Hello!

Long shot but I found a disposable camera at a thrift store in Orange. I bought it on the off-chance there was someones photos inside, and to my surprise, there was a full roll of film in there. I developed and scanned these at home. Was hoping someone would be able to recognize these people so I can send them their photos!

Thank you!

Finally happy with one of the styles I've made in C1.

I try to go out to the beach and shoot a pack of ten square frames while walking around.

Today was overcast skies, wet sand, dusk light, deep shade, and intentional underexposure. A bunch of light leaks and edge fogging made their way in too. The pack expired in 2022, so the color came out cold, muddy, blue. Not necessarily broken but not perfect either, or I guess maybe perfect in a slightly broken way.

Ignore the white balance/shifts I was playing around with, I just wanted to quickly upload a comparison shot between the two.

Flatbed scanner was 1200 DPI and DSLR scan was pixel shifting with a 40.2mb sensor size (so 20 stacked photos, 500~mb each scan).

Getting rid of the glare wasn't a problem if you aim two lights at 5000k temp and no color shifts at the same angle and distance. Just make sure the film you're scanning has been flattened down so the planes between camera and film are parallel (I used a mirror to center my camera sensor prior).

First few were before it started raining. Had no idea what would come from this as I found it in a friends garage with a couple more. I shot it at 50 ISO, self dev and scanned. One of the frames (6) is an accidental double exposure. Kinda cool overall.
