santa gave my girls some really cool disposable film cameras last christmas. they have 24 exposures & when developed have a selection of vintage style frames printed on the images {how great is santa?!!} they have been saving the whole experience for a time when we can think about what to capture on the film. it has been interesting to see how they process the concept. yesterday miss 7 finished her roll of film. i explained that we need to now find somewhere to give the camera to so that the film inside can be put through a machine & then we can go back & collect the finished product. she was excited but had also just read the box properly to notice the flash should have been used with each shot! {the film speed was 400 so i am hoping most of the outdoor shots will be ok? hopefully!}
i told her stories of when i was a little girl. i didn't have a digital/instant camera or mobile phone. i had to always wait with anticipation after dropping my film at the local chemist. to often be totally disappointed with my photo taking results!
do you have fond film memories?!
I've been taking pictures for a LONG time. There was always a lot of excitement as a kid whenever we'd get back from vacation & my dad would mail my rolls of film off to the lab. I was always nervous that they would get lost!
ReplyDeleteThey never did, though. In a couple of weeks I'd get a nice, fat pack of photos back in the mail. Maybe this is why I still love to get mail!
