    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
    @anothernovelty Před 3 lety +50

    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
      @atroche1978 Před 3 lety +3

      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.

    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.

  • @HEYitsTRAV
    @HEYitsTRAV Před 3 lety +7

    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.

  • @bwc1976
    @bwc1976 Před 2 lety +3

    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.

    I bought a Fuji disposable camera recently after looking at a bunch of my old photos that I had recovered from my basement after it was flooded due to Hurricane Ida and well, I want to go back out and shoot like they did back in the 90s. This video is giving me the strong encouragement to do so.

  • @tedportnay4086
    @tedportnay4086 Před 2 lety +3

    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!

    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.

  • @dot_frost
    @dot_frost Před 3 lety +2

    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

Because if you aren't retouching it, men you're killing it, well even if ou retouching them you've got an awesome spontaneous composition ! i am in France but my dream it's to come in US (or China but their politics don't really fit with mine) to make photography but between the COVID, my personnal problems, and the financial part, because i didn't sell any of my work, i have no money income so going to the US, in a big city in addition to that it can't even be a thinking, it's dead i will never go to US to do any sort of art.. Yet i'm drawing, painting, making cloths, doing different type of collage, doing street collage too, i'm doing different type of visual artwork, but but nobody is interested by it, so i'm selling nothing, and with my personnal handicap didn't to it.. i can't work for the moment, i say all of that because i would like so much to live by my work like you and i'm throwing a stone the see in the hope that someone maybe would be interested to helping me, cordially and with all my heart, you're really talented, continue to do what you're doing !
