About Push and Pray

To make things clear, I'm a Christian so this isn't meant to be religiously offensive.

Film cameras with limited manual control only please, read on to understand why....

The idea came about from my love of cameras, and my increasing collection of non controllable gear, such as auto everything half frames through to box brownies with a set aperture and only Instant or Time to chose from for a shutter speed. Often I've found myself flinching as I depress the shutter, hoping that it's going to work.

So, this group is designed to highlight the diversity and creativity of cameras where you push the button and cross your fingers that the shot turned out.

I'd appreciate it if you tagged your submissions with "Push and Pray"; please post your best from your dodgy cameras!


As for the types of submissions I'm after, here are some examples:

Holga
Pinhole
Vivitar wide
Action Sampler
Xpro slide film - debatable, but as there is limited control over the final outcome I figure it counts.
Zone plates
Polaroid
Disposable cameras etc...
