Cool (or semi-cool) photos taken with really crappy cameras -- got any?

My best friend in high school took this photo of me in 1980 with an Instamatic.



For our younger DUers, this is an Instamatic:

4. Do you have a scanner?

:bounce:

7. Unfortunately, no. I'm moving so I got rid of the printer and scanner :-(

12. Bummer. Hope you can get some new ones

when the move is complete. Good luck!

19. Thanks!! I'm moving back to New England after being on

the west coast for nearly 14 years :bounce:

20. Can't remember the name of this town between Vegas and Barstow

but I remember the sign. Unless it has a twin somewhere ;-)

3. I took this with one of those ten dollar cameras

I keep it in my car's glovebox in case I ever come across something that needs to be photographed. A nice double rainbow taken last year during a sudden heavy downpour...



your picture is very nice, I like the halo effect! Very impressionistic!

5. Holy, crap! That's amazing!

Very cool, Tom Kitten. :bounce:

10. Man, that's something.

Were you just emerging from the Space Room after some Bloody Marys?

9. Like 'em, Mark.

That bottom one sure makes me feel like I'm in SF.

13. Very nice!

8. Great photo, Bertha.

I took this with a cheap disposable.

14. Cool! What mountain range, and what kind of plane?

:bounce:

[swag]

17. That's Mt. St. Helens, in the Cascades.

Not sure what kind of plane. One of those putt-putts that Alaska Air flies between Seattle and Portland at certain hours.

11. Were you playing field hockey?

[bertha katzenengel]

15. Yep. I was the sweeper.

Meaning, I sucked. It was JV, and my first and only year playing. I was a senior. I really loved it, though.

16. These were both taken with cheap disposables

This one at the Grand Canyon in January -



And this one at a beach in Aptos, California -

[bertha katzenengel]

18. Wow. It's really amazing -- hard to mess up what a little

lens and some film can do, isn't it?

21. Been to the Camera Obscura at the Cliff House in SF??

24. Cool! No, I haven't been there, but there's one at the Griffith

Observatory in L.A. I'd like to visit the one in S.F. though.

22. I'm a big fan of this type of photography

I took this with an $18 plastic camera. I took the lens off and used a needle to poke a hole in a piece of aluminum. Pinhole photography!

[bertha katzenengel]

25. That is WAY COOL!

Wow. Thanks for posting it!

23. LOL... Ok... here's an old polaroid when I was 19, I think,

visiting my godfather at his ranch with my Mom... I'm in the middle.
