Right now, I feel particularly busy due to the end of the school year, my recent hospital visit and the World Cup. I am writing this just after England narrowly beat DR Congo. Jeez, the team likes to make us sweat. Anyway, all that means I haven’t prepared any new camera posts. However, I do have some photos I never got around to putting online.
These selections are from an expired disposable camera I received for Xmas and the Flashback digital disposable. I took the former on a walk around Wakefield and then on a quick trip to London.

I got a lovely selection of stuff last year, the disposable is in the bottom left. Despite being out of date, the flash worked, and the film still held lots of colour.

























I like the results from the disposable’s 400asa film. I will never buy a disposable camera, but receiving one as a gift was fun. After I returned my test Flashback to the rightful owner, I was lucky enough to receive my own example. I took it on a recent trip to Stratford-upon-Avon. It was the first time I had ever been there, which is surprising given its historical importance.
Here are a few examples from the two different ‘films’ I finished.
























I found the Flashback was great for general use, but I really missed a zoom at times, or even a more accurate viewfinder. Saying that, you can always crop in post-production.
Well, I’d better get ready to watch the next match and prepare for a one am start for England’s next match.
I bought a disposable camera years back, just to try out the panoramic effect. The pictures were OK, but I never bought another one.
My attitude is “why buy dispos when I can stick half a dozen films in the same area?”
Me too, so wasteful. But using ones that are expired, well might as well.
Congratulations on England’s standing in the World Cup. Can you believe that the US team is still in the running … this in a nation that professes to not care about football unless it’s the NFL variant.
Home nations always do well, so it isn’t a surprise really. The next match will be very tough for that reason and the change in altitude.
