WTF Images of the Day Go Fourth!

[Dartz]

Film? And there's a shop who can develop it? I have not seen a film camera since a decade ago. Good photos though.

Edit: Second photo: Who was giving the finger?

Here's one. 42 years old(1972, IRC). Still works like clockwork. Which is amazing considering shutterspeed and aperture are all electrically controlled. There's circuitry in there to trigger a flash too, but finding a compatible flash is a bitch - it'll kill the modern digital ones.


It's not uncommon enough to not be worth maintaining the equipment. A lot of weddings will still give out the single-use disposable cameras to guests in order to make sure there's a good stock of permanent photographs available. Not cheap though - but interesting in a weird way still. It's oddly timeless and feels a thousand times more permanent than anything taken on my droidphone. Even if it's just because it's a 4 decade old piece of electronics that still works as good as day one.

The only thing that went wrong was the digital scanner when it was being developed - the negatives are pristine.

I'm not a photographer as such, but I still like taking it out and getting it to do something - even if it's a little inane. It'd be a shame to leave it sitting on the shelf.

EDIT: Hadn't noticed that. Just some guy with a Galaxy phone. who liked to stick it in my way at every opportunity.
