E is for... On the way

A quick update on my progress with the Creativity Bootcamp. I'm finally on my way with the daily prompts. I decided to make this a bit more of a challenge by putting down my SLR camera and picking up a disposable one. Now it's only been about 5 years since I moved onto digital, but I would never have imagined how different the photography process could feel. A few things I had forgotten about disposable cameras:

- It sounds obvious, but no display means you can't review your photo once you've heard the click. This takes away the satisfaction of seeing a nicely framed image before your eyes. That said, I'm already excited about developing the film and seeing the result.

- No zoom. This means if you're snapping something in detail you have to get up really close! Especially where this project is concerned, you might be photographing something out of the ordinary, people are gonna wonder what on earth you're doing! I found this myself whilst snapping trees in carparks and details of bricks in Manchester.

- No "one more for luck" mentality. This camera cost me £6.99... and that's before the cost of developing the film. Every single click of the button is precious. Each photo has to be carefully thought through as it's final.

So, this project will be finished on Friday, and I will have my results back on Monday. I can't wait to see how they come out! On another note, what do you think of my little purse I'm keeping my camera in? I made it using the tutorial at Skip To My Lou. It was a fun little make and I'm pretty pleased with the result.

Hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine.
