What is FFFSFA,(FFS)? Fixed Focus, Fixed Speed, Fixed Aperture
In the past this was a 'Disposable Camera' challenge, however seeing how little chance there is nowadays to effectively recycle or refill all these cameras, the FFFSFA challenge was created in 2022 so now another year will run.How it works
The challenge is to post up to three photographs taken by you with a Fixed Focus, Fixed Speed, Fixed Aperture film camera¹ anytime between Santa Claus's visit in 2022 and the closing date in November 2023.A thread on which to post those photos will be created on the last Sunday of October 2023 (29/10/23) . That will be the entries and voting thread. At the same time, another thread will be created on which to post any other photos you might wish to share, the reject/also ran thread.
The final date for entries is the last Sunday in November 2023 (26/11/23). Voting will take place from the close of entries for one week (to 3/12/23). You will be able vote for your three favourite photos.
The subject matter is open, up to you, do your own thing. Basic processing allowed, but nothing extreme. (I think we all know what is meant by this)
This thread is for discussion, chat and waffle as we move through another year.
If you are thinking of joining in then please let us know in this thread then you will automatically get updated if anything changes.
Footnotes:
¹ Any film camera that does not allow you to change, or itself change automatically, focus, shutter speed or aperture is acceptable. We are sure we can trust that if you have a camera that is almost suitable to put some tape over any controls that would break the rules. If you are not sure if a particular camera fits the rules then ask in this thread. There are some commercially refilled/recycled film cameras nominally 'disposable, single use' those are acceptable or any disposable ones you still have unused. (See last years discussions on this link and the entries and reject/also ran shots ).
