Need advice on disposable cameras
Hey everyone,
I’m planning a backpacking trip this summer in Colorado that’ll be about 10 weeks long, and I really want to document it with something other than my phone. I’ve always loved the look of disposable camera photos and older film shots. I’ll only have intermittent access to power, and I want stuff to be simple and durable. My first idea was to bring a few disposable cameras and just use them throughout the trip, but I’m also open to bringing a single film camera with extra rolls if that would be better. I would really like that old grainy ish look and also stuff that won't break or fail like halfway through. Is there a particular disposable camera that tends to perform better, or is it smarter to just bring a cheap reusable film camera and a few rolls of film?
Also I'm curious how many cameras/rolls you’d realistically bring for a trip that long.
Thanks in advance. I appreciate any advice.
