The Camera that Traveled Pweb
The Camera that Traveled Pweb
Premise: One camera, one roll of film, traveling from place to place.
No rules. Just take photos of things that capture your eye. I guess no nudity, since everything will be posted at the end
The allotted amount you can take will depend on how many people end up participating.
I'm going to find a camera that is dead easy to operate for everyone to use. The camera will be automatic in function, but may have manual function for those who wish to use it.
For those who want to take part, PM me your address and I'll put your name on a list here.
Right now, logically I'll send it to the person that is the furthest way so I can work it's way back to me, rather than order of who signs up.
List:
Petrie/GD
Dr. Mobius
steph
Petra456
Mich
helenberrycrunch
thoughtreader (Need Address)
Luet
Young Val
locke (Need Address)
Jayelle
Yebra (Need Address)

How does order matter? If it's traveling via the philotic web, wouldn't it be instantaneous regardless of the distances involved?
Count me in too, though I have no idea what I'll do with it.
Also, we might have to use FedEx for the Canadians. I hear their mail system is having labor problems or something.

I don't know how familiar most of you are with the 'technical' aspects of manual camera operation, but one camera I'm looking at it seems like the most automatic operation requires the user to select the shutter speed. Is that okay, or should I find another camera?
The nice thing about this camera is that the camera won't let you take a badly exposed image as it will lock the shutter from firing until you select another shutter speed that'll work.
I was thinking if I could find some cheap filters, that I would include them. They'd probably be mainly for correcting for tungsten or fluorescent lighting. Would anyone want these?

I have never used anything but a camera where you just push a button and it goes "click". Think like a disposable camera but back when they had real cameras that were like that. I say the simpler, the better. And the cheaper, the better...just in case it gets broken in the mail, although we can add insurance for a couple dollars when shipping.

That camera might have been a 110 format, in which the film came in a long cartridge. I had one of those long, long ago.

Yes, I did have a camera that used those 110 cartridges. I also had a camera that used 35mm rolls at some point but even that was just a point and shoot one. This was probably close to ten years go and then I started using digital cameras.

Well, I took the quality of it being like a disposable camera to be the quality of the camera and not the size of film used.It just sounds like she had a standard point-and-shoot, which could have been 35mm.
It could have been an APS camera that uses a different format which film manufacturers were trying to push the latter part of the 90's. The film canister resembles old school 35mm, but uses smaller film.
Edit: Okay, you answered while I was posting.

I don't mind participating in this, but perhaps we should have a North American round, and then us folks over here will do a separate round (postage, etc.).

I would like to participate but I'm not sure where I'll be living when it gets to me (and if I am moving, it would put me in the far group, while I currently reside in the relatively closer group).
So don't go worrying about me

I'm not sure about from there to here but here are some rough estimates for shipping from here to:
Canada:
.5kg - $6.60
1kg - $10.70
England:
.5kg - $13.20
1kg - $20.30
This is for the cheapest, USPS first-class international shipping. I'm not sure about other carriers.

Where do you get that 1lb equals 1kg? One kg equals 2.2 pounds. But yes, you are correct about the cost of 1lb. I was going based on the cost of an actual .5kg (1.1lb) and 1kg (2.2lb).
So, if we are talking pounds:
Canada:
8oz - $3.50
1lb - $5.60
England:
8oz - $7.80
1lb - $11.40
