Polarization Effect with the L'Instant

I love the polarization effect that can be achieved using the close-up lens + flash (and +2 setting) that many people have been getting with the L'Instant camera (thank you @schugger, @alienmeatsack, and @gakurou for the inspiration).

Tada! I have a feeling we'll see a lot more of this trick on Lomography. It's such a perfect "Lomography" kind of thing too, I mean, we are the same people here who purposefully do things to our films and process them oddly to get a certain look. I just hope Fuji doesn't change their forumla and emulsion so this doesn't work anymore. It's a fun look and I always enjoy seeing the "positives" that come from it too. :D

so cool @mafiosa! Lovely album, I definetely need to invert my "negative" shots, the results are amazing!

Wow! very cool. Also like the "vortex" reference (although I'm not so crazy about the actual polar vortex).

I tried this last night and got much more mixed results so the technique is still a little mysterious to me. These are great though, especially Marilyn. :)
