These photos were taken on a disposable camera which expired in 1996, which I picked up at a recycling store. I wondered what the photos would look like… and here they are. Unforuntealy, something happend to the take up mechanism and half the photos didn’t seem to come through.

Camera: I’ll update this when I find out what it was.

I guess we’ve noticed the degredation of the film and perhaps it also relfects the state that the item was stored in. Some of the images looked dirty as we’ll see more of later. This was taken during the late afternoon with sunset approaching, but a lot of the detail gets left out here.

You can see that it only really affects the areas with lower light as this shot with the subject directly facing the direction of the sun seems well lit. The colours have a purple tinge to it.

This was one of the dirtier photos, it was an overcast day for this one so the grass seems a lot darker than it is. You can also notice the vingetting around on the edges in these photos. This is probably due to the lens that was on the camera.

With the track record of this camera in low light, it obviously did not capture a lot of the details. To be fair, that area of the building was quite dark. You can see the fillament of the lightbulbs come through. But I wanted to capture the cool pipes which decorated the ceiling of the cafe.

I believe this was the first shot on the camera. You could see all the dirt that was trapped inside the body from a camera that was in storage in who knows what condition since its manufacturing and expiration and then it being sold to me. 😹
