#ShittyCameraChallenge That time of year when Spring announces its arrival with flowers. Trying out a few filters on the S168 PRO Mini Life Camera.

Liz Koppert @lizkoppert-78.bsky.social · 3w ago

#ShittyCameraChallenge finally tried out the Chuzhao TLR and the Sony Mavica MVC-FD7 with the variable infrared filter (Mk II). Yup, the last one took a swim in the Taylor River, not seen it since, taken this long to replace it and try these guys out.

Infrared photo of some shrubbery (a rose bush... and a tree?) outside my gate. Taken with the Chuzhao TLR, set to black and white.

A different angle of the same infrared shot with the Sony Mavica FD7. The photo shows a mix of the rose bush, some star-shaped flowers (they're white in real life, anyway), and the grass growing from the street frontage.

#ShittyCameraChallenge From the files of today's walking group. It included calling in to a couple's place for a cuppa and sausage rolls. On a personal note, got a bit of traipsing about in later for a couple of photography projects.

#ShittyCameraChallenge. #Minidigibladski heading to the chippie to fetch another batch of fish & chips for Saturday night's dinner.

Photo taken outside the chippie with the black-and-white comic art filter applied. Everything that's lit up in the darkness (lights from the laundromat, chippie, Night&Day store, and a car's headlights) is white, as are roadlines and the footpath outside the establishments. Everything else is black. The fish 'n' chips sign is black with white writing. Date in yellow writing on the bottom right corner.

Same black-and-white comic art filter applied to the drinks fridge at the chippie. As with the outside photo, the lighting is white, while the bottles, some shadow, and everything else are black. Date in yellow writing on the bottom right corner.

Beyond #ShittyCameraChallenge. These'll never qualify (Nikon D300 being semi-pro, 12mpx), but teamed with Diana F+ lenses, I'ma leavin' them here for your enjoyment. Back to regular programming...

Slightly artistic close-up of an open Fuchsia flower. It is white and pink, and a raindrop is on some of the petals. There is a leaf in the top left foreground, and swirly bokeh in the background.

Another painterly-styled photo of a flower. It is a star-shaped, white flower tinged with blue, with yellow stamens. This unknown beauty (along with the leaves behind it) is covered in raindrops. Comments on the identity of this wee darling appreciated.

#ShittyCameraChallenge Went in to get a new script for antidepressants this morning. This acrobatic road cone has been chilling out in the tree outside for a while. Taken with the #Minidigibladski (from last year's challenge) that proved to be a hit at D&D last night. It got comments earlier too.

Colour photo of an orange road cone stuck amongst the multitude of branches outside the doctor's surgery.

#ShittyCameraChallenge. A few randoms over the last couple of days.

A few smaller branches of the magnolia at the gate with flowers in bloom, sitting in a Pyrex jug. They'd been hacked off by some punk with a concrete mixer backing down 91B's driveway to lay some concrete in the backyard at 93. Looks washed out, as no flash has been used. Negative art colour filter applied.

Same photo of the magnolias in the Pyrex jug, auto-enhanced in Paint.Net to bring out the photo better. A lot of digital noise is present, but it is now easier to see the Sodastream machine in the background.

A couple of metal chairs (without upholstery) sitting outside the fence of a (vacant?) commercial property down Main Street, across the road from Main St Fish and Chips. They have been sitting there for some time.

Taken during Dungeons and Dragons tonight. One of the party members in the background can be identified by the college jacket he is wearing. On the table is a battle mat and minis showing where party members and NPCs are (NPCs are characters that don't have players behind them but interact with the party). The huge one with (yes, they *are* horns) in the foreground is my Tiefling Bard, Mordecai. Black-and-white comic art filter applied.

#ShittyCameraChallenge: a few photos from earlier in the week. Think I needed Tuesday off, just to recover...

Liz Koppert @lizkoppert-78.bsky.social · 2mo ago

#ShittyCameraChallenge Top Shots photolab inherited a couple of Sony Mavicas recently, and as I have 3 of them (and the relevant bits to run them), I've been helping to check them. While the other one's still AWOL, I can confidently state this particular Mavica is a goer. Just needs a new battery.

A radio-controlled yellow helicopter with black writing on the fuselage and black paint above the tail rotor sits in the window of the photo lab. A miniature (great for sitting on a tabletop or plinth) tripod is sitting in front of the chopper. To the right of the small tripod, two more legs (another tripod?) stick out behind what looks like a moveable dividing wall. Outside the window, the photo lab's sign is visible, and along the bottom of the photo is a shadow highlighting the step up from the photo lab's floor to the area for the window display.

#ShittyCameraChallenge. Over the last couple of days, I've finally "christened" the Millennium edition Kodak Charmera. Somewhat amusing my neuro-eccentric brain, I couldn't quite figure out why the Butchery window needed a "wet floor" sign... (We went in to purchase meatballs for dinner).

Picture of a building with shrubbery and empty tree branches (it is winter, after all) and part of a wooden fence. There are 3 windows (and a drain pipe) in the building. The middle window has a "Caution! Wet Floor" sandwich sign hanging in it. In the bottom left corner is "2026 07 16" running vertically in orange writing.

Tar-sealed carpark (complete with white parking lines) surrounded by a dark wooden fence. In front of the fence is a bush and a couple of trees (one of them looking like a baby Christmas tree). In the background are some power poles, a house, the back of a street sign, and more plant life. In the bottom left corner is "2026 07 17" running vertically in orange writing.

#ShittyCameraChallenge "replacement G6" Thumb camera on the bottom. Turns out it ain't quite the G6 it's replacing (it lacks some filters). Ne'er mind. Not quite sure the handle of the one on top, but it has some funky filters... neg art: colour and B&W! Came today.

Top: Keychain camera similar to the Kodak Charmera, but with a flip-top viewfinder. It has "MINI CAMERA Record a wonderful life" at the top in red lettering and a rainbow of navy, purple, red, and yellow running along the bottom (and through the lens). 1982 is written on the rainbow in white lettering, and white stripes separate each colour in the rainbow.
Bottom: replacement "G6" Thumb camera with a rainbow of indigo, blue, pink, orange, and yellow running along the bottom (and through the lens). The rainbow has a curved slice out of it and the number '1984' in white. It has "THUMB CAMERA" in bold red letters and "Record Anytime Anywhere" in plain black letters.

What's the odds of both Charmeras coming out of their Blind boxes looking so similar? Not that I'm complaining, as I couldn't have orchestrated it better! #ShittyCameraChallenge

Side-by-side Kodak Charmera Edition. Vintage (grey, with purple, pink, red, yellow, and GREEN! rainbow at the bottom - and running through a black lens surround) on left and Millenium (metallic silver, with a red stripe above 4 with varying shades of blue at the bottom - running through a chrome lens surround) at right. While the "MILLENIUM" and "2000" are written on the top (and darkest) blue stripe in yellow, both have "Kodak Charmera" written along the top. "Kodak" is written in bold red letters, and "Charmera" is written in black cursive on both examples.

#ShittyCameraChallenge from St. Andrew's Church walking group on Monday morning. Fortuitously timed, as later that afternoon (as I was driving my boyfriend home from Picton), the heavy rain warning-related weather rolled in.

#ShittyCameraChallenge Last night's dinner run. Aiming for the Chippie (Main St Fish & Chips)

A line of vehicles travelling along a wet Main St (part of State Highway 1) as I was about to cross the road to the fish & chip shop to order dinner. Ignore the timestamp, it was actually closer to 6pm when I took this on my WEE purple anko camera (it fits inside a Chessex dice set container. D&D players: IYKYK)

#ShittyCamearaChallenge Spotted at Presbyterian Support during my Lions club meeting this afternoon. For those outside NZ, Matariki is Māori New Year, which arrives when the Pleiades can be seen in the sky. Late this year (10 July); sometimes celebrated in June.

3 6-pointed stars with tiki faces in a row along frosted window glass. The tiki and the stars are different colours. Below the frosted glass is normal glass with a multi-coloured pattern on it.

3 posters hanging on the window above the stars; each showing a face and a word in te reo Maori. The left and middle posters show women facing left. The right one (partially obscured by reflection from the camera's flash) has a man facing right.

Sign saying "Nga mihi o Matariki te tau hou Māori" (translation: Greetings on Matariki, the Māori New Year.) The word "matariki" is multicoloured, while the rest of the words are in white. A few stars (representing the Pleiades) are around the border.
Indecipherable text on another sign underneath.

Tried the variable IR filter on the Sony Mavica MVC-FD83 this morning after bible study. Took a little processing to bring out the leaves and remove some of the digital noise from the sky, but the bones of the photo promised quite a striking shot. #ShittyCameraChallenge #Floppydisksquad

Black and white Infrared photo of a palm tree at Seymour Square. The sky is jet black, leaves are white/grey (depending on whether they are in sunlight or shadow), and the tree trunk is a darker grey. Taken around 11am-ish.

Any idea on the theme of the next #ShittyCameraChallene? I got some Свема 200 asa film fair itching to go through my Miranda Fv. Might even be able to find something on AliExpress or Temu for the Lomo Konstruktor.

You know you're probably onto a #ShittyCameraChallenge winner, when this is essentially what you get straight out of a Sony Mavica (MVC-FD7) and the IR filter set to ~750NM. BTW, the FD7 was set to 'colour' for this shot...

Infrared shot of the rose bush out at the front gate. The foliage is grey-white, and the two roses in the shot are white with a tinge of pink. There is a splash of red in the top left corner. Minimal editing was done in post.
