one of us has his own standards, diversity of opinion is our main interest and goal so to attract more Polaroid Lovers.
If any of you desire to complain pleases send a note.

:bulletblack: Who can join the group:

:bulletorange: EVERYONE All those who appreciate polaroids.
You don't need to have polaroids, or submit, to join the group as a member!
You may join us to support the cause and the artists.



:bulletblack: What to submit:

:bulletorange: REAL Polaroid pictures.



:bulletblack: What to suggest for favorite:

:bulletorange: Polaroid pictures (ONLY).



:bulletblack: How to submit:

:bulletorange: On the top of the page you can see "contribute art" > click;
:bulletorange: Choose the very best from your gallery so to submit it
:bulletorange: Click ok.

Do the same thing to suggest a favorite, just need to change the button "contribute art" to "suggest fav".

Note there's a "submit this work" under each artwork you come across on this platform.
It may be easier for you to contribute to our main Gallery or even Faves.



NOTE

:bulletgreen: If you're a member, try to put us anywhere on your page

Please send us any bug. Thank you for stopping by.
We're requesting any of you to join the team of contributors.

As we once asked...

"Your role will consist of detecting real from fake polas; that without the need to count the various ways to generate ones.
The main attraction is though, voting on deviations so to be accepted/refused to the main Gallery or other folders, discussing group matter and even replying to the notes sent to the group for information on any Polaroid material/or other subjects.

For those who are interested, please leave a message under this post detailing your experience with Polaroid material, if any, or simply presenting your passionate sense of contribution and support for those who use Polaroid related material.

On behalf of all the present team we thank you for showing any interest in this request."

Best wishes to all,

Hello, I'm thinking of getting a Polaroid Camera for christmas but I'm not sure what model I should get,

I don't have a huge budget and I also live in Australia so I'm most likely going to order it online.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. ^^

Hello. I was wondering what's wrong with the picture I submitted. I followed the rules and it has the camera and film description. It is a real polaroid taken with an SX-70.
