Can I tell you about a truly enjoyable
summer activity I did recently?
Well, it all began here:
B&H is a little piece of heaven for photo & video enthusiasts.
Yes, FREE!
From choosing the best camera, to lighting & composition,
to marketing your work. During the summer, they have
photo safaris & scavenger hunts. They lend you a camera and
the group hits the streets of New York City in search of
items to photograph. Prizes await the best photos.
Here's the camera we got to try:
The Fujifilm Instax Mini.
It works like a Polaroid camera (instant film).
We were also given a free cap & T-shirt!
{I love freebies...they're TADA!}
Cameras being handed out...
Plus boxes of film {we each had a total of 40 shots}.
After a short demo, we were given the list of 25 items
we had to find. We had 4 hours to complete the mission.
The output of the camera is this credit card-size photo:
Item #2 on the list: Tourist taking a photo
in Times Square
Item #14: Green park chairs sitting pretty
Item #22: A French Arch with a fountain in NYC
Item #16: An ice cream truck like Mr. Softee
Item #18: A man riding a horse, and getting nowhere
It took us from midtown to downtown on a sweltering day.
I was able to cross out the items in about 2 1/2 hours,
without taking a break -- I really wanted a prize!
But sadly, some folks who were faster and
highly skilled beat me to it {they gave
away B&H gift cards}.
We got to keep the camera though!
And that's a prize in itself.
I also have a stack of photos:
This week, I'll show you how I turn them from blah to TADA!
See you tomorrow, okay?

Hi Hershel! Thanks for visiting and leaving this cool note :) I always have fun at B&H, especially at the Event Space. Oh and the service is awesome!
ReplyDeleteClaire,
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like an awesome time. B&H is a great store (I ordered from them a bunch of times for work) and the Event Space sounds amazing. Makes me wish I lived in NYC.
Sorry you didn't win :-( But at least you did get to keep the camera! :-)
I have stacks of images lying around, so I can't wait to see what I can do with them!
Best,
Carly
Thanks a lot Carly! :)
