Ansco Disc HR 20

An old disc camera I've had for a long time.

Some of my home canning. This was a test shot using an old disc camera I've had for years. Since they don't make disc film anymore and they employ a special disc which I never shot and don't have any old ones to re-use in any way, I had to improvise and cut down some 35mm film to use in the camera. Without the disc, the focal plane was off and that's what caused it to be severly out of focus. But, at least I got the camera to take a picture.

A fuel tank of some kind, and it’s just adjacent to my property. I took this with one of my disc cameras and it was a convoluted process. I cut down a piece of black and white film, fit it into an empty disc cartridge, taped it into place, then put the cartridge inside my disc camera – all in the dark. Then I developed it in used Caffenol CM-RS (that had been sitting around for two weeks), for about twice the required length. This shot didn't turn out too bad, so I can now say this is another camera in my collection that I've used and got a decent image to show for it. With some of these cameras, though, it's tough trying to figure out a way to get them to function and take a picture.

This is my neighbor's back yard. He's in the restaurant business and apparently the local town government doesn't care about my property values anymore.

Flowers are starting to bloom around my yard. These are some daffodils out front that people can clearly see when they drive past.
