When was the last time you used a disposable camera?

Question

My friends and I decided to get one for a festival, the pictures are just 🤌 I love the way they look!

Ugh. Those pictures are AWFUL. You can tell it was a plastic lens, and a very small one at that. The colors are terrible and it was clearly 100 speed film.

I guess I understand that you're attracted to the fact that it looks DIFFERENT, but what's different is that it's LOUSY quality. It's what many of us used to have to live with back in the day - I have boxes of pictures that look like this - but we can do so much better today.

Hell, we could do a lot better in the 90s. I eventually bought a nearly fully-automatic 35mm with a high-quality glass lens that was only about $150. It was still a point-and-shoot, no zoom or anything, but quality-wise, it was miles above this. If used within its limitations, it was actually impressive - but it was definitely limited to snapshots.

It's been a little while. One of my friends had disposable cameras on every table at her wedding reception. A big mistake. One of a few that evening. First, she put us at Table 6, and there was a little sign stand on each table with the corresponding numbers. So of course as soon as we noticed this, we immediately went over to Table 9 (luckily for us, filled with boring people) and asked them for their number sign. We were Table 69 the rest of the night. As for the disposable camera? Crazy poses, moonings, and crotch pictures. I should add that we weren't in our 20s when this happened. This was only about 5 years ago. 😂😂

PI don't recall. Most likely I was a small child last time I used a disposable camera.

Those are what I use when going away or to events. They’re just perfect

OMG. I remember when they first came out. All the rage. Quickly replaced by those tiny digi camcorders, which were then replaced by phones. Last time I had a disposable? Maybe like 1993, I think. But the real question is did you ever use a Polaroid Instant? Used those like a mad man in the 80s and then up until like 1991.

A couple years back, some friends and me went to lakes and also to Scotland, we had 2 of them, took loads of pics. Then the lad who was tasked with getting them developed had his car broken into and the bag they were in taken. We like to think someone swiped them, got them developed and wondered what a group of guys were doing swimming in rivers n lochs lol. We know we had a lot of fireside drinking shots and other random stuff, lol feeling nostalgic thinking about it.

I've still got mine from last Christmas break. I haven't had the photos developed yet but there's a bunch of goodies on there. I got one before the start of the 2 week holidays and limited myself to only taking 2 photos per day, trying to capture the best moments each time. Can't wait to see the results!

Probably on a helicopter flight over New York 6 months after 9 11. Buying a disposable camera from the ground crew was the only way you could take any photos due to the heightened security at that time

Last December, disposable cameras were provided on the tables in the reception of the last wedding we attended.

msc545 · Answer

I think the last time I used one was probably when I was about 8 years old. I also don't remember ever seeing any prints as a result of that effort.

nawtee_me · Answer

It looks like you all had a good time there. I like the look of the pics too. They are almost 60ish or 70ish…
