Apple Picking Fun with Fujifilm Instax & Giveaway

My family's very favorite early fall tradition is our annual trip to pick apples on a farm in Vermont. The beautiful mountain and Lake Champlain views, together with fresh and delicious crisp apples make for a great day. It is also a great opportunity to take pictures. This year, I used some of the pictures taken with a Fujifilm INSTAX mini 70 camera to create an apple picking themed mantel display in our living room. We are having so much fun with the Fujifilm INSTAX camera. I just love the retro feel of this camera. Even more importantly, I appreciate that I immediately have prints to use in my home decor and for crafts.

The Fujifilm INSTAX camera provides instant photos anytime anywhere. It is easy to carry everywhere, which is a great advantage to me. I find that always toting around my bulky and expensive DSLR camera to be cumbersome when we are enjoying an activity like apple picking. The INSTAX is a good size to fit in a purse of small tote bag. Fujifilm INSTAX makes it easy to capture the perfect photo every time.

The INSTAX Mini 70 is Fujifilm's newest addition to their line of instant cameras. It includes an updated camera design, improved picture quality, especially in dark scenes, new selfie mode with selfie mirror and a tripod socket. My son had a blast using the selfie feature. I think it is so cool that this timely feature has been added.

I appreciate having prints to use immediately. So many of my photos end up stuck in digital form forever. The INSTAX makes it easier to have photos ready to display around my home. For this display, I simply tied twine onto the ends of a piece of driftwood that we brought home from the beach this summer. Then I used small clothespins (available at craft stores) to hang the pictures. I will be able to change up the look with the seasons easily.

We even had fun adding some captions to the bottom of the pictures. This display has been an interesting focal point for our guests too.
