Those look very good for a disposable camera! I actually thought they looked a little bit like a lomo.. Awesome! I’ll have to grab one of these the next time I go to a place with a pool.

I’m just curious where you got the pictures developed? They look great, but back when I used film (so long ago!) I had a definite preference of where to get things developed, but that place closed. Any hints?

I got these developed at CVS pharmacy and instead of prints, got a photo disc. I, too, usually have preferences for developing. For stuff like this, CVS or Target work fine. (In this case, the CVS has been open for less than a month, so their equipment is brand spanking new). For more critical photography (paid work, artsy shots, things I know I’ll want to blow up), I take my shots to Samy’s Camera and shell out for the pricey high-resolution CD.

I was thinking about the graininess of these images and was wondering how much of it is the high ASA and how much might be processing technique. I might do an experiment. For my next batch of underwater shots, I’ll take them to Samy’s and see if there’s a significant difference.

As for regular prints, I love ordering from Flickr and picking up at Target. They do a surprisingly good job, and I’ve never had any issues with the quality of my prints.

Hey Mike, I was thinking these had a bit of a Lomo quality, too. It’s the high contrast look.

Yes, and the colors are so vibrant!

By the way, you asked to hear more about how I made “Car Crash”..? A post on that is coming tomorrow (July 20) at six o’clock.
