Cheap Equipment...

[cactus waltz]

I' hear a lot that the magic is in the photographer, and not the camera. So.. Do you guys have any interesting/fascinating/great shots taken with cheap equipment?

When I say cheap, I mean like Game Boy Cameras, photo booths, disposables, cellphone cameras. That sort of stuff.

I mostely use my camera phone for family quick shots or when something weird comes up but here are a few that are not terrible.
1.

2.

3.

4.

I really don't much care for these but I guess there was a little something about each that appealed to me. Hmm? I think these were all taken the same day.

Both taken with a disposable.

Also the first two pictures I ever posted on here.

I like 2, 3 and 4 tmpadmin. They look great. They look like they were taken in the 50's.
And great gratuitous clevage shot Core.

Do four year old £50 second hand digital cameras count as cheap? If so, I've got loads that I could post. :mrgreen:

I've posted this before, but this is from my camera phone...my two favorite beings on earth...my kitty and my honey!

I took this with a camera I got at a 99 cent only store. The film and the camera combined cost me $1.98US There was no flash, it had a crank wind just like the disposables......it was definately cheap equipment. I was testing one out to see if they did any good for the table cameras at a wedding. Needless to say they didn't pass the test, but this is 2 years old.

I haven't seen a theme for this so Im gonna start one. These are from an old wallet sized Radio Shack digital. Crappy camera but fun photos. they are also PS-free, just resized for web friendly

these two are from a moving car.

not radio shack caliber, but a canon a80

the a85s have dipped into the 200 dollar range for a while now *_*

ps7 used to resize and crop only

Arguably the most random umbrella I've ever come across...at the Getty at least.

And just some random barrels I came across at a ranch:

Here's a camera phone pic I took the other day. I always love the way the lights hit the grain bins in the late afternoon. I really need to get a decent pic with my good camera.
