Attention Twitter Exiles:

Be sure to “Submit a Post” to us so we can reblog your pictures taken Shitty Cameras!

This system is going to be much easier to manage in the future, rather than us searching for your works, you can now easily send them directly to The Shitty Camera Challenge.

Posting on Tumblr has a few advantages over Twitter too, apart from direct submissions.

-A post can now have multiple photos!

-Your post can now be wordy! Did you have a detailed story about how or where your photos were taken? Did you find an ancient incantation that would help you with The Elder Gods?Please share your story with the The Shitty Camera Challenge, & your fellow Shitters, without fear of a character limit.

-Tumblr’s general atmosphere is generally weirder, & we will find our niche here.

-If switching can fuck over Elon Musk even a little bit, it’s worth it. We are willing to burn our Twitter account down to be reborn here.

See our pinned blog post for more details on The Shitty Camera Challenge, & ALL GLORY TO THE ELDER GODS!

The #ShittyCameraChallenge and the glitchy Vivitar 'Vivicam': If you go down to the woods today, 28 July 2023

Catching up on some blog entries from our holiday with the glitchy Vivitar 'Vivicam' from the #ShittyCameraChallenge

Although I thought my contributions to the Shitty Camera Challenge this year were over, I managed to wangle a camera onto the list of things I could take. I decided to take the glitchy Vivitar ‘Vivicam’ with me (and smuggled a Minox 35GT loaded with Lomochrome Purple in my suitcase) as this was ideal for the Challenge. The first day we took a walk around rhe block and I was able to revisit some…

Family member hooked me up with this Fisher Price Kid Tough digital camera. A great candidate for the @shittycamerachallenge! Takes gorgeous, high res 640x480 photographs, ha ha. (I swear I thought I was smiling in that selfie.)

I actually wanted to take some Dreameye photos for the ShittyCameraChallenge today, but due to several SD Card shenanigans you just get a bunch of Dreamcast trichromes instead

A #Jankuary short: A few frames with the Kodak 'Handle' and Instax Square instant film, 04 February 2024

One of the favourite cameras of my unashamedly shitty camera collection is the Kodak Handle from 1977, an obsolete instant camera that used a rotary handle to eject the film instead of motorised rollers. I originally got this unusual looking camera for the Shitty Camera Challenge: Instant Regret, which was a celebration of shitty instant cameras (which, let’s face it, is all of them). It was…

I'm sure "the shitty camera challenge" is self explanatory but just in case it isn't, could you explain what that is for those of us who don't know?

Hey anon! The Shitty Camera Challenge is a photography contest that I run.

The Shitty Camera Challenge started on Twitter but we migrated to Mastodon. You can follow us at ‪@ShittyCameraChallenge@photog.social‬ (we have a tumblr & Instagram but rarely use them)

The basic idea is to make art using cameras that are well… kinda shitty. Here’s a chart that can help loosely tell you what is or isn’t a shitty camera. But I find that shitty cameras are like pornography, you know it when you see it.

There’s actually a Shitty Camera Challenge happening right now on Mastodon until August 31st. There’s a bunch of people making some amazing stuff. Ultimately SCC is about not taking things to seriously & having fun with photography.

Here’s a short article about the Shitty Camera Challenge, it’s inception, & goals from 2019.

Hope that was helpful, if you need any more information just ask.

guilty by Jeff Shulkosky Via Flickr: #ShittyCameraChallenge #InstantRegret This is a fun creative challenge I'm participating in on Twitter. There is pretty much only one rule and that is that the camera, "POOPS OUT A PICTURE AFTER YOU TAKE IT." So I've got an old Polaroid and at least 2 stacks of film, one b&w and one yellow/black. This first photo is of Waffles caught in the act of playing with the blinds Camera: Polaroid OneStep CloseUp Film: Polaroid B&W 600 Film
