First Set of Polaroid Flip Portraits

My husband and I enjoy going on dates where we take time to photograph each other. We spent the day after our civil ceremony hanging out and taking pics. We went to two different local parks and shot away. All photos were taken on manual settings with the Polaroid App. For those who may not know, the Flip is not an SLR but has a parallax error, which is going to take a while to get used to. I notice it isn't as extreme when a subject is head on, but I do like to do interesting angles. My previous Polaroid models didn't have a tripod mount, so I am very excited that it comes default on the Polaroid Flip, it's saving my back and making my photos look oh-so crisp.

Another point to note, my first Flip was faulty in some way. It was overexposing photos on auto, including blinding people with a high powered flash. But I also realize as I have been shooting more (including plenty without the tripod), that some of the lenses have a small focal range, so it's easy to lean your body slightly out of range after doing a half-press to focus. I shot all of these on manual mode with a tape measure, on a tripod, and pressed the shutter button on the phone instead of the camera. Some have auto flash while the power on others has been selected by me (this is going to be another learning curve). The blue frame photos sometimes have issues with scanning. The blue frame pic is darker/blacker in real life.
