Love the video! Fun fact with the ‘disposable’ cameras is that they’re usually returned to Kodak/Fujifilm. They pop in a new battery, film roll and sell the camera again.

Some really nice shots! The camera is 30mm, f10 at 1/100s and ISO800. Fixed focus. There's nothing automatic going on, just the latitude of the film.

I loved the shot with the man in the suit checking his watch. It had a very nostalgic 90s NYC street photography feel. A lot of your photos did. If just goes to show it's not about the camera you use, but the photographer. ❤️

@anothernovelty 3 жыл бұрын

Wow, so many memories! That sound too! As a 90s kid, these were always a go-to for shows and parties because it wasn't so bad if you lost them. They were also a mainstay for many wedding tables because you could get some truly random and funny shots taken by the guests. Fun video and some really nice shots!

@atroche1978 3 жыл бұрын

So true! I've got a ton of printed images I made on these over 25 years ago in an album and they are actually of pretty impressive quality. And I too remember seeing these on tables at weddings. Fun times.

@james.barnes 2 ай бұрын

BRO! When you snapped that photo at 6:30 I just paused the video and my jaw dropped, this is my favourite type of photography when the moment captured truly tells story and immerses you inside it! Great snap man, these disposable cameras are next level!!!

We used to carefully pry these apart and send a sack (think large postal sack) full of these off for recycling. In the early 2000s we probably sold and processed hundreds of these in the Summer, in a small shop in a small town in the UK. Eventually (by 2007), we ended up giving really simple 35mm cameras out at a camparable price, including a film and battery, to spare using the 'disposable' models.

I have a couple disposable-like cameras. I have the Ilford Sprite 35-II, and another similar one from Lomography. They are reloadable cameras, but give you that simple point and shoot/disposable feel. The benefit is that you can load some decent film in them and get surprisingly good stuff. I use them both all the time.

Very cool project! They do make cameras now (Lomography Simple Use, Ilford Sprite 35 II) that are essentially a reloadable version of a disposable, I'm thinking of picking up one myself so I can keep one in the car or carry one with me without worrying about being out a bunch of money if it gets stolen or damaged.

The shots turned out great man. If you want to be a little more stealthy then remove the covering from the camera. My friend did this to document a work trip we all had together and the photos turned out pretty spectacular and he just was able to pocket it with him all the time and use it when the time was right and got some sick snaps.

Well done Amazing what you can do with minimal resources. I’m a newbie Street Photographer and watching your POV videos continues to teach me lessons in composition, timing and lighting. One thing that would be cool is to show the unedited and then edited photo based on the POV. This would be very instructive as I try to learn how and when to take photos and what can be done with the photo with editing. Keep it up!!!!! Also - the link to your “favorite camera strap” is not working. I’m in the market for a thin/lightweight strap to use with my Fuji XT30 Keep up the great work

Street photography interests me, sadly the largest city closest to me is Detroit, and I don't go there enough to be able to do this. But man, it's just so great, all of these small moments frozen in time. Somebody stopping for a rest on a hot day, or somebody else feeding the birds. Outwards looking in, this means nothing, but when you consider the story that each person has to tell as to how they go there, it gets much more interesting all of a sudden.

Yes I've shot with disposable cameras many times. However I would often by them second hand and they often would be expired with half a roll of film on them. While I thought that maybe I'd find some great shots from the previous owner of the camera, most of the time it was someone's birthday party or holiday get together with their family. But it is fun to shoot with them though for me. I usually only pay a few dollars for them, at the most 4 dollars. Cool video!

@zsilver650 Жыл бұрын

Michael Ernest Sweet was the OG with the disposable camera. He was doing this stuff way back!! He always used disposable on the street because there was no shutter lag. He has a book of disposable street photos its called "Disposable". I think it is out of print now but I have a copy. It's quite good.

this is interesting. for me these kinds of cameras are the only way i can shoot film when travelling abroad. since i live in a country that has little to no one shooting film, cameras and film here are stupidly expensive so I dont own a film camera. when i travel tho, I usually buy one of these for each of the people that are with me and get them developed just before I leave. it's always super fun and we get great photos that would look disposable if taken with phones (see what i did there?), and even prints that can be used as souvenirs . so yeah, for me it's the most affordable way to shoot film

i work at a clothing store and for whatever reason we got one of these in a shipment box of clothes, so I bought it for $7! what a bargain. I have bought like 5 in the past month because they're so harmless when just hanging out with friends and saving memories, compared to my 35mm rangefinder or slr. I loved how your photos turned out, a lot of them were indistinguishable from a glass lensed' camera in my opinion. Great stuff :) of course still no replacement for high quality cameras but certainly a fun gimmick to just point and shoot some photos
