Let's go back retro style with disposable camera's! I kind of disposed the disposable cams out of my life since the upcoming digital camera's and camera's on mobile phones. Same for my analog camera. But for my birthday I've decided to memorize this big three-0 milestone on actual pictures with disposable camera's. Funny thing is one of my birthday present is an actual analog camera ha. I've bought 3 different kinds of disposables for testing: Kodak, Afga Lebox and Harman ILFORD SUC XP2 SUPER. I'm not an expert in these camera's and this was my first time shooting with it. So this whole test is based on an amateur point of view ha. Please do check out my findings down below.

Even in retrostijl wanen met de wegwerp camera's! Deze camera's samen met de analoog camera's heb ik al tijden niet meer gebruikt sinds de opkomst van digitale camera's en de smartphone. Voor mijn afgelopen verjaardag besloot ik deze vast te leggen met wegwerp camera's voor échte kiekjes. Het grappige is, is dat ik een analoog camera als cadeau kreeg voor deze verjaardag. Ik kocht 3 verschillende wegwerp camera's om te testen: odak, Afga Lebox and Harman ILFORD SUC XP2 SUPER. Ik ben geen expert in wegwerp camera's en het was mijn eerste keer dat ik ze schoot. Deze test kun je baseren op een amateuristische oogpunt ha. En de testuitslag van deze amateur lees je hieronder.

Blank negatives
Firstly I was so bumped out to let these disposables camera`s develop and a huge of the negatives were blank. I was looking forward of the cat photograph which I shot with one of the disposable camera`s but sadly didn`t made it through the development. Mostly I`m being an amature and I was using the disposable incorrectly but then again this was a test and trial proces for me and hoping for the best. I also think some of them were blank because of the overexposure of just being too dark. Anyways this again is a trial and error game and I might know what to do next time? Fingers crossed.
AGFAPHOTO LEBOX FLASH €9,99
This gave me the most photo`s (19 out of 27) and I quite like the ones that made it. The photo`s has a nice white hazy look on it which I like. It gives the pics a bit retro vibe to it. Also I think the Agfaphoto Lebox does a better job in close ups (like food shots) than the Kodak one. Overall not a bad camera!

Kodak Fun Saver €11,99
Despite the 12 free extra shots that came with this Kodak Fun Saver that brought me a total of 39 frames, I only got 20 from it and that sucks. Perhaps not a fun saver at all. The pictures however have an excellent contrast with great colours and sharpness. The portrait shots with flash works super well in the dark places. Better than Agfa Lebox if you ask me. An important reminder is that this camera has an ISO 800 so make sure the flash is off or you`ll have an overexposure and blank film roll.

HARMAN ILFORD SUC XP2 €15,99
This disposable gives black and white photo`s which I thought it`s a cool idea if all came out well developed. I sadly only got 13 out of 27 exposures and left with many blank negatives. When flash is turned on and you shoot it at a dark place it creates a nice sharp contrast of black and white. Without it, it gives a grainy retro look on the photo`s. It doesn`t do well indoor especially without the flash. The photo`s turn so dark! I`d suggest with this B&W disposable to turn your flash on most of the time though does doe a fine job when outside on broad daylight.

I got my disposables developed at this Dutch chain pharmacy called `Kruidvat`. It`s a looot cheaper than getting it developed at an actual camera store. I even get a cd-rom with all my photo`s init for digital purposes. Awesome! Except my laptop doesn`t have a cd or a dvd player #whoops
EN Or you can call them ‘scrubbies’ but I use them to create whip cream for my crochet cakes and cupcakes! They also make great home decorations by putting them into a maison jar! Did I just inspire you to make them as a gift for your friend, mum, girlfriend..? I’ll say: go for it! NL Of ze worden ook wel ‘scrubbies’ genoemd en ze zijn bedoeld om je lichaam mee te wassen en te scrubben. Maar mijn versie is klein en dienen ze als toefjes slagroom op mijn gehaakte taartjes en cupcakes! Ook doen ze aardig als huis decoraties bijvoorbeeld in een leuke glazen pot! Ik zou zeggen: maak ze voor je vriendin, mama, GF!

EN This week is officially my back-to-work week from my 6 wonderful weeks off Summer break. And like always it takes some time to adjust, to get my inner work engine warmed up again and like always take a deep breath. It’s kind of the same feeling going back to school but instead of school it’s work. Yay. Since it’s my first work week and it’s first of September why not kick it off with a DIY post. You know to keep our mind working! And this time I take you guys through another fruity crochet tutorial where this time it’s all about the bananas! Happy bunch of bananas because a banana provides good energy to our body, anti-stress and of course is a good snack for every monkeyheads like us! Like always I tend to keep it simple and this banana crochet is very novice, I promise. And if not you can always leave a comment or a mail for questioning. Please try it out!

EN It’s holidays and Liberation Days in The Netherlands and with all these delicious day offs, I’ve finally got more time to do my yarn works. And yes sleeping in late is also great. But mostly I’ve been really productive with my yarn works, whereas the most recent ones - the puff pastry/Danish I have received a fair amount of likes and sweet comments on my social media. Thank you! Being productive means also I take effort and time in perfecting my yarn works but not too hard to make luckily! Especially the snail rolls (cinnamon rolls/pain aux raisin) are really easy and fun to make. And because sharing is caring, I’m sharing you my little secret of making these crochet cinnamon rolls! NL Heerlijk de meivakantie met al die vrije dagen kan ik lekker ongestoord op mijn haak werkjes storten. En natuurlijk ook heerlijk uitslapen hoort erbij maar de laatste tijd ben ik super productief geweest met haken. Mijn meest recente werkjes - het bladerdeeg/br...
