Why not just put disposable cameras <\/strong>
on the tables?<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

WHY REUSABLE<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Many couples love the idea of disposable cameras, but the DIY route quickly becomes a chore.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

The waste<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Single-use plastic cameras end up in the bin the moment the film comes out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\n

The hidden costs<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Buying, shipping, developing and scanning 8 disposables yourself can easily run $400\u2013$500.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\n

The chore<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Someone has to collect the cameras, ship them to a lab and sort the film. Usually after the honeymoon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Grabbed a camera from your table? <\/strong>
Make every frame count.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Film is wonderfully forgiving, but it has a few quirks. These quick tips will help your photos come back bright, sharp and full of life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

1<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Chase the light<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

These cameras love brightness. The more light on your subject, the better the picture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\n

2<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Not sure? Use the flash<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Inside or after dark, always turn it on. Outdoors in daylight, you can skip it \u2014 unless someone close up is standing in shade.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\n

3<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Step in \u2014 but not too close<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The lens is wide, so people across the room come out tiny. Move in, but stay at least 1 metre (about 3 feet) away or things go soft.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

4<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Hold still for the click<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The shutter isn\u2019t fast, so any wobble shows up as blur. Brace your elbows, press gently, and ask your subjects to pause for a second.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\n

5<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Mind your fingers<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Fingertips love to drift over the lens. Hold the camera by its sides and keep the front clear.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\n

6<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Don\u2019t chase perfect<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The best film shots are spontaneous. Catch the laugh, the hug, the dance move \u2014 imperfect is part of the charm.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Easy mistakes to avoid<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Skipping the flash indoors.<\/mark><\/strong> A room can look bright to you and still be too dark for film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Shooting into a window or sunset.<\/mark><\/strong> Without flash, your subject turns into a silhouette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Leaving the camera somewhere hot.<\/mark> Heat can fog film or shift its colours \u2014 keep it out of direct sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Shooting in dim corners.<\/mark><\/strong> Low light makes film grainy and soft. Find the light, or use the flash.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\n

Your camera\u2019s tags<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

How to use it. Turn on the flash if needed, wind the film wheel, frame your shot, & press the shutter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Your photo prompts. <\/strong>There are a number of different sets, so the next table will be hunting for different shots than yours. If you need more inspiration, you can find additional prompts below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Finished your roll?<\/strong> Just leave the camera on your table for collection at the end of the night.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
