chevysoldier Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 A Kansas boy who bought an old Polaroid camera at a garage sale brought home a special gift for his grandma: Inside was an image of her son, who was killed in a car crash 23 years ago. http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/05/26/11899578-boy-buys-garage-sale-camera-holding-photo-of-grandmas-dead-son?lite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmh_sprint Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 I call BS. Polaroids film was in a case and was ejected from the case once the photo was taken. The picture only developed fully if the picture was lightly shaken after it was ejected. It would have never developed in the camera because the chemical pouch would not have been activated to develop the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The picture only developed fully if the picture was lightly shaken after it was ejected. It would have never developed in the camera because the chemical pouch would not have been activated to develop the picture.you weren't supposed to shake the picture. you've been miss-informed. the picture is fully developed when you take it. but when the film is ejected from the camera it presses the layers of the film together to activate the chemical reaction that allows you to see the picture.One of the coolest things about instant photography, watching the image slowly come together, is caused by this final chemical reaction. The image is already fully developed underneath, but the opacifiers clearing up creates the illusion that it is forming right before your eyeshttp://science.howstuffworks.com/innovation/everyday-innovations/instant-film1.htmpolaroid says not to shake it,http://www.cnn.com/2004/TECH/ptech/02/17/polaroid.warns.reut/index.html Edited May 27, 2012 by serpentracer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conn-e-rot Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 If you shake it more than twice you're playing with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
