Disposable Camera shoot

After doing some research into the the Disposable Camera Project, I decided that I wanted to take on this idea for myself. Because I know when using a film camera the quality and style of image can change dramatically and create variation. What I did like about using the disposable camera was that there is only one setting so I didn’t have to worry about the camera, so I could focus on what I was taking images of. However because you are not able to look back you can end up take photos of the same things twice, which is a problem because you have a limit of 30 shots before the camera runs out.

What I found when I got back the camera was that many of the images that I had taken were out of focus and not any good really, and overall the quality of the images from this shoot are nowhere close to what you would achieve on a regular digital camera. And shooting on film camera is very expensive the camera cost me about six pounds and then to get the images developed cost my about seven pounds so for how much the process cost I don’t think that it is worth it.

Below are the 14 images that I got back from the camera that could be useful for the project, the rest of the images in the project where to out of focus and not up to the standard of anything that I would want to use. I wanted to do this project to see the variation and difference that using a a film camera would crete over a regular camera. But looking back at these images now due to the quality and the lack of control there is when taking the images I not think that I will use any type of film camera in this project.
