Hello,

i would like to thanks a lot all the great photographers here who really play the game, and won the challenge against themselves.
So, now, what do you think ? Do you see things differently ? Do you see more than before ?
Or, ... ? Explain us please. I think it is important to know this and share it :o)

As you know, it was not a competition, it was a challenge against yourself. Did you discover or learn something ?

Thanks again for sharing :o)
Olivier

Slow down !!!!!!!!!!

I've only taken 6 of my 27 exposures yet   

Thats one of the problems with roll film it takes ages to finish before you get to see the results!

lol ok Onslow !

we have time ;o) but for those who had already played the game, you can explain your experience :oD

seeya ;o)

Sheesh Richard....I was much more flippant when taking my shots. I guess that is why they were less than stellar. Looking forward to yours. My experience? Let's just say still I prefer digital. ;'P I may want to try again though, knowing now what I know now. (heheheh)

I was also perhaps too quick to shoot.   When using my wife's 35mm out of habit with that camera I take more time in composition and subject choices.  With the one-use, I treated it something between the 35m and my digital.   More "wait" for an opportunity likely would have helped, hoping as with digital that a fine subject is waiting to be discovered tomorrow.

I also forgot the parallax problem with the viewfinder...this meant crop on one image certainly.

As for the second try, who knows when that might be but I might get another disposable to keep with me and wait for the better shots..but those will be taken on DSLR also if too good to pass.

The camera I had had definite limitations and also whatever film used was generally oversaturated.

It did remind me of the times I have gone with one setting for an entire session of shooting but then conditions were less varied and more controlled than the variances of light with the one-use camera.

Add on to what I might have learned:  Much of my "trial" was pushing the camera to what its limits.  A second try might reveal more.   This first one was as much trying the camera as trying myself.

Olivier, sometime when more respond to the challenge, let us know what you might believe we would learn from the trial.  Fair enough?   Tom.

I enjoyed the experience it was nice to see that I could produce good work with a very minimal camera, took me right back to my first camera which apart from the ability to change film very similar.  One problem I encounterd was "thumb over lens" not a problem you encounter with an SLR but it was nice to be able to just pop the camera in a pocket and go around and about without my usual kit.  That said I will not be trading in my SLR anytime soon.
