Polaroids from the summer

This one is actually interesting, because when I first took it it was completely under exposed. About 3 months later, this is what it looked like.

The idea of makeing these pictures was a good idea, but many of them seemed very blury to me.

I know, it's a Polaroid camera and there really is no way to prevent that with the one I have. I kind of like the effect it gives though...

Polaroid? Is that the one that prints out instantly? I wanna get one someday! :D
So, these pictures are all focused on the lens itself it seems, since I can see specks very clearly. It doesn't hurt to be a little blurry for the effect you've got, but the extent to which your camera is dis-focusing is crazy. See if you can't get it a little clearer.
Also, did you set these to be sepia or was that an edit? Just wondering.
Excellent work here, but the blurry, un-focused look, despite being very nostalgic and old-looking, just doesn't cut it for me. For me. Others may love this, so I need to be careful with my review. :D
Anyways, Jenth out.

*I want a Polaroid. :P*

The blur does add a nice unifying theme to all the pictures, but in some of the, it's a bit extreme and detracts from the image. If you have an image editing program, like GIMP, which is free, you can fix some of this by using the sharpening filters and such to make the images a bit crisper.

The nostalgic old-look is nice and all, but with how all the pictures had that same feel due to the blur, it got a bit boring. A bit more variety would make these photos a bit more exciting.
