With the state of the world it feels like time for a #shittycamerachallenge @shittychallenge.bsky.social

Another camera pulled out of the grave to take part in the @shittychallenge.bsky.social

Did you remember to put off laundry day for another week by taking advantage of the last day of the @shittychallenge.bsky.social tee-shirt sale? Your cats would be happy if you did!

News just in....

Heart of a champion

Congratulations to @tankarchives.bsky.social on a well-deserved win. #CrappyCommieCameraParty

Was in an LCBO today and a masked guy just walking in and grabbed 4 whiskey bottles, and booted it out of there, and the clerk was just like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and went back to trying to figure out my @shittychallenge.bsky.social T-shirt.

Adding "award winning photographer" to my resume.

Pssst! @shittychallenge.bsky.social Now that all the wheat is threshed and the proletariat need a new activity... May I propose TOY cameras? Our son was kind enough to bring me this bad boy back from Tokyo! 😍 Greatness (circa an early 2000s cell phone) awaits!!

Due to the OVERWHELMING response last year, we’re putting together another #ShittyCameraChallenge Holiday “Giveaway” It’ll be on eBay, you buy a random camera, & we send it to you. ALL the profits will be donated to charity. Last year we sold out in 3 hours. More info coming.

Congratulations to @tankarchives.bsky.social you have won the #CrappyCommieCameraParty. All other participants must report to the gulag.

The #Crappycommiecamerachallenge ended, 6 days ago. Fuck.

Sadly I never got these negs back in time from the lab for the @shittychallenge.bsky.social challenge. But I'm gonna post them anyway! One thing is for certain, the Jupiter 11 didn't perform very well! These are Jupiter 8 shots! FED-4 Jupiter 8 lens Kentmere 200 #CrappyCommieCameraParty

Ah yes, one from the Diana Mini, possibly my shittiest of shitty cameras!

one more from the Etude for the #CrappyCommieCameraParty was trying to get better at finding an editing style with this one. i think i like making things less true to life and more grungy lol idk how the backing paper light leak happened but it's cool so 🤷‍♂️ #filmphotography #lomography

My new favourite film, but surely using a good film is not in the spirit of the @shittychallenge.bsky.social FED, FED f/6.3 100 mm, RPX-25 film #crappycommiecameraparty #believeinfilm #analogphotography #filmphotography

Test roll (bulk-loaded FP4+) through the UFK-2. Had to assemble the sucker before I could use it. Had to stick the shutter assembly back together, as the original glue had lost its stick. The results show (how crappy it is). All out of focus.

A not-so crappy camera for #CrappyCommieCameraParty, the Praktica LTL This actually my dad's old camera, and it's in fine condition except for maybe a dodgy lightmeter (might be the battery though). I found it amazing how familiar the shutter sound is even after two decades.
