Hello everyone !!!....so this is my very first blog and I'm really happy.I'm still trying to figure out what I'm doing and what I want for this blog but hopefully I will make more blogs and share fun stuff in here.Anyways,enjoy ... :)
I love taking pictures,I take pictures of everything and anything to be honest.Over a year ago or so I bought a disposable camera and since then I have bought more because they are so much fun.I remember when I was little my mom having one and me playing with it.I really like them and I have taken some pretty cool pictures with them,so I decided to share my experience and love for them in here and talk a little bit about them.
Even though I really enjoy taking pictures with a disposable camera in my opinion they are some positive and negative things about using one.
Let's start with the positive,so now everything is always digital and we take pictures with our phones and cameras all the time, but we never really get them developed to have physical copies so it's nice to just have some pictures that can be physical,unique and sometimes have pretty cool effects.I also love the happiness of getting your pictures back and seeing the pictures you took.It's fun because sometimes I get surprised by the results that I get.Overall they are just really fun to experiment with especially if you like photography.
Now let's move on to the negative, sometimes buying the camera and then getting the pictures developed can be a little expensive,I usually get the camera at Walmart for like $9 dollars but the development can be like $14 dollars at Walgreens.Which can be around more than $20 dollars for the 27 pictures the camera takes.Not a lot of places now develop pictures anymore,which is sad because you don't have a lot of options to go to,the only places I know that develop films are Walgreens,and CVS.Also sometimes it's hard to work with the flash and figuring out how to get the best picture you can.Sometimes I forget to turn the flash on or something goes wrong and the picture turns out bad or just completely black which is sad because of course you can't take the picture again.
I usually take the camera on adventures with my friends or when I'm doing something fun that I would want a unique picture of.Overall, I really like them and I would continue to use them.If you decide to use one just have fun with it and be creative.
Here are some of the pictures I have taken with my disposable camera ....

MAKING YOUR PICTURES MORE INTERESTING
There are also some pretty cool ways to mess with your camera to get different and interesting pictures.For example,smacking the camera to get extra exposures,damaging the lens or the film to make a cool effect on them,or making a lens filter there's a lot of ideas online that you can try or just get creative. I decided to make a filter for my lens to see what happened. Basically you can DIY the lens to make your pictures different colors. All you need is clear tape and a marker with the color of your preference.First you stick a small piece of tape in the lens then you color it in with the marker. Or if you want, you can color directly into the lens, but if you want to use multiple colors you should just use the tape.(see the pictures down below to understand better).
These are the results I got using blue and yellow markers,I love the way they turned out and I'm definitely trying it with more pictures next time.

What do you think ? Would you use a disposable camera and try the lens filter ?
Until next time xoxo-Z
