I've had some health issues in the past month, limiting the amount of shooting I've done. But I felt pretty good today and was watching (another) YouTube on Polaroid shooting and thought, "Hmm, I should shoot another picture or so with the InstaxSQ back on the Hassy..." And so I did:

Sleeping Bears - Santa Clara 2026 :: https://flic.kr/p/2sqvRLm

I took a meter reading and it was a such a long exposure, I figured I was way into the InstaxSQ B&W reciprocity range. So I guessed on the exposure. I only made the one exposure. Overweening optimism, perhaps? LOL! 😀

—
I love working with the Hasselblad cameras, and I love the feel of shooting InstaxSQ when you hit it right. 😉
For those who enjoy such stuff, here's the "making of" shot, nabbed with my iPhone 15 Pro, a few moments after making the above exposure...

Enjoy!

Pleasantly composed photo, but I don't see any bearded husky men in it.

I hope you feel better soon.
