Daylight - Polaroid SX-70 How-To

DAYLIGHT PICTURES
Your SX-70 viewfinder show? you
just what you will get in your fin-
ished picture. This is a feature
valued by professional photog-
raphers because it allows them to
compose a picture carefully
before pressing the shutter but-
ton. With the SX-70, you can do
the same. Look at the picture in
the viewfinder. Think about what
parts of the scene you want to
include in your picture and what
parts you don't want.
Move in close when possible;
make your subject the main
point of interest.
Keep the background simple.
You can often eliminate distract-
ing elements from a picture by
changing camera angle. Try
shooting down from a high angle,
using the ground as background.
Hold the camera steady unti I the
picture comes out of the exit
slot. This is especially important
when the light is not bright. In
dim light, the camera shutter
stays open longer than in bright
light. Any camera movement
while the shutter is open will
cause a blurred picture . l6
