From exposure tips, to ideas that allow you to get better photos overall, there are certainly a handful of tricks to help you get better images in disposable cameras.

I own a dedicated point and shoot camera as well as a traditional slr. I like the point and shoot because I dont have to worry about exposure as long as there is enough light, or focus, (its focus free), all I do is choose my composition.

[@whosjozikolnik]

my case exactly! wouldn't exchange my slr for anything but the point and shoot is truly amazing too

I own 30+ film cameras, but recently purchased a reloadable and reusable “disposable” camera to get that particular aesthetic for a project. You can’t get the same look from a tack sharp “real” camera and there is zero fun in faking it with a digital camera or phone app.

definitely!!

[@baileydetlor6444]

what type of reusable/reloadable camera did you get?

[@LIAISAGREENBEL]

Those photos are all beautiful!

I love these so so much ;-; I dont do social media or otherwise and I really want hard copy photos for photo albums of family or big trips

Thanks for this video. You explain things in simple terms that anyone can understand. I own a 35mm Nikon that I no longer use. I prefer my digital camera. These disposables do have their place as I am not about to hand over my $700 camera or even my smartphone to some stranger to take a picture of me when traveling.

I shot between these and a Minolta Big Finder AF for years. Only in the past two years since inheriting an SLR have I learnt how to actually take pictures. My point being, disposables and P&Ss have their place, but they'll never teach you how to use a camera and get the most out of it.

In the 70s I have used a similar camera produced in GDR (German Democratic Republic), 6x6 B&W film by Orwo. To this day they are the most loved/precious images from my family collection. That camera had only portrait & panorama modes. Unbelievable results.

Huh, never heard of it, but good to know!

I never owned my own camera(other than my phone) till a few years ago when I found my grandpa's old polaroid sun600 camera. I added a new frog tongue and started shooting that quite a bit. My at the time girlfriend(now wife) then brought along a disposable camera for a trip we did. I credit those two devices for getting me into photography in the first place because that led me to seek out a modern digital camera and eventually my own dedicated film cameras (one fixed lens 35mm camera and one medium format camera with a couple lenses). I love how simple disposable cameras are but I prefer the control a manual camera offers. I do want to eventually grab a wider 35mm camera with a working sensor and autofocus

It's the novelty though.

[@Zillagod100]

There is no focusing system on a disposable camera.

[@TiberiuCazacioc]

They are focus free

[@qwertykeyboard5901]

But I like wasting my time with trash picked disposable cameras >:(

[@pe4774]

Which disposable camera do you recommend? :)
