World Toy Camera Day 18th Oct.
-
As World Toy Camera Day is on 18th October this year, we are planning to run a toy camera event on this date in Airfield Trust, Dundrum. Would any members be interested in attending?
We will have a few spare toy cameras to give those of you who don’t own any a try. Our plan is to spend a few hours shooting around the grounds of Airfield and then giving everyone the opportunity to develop their films in the afternoon. We can of course show anyone who hasn’t done developing, how to do it.
The only cost to you is the entrance fee to Airfield (€6 I think) and something to cover renting the darkroom, probably just €10 per person.
So if you want to give that Holga, Lomo or Lubitel a go, this is your chance.
We are away for the weekend on the Ilford factory tour so will be back with more details on Monday.

Start time will be 11am and you will have a few hours to walk around the Grounds of Airfield (http://www.airfield.ie) and shoot some film. There is lots of subjects to choose from such as plants, animals, old buildings and vintage cars.
After lunch we can develop some of the films and if they are not dry before you leave, we will post them to you.

Here are the final details for our day out in Airfield for World Toy Camera Day on 18th October.
Start time: 11am (of course you can go earlier if you wish, Airfield opens at 10am)
Photograph around the grounds till lunch time and then we can develop some films in the afternoon. I can’t yet say how many films you will get to develop as I don’t have a total of how many are coming yet, but you will get to develop one film at least.
Finish time around 3pm.
You can shoot B&W, Colour, or both on the day but the colour film will have to be developed in a lab.
Re B&W films: It would make developing easier if we all used the same film. I suggest getting some Kodak TRI-X film. Don’t worry if you can’t find any or have already purchased another film, it won’t stop you taking part but it would be best to have a 400 ISO film.
If films are not dry before you leave, I will post them to you.
If you have extra toy cameras, please bring them and maybe others can have a try.
Please pm me if you intend coming along as I need to know how many we will have.
For those who have not yet pm’d me but who intend coming tomorrow, would you please let me know as I need to know how many there will be.
