World Toy Camera Day 2007
For World Toy Camera Day on 20 October, most of the Betties visited Captains Flat, an old mining town about 60 kilometres Canberra. After a wander around the disused mine site, they enjoyed a cooling ale at the local pub, which claims to have the longest bar in Australia. Not bad for a town of 500 people!
I picked my toy camera up at the local supermarket as I drove out to the Flat. It is a $10 blue "Snap Sights" SS05 reusable daylight plastic camera with a 28mm plastic lens, preloaded with 27 exposure 200 ASA colour negative film made in Italy but spooled in China. It leaks just enough light to give a simulated hand-coloured effect! Check it out at www.intova.net/sfc.html.

These are great images, Bob! They've got a fantastic a vintage look to them.
That light spilling over the roof is great!
