Yup, it's a rare Saturday post. Well, not so much a post as simply a question for you the reader.
I've been thinking about developing the very last disposable camera that I used for Shooting Suburbia and posting it. However, there are a couple of things that you should know.
1} I have no clue what's on it.
2} The pictures were shot sometime when the temperatures were between 60 and 90 degrees.
3} The developed disc would have a maximum of 27 pictures on it.
So my question to you is this: Would this be something that you would be interested in seeing, and if so, how many posts should I try to squeeze out of this disc?

Go on, give me your best shot. I can take it. If I couldn't, I wouldn't have created this wonderful little blog that you decided to grace with your presence today.
About that comment moderation thingy: While yes, it does say up above I can take it, I only use it to prevent the occasional miscreant from leaving thoughtless and/or clueless comments.
So remember, all of your comments are greatly appreciated and all answers will be given that personal touch that you come to expect and enjoy.

I'm always interested in seeing photos, especially yours. As to the number of posts, I have no idea, it depends on the images that you've captured. ;)
ReplyDeleteJoe: Thanks for the compliment.
ReplyDeleteUsually I can squeeze about five week's worth of posts, with a pattern of three odd to two even.
Even if I have to lose a few due to other issues (privacy, badly taken, etc.) I always try to maintain that pattern of odd/even.
I say post them. I always enjoy the charm of the Cedar Mountain, and it'd be nice to see a little bit of summer as we go into winter.
ReplyDeleteSure! How many posts? I agree w/Joey.
ReplyDeleteMMmm What's that they say about counting your exposures er, chickens before they hatch? What if it's a blank role n you want 8 out of it?- How many I'd divide by subject matter. They could be all blurry like I got at the Godzilla party. I could post those, but baby Matty was so cute before her face flew away...
ReplyDeleteI do tho, love seeing those summer pics in the wintertime!
Odd / even pattern? I never ever even consider that!
Joanne: Thanks.
ReplyDeleteCedar Mountain does have its charm from time to time, especially in the summertime. And yes, a litte bit of summer can make a winter a lot more bearable.
R: That's another vote for yes.
Snaggle: I'm not sure that I can divide by subject matter. For the most part, I usually didn't have a specific reason when I went photo shooting. I think I'd only did that on two or three occasions.
As for the odd/even pattern, it was the one thing that I made sure of when I'd originally created the blog. I wanted to get at least a month's worth of posts out of one camera and that was the easiest way of doing it.
Sure - I'd like to see them. I would say look at the 27 photos and decide accordingly how many posts. I don't know about you, but usually take about three shots of everything and almost always use the first one anyway. But it ends up that I have a lot repetitive shots.
ReplyDeleteLynn: When I was actively doing the blog, I rarely took multiples of the same thing. I figured that since I was using a disposable, I couldn't really afford to waste any time taking doubles. The only exception was to take a picture of the same subject (like an animal or plant) from a different angle.
ReplyDeleteI guess that would depend on what's on it! Lovely women, for example? Funny pets? :)
ReplyDeleteCharles: Alas, no lovely women on it. After all, it's a disposable, and whereas you can shoot with a cheesy digital camera and not have anyone see you do it, a disposable is highly conspicious. :D
ReplyDeleteDefinitely post them! Back before I went 100 percent digital with my pictures, I used to love finding random undeveloped film -- you never know what you might have captured! Three posts would divvy them up nicely... but I suppose you should wait to decide until you see what's on the camera... :)
ReplyDeleteLisa: Thanks.
ReplyDeleteIt will definitely be interesting to see what it was that I shot all those months ago.
As for the post count, I'm leaning towards about four or five, as I want to get about a months worth of posts out of this.
