New kit – Robot 3

One of my birthday presents arrived this morning, a ‘Robot 3′ camera which is available from various people on ebay for around £12, just do a search for ‘lomo robot’. As far as I’m aware, it’s not actually made by lomo, just an unnamed chinese company.

My new camera, except mine is white and orange.

It takes 3 photos within a short space of time, around 1 second I think. The best photos I have seen with them show some sort of movement, either panning or shooting a moving target, so I’m after ideas of what I should do.

Example of a robot 3 photo

My first thoughts are that I could take photos from the passenger seat of my car as we pass various landmarks, and that taking it to a funfair would be a good idea too, but suggestions are welcome. Hopefully I will feed the first roll of film through it this weekend and will see some results next week. I’ll start with an old free roll of jessops film, just as a tester.

These pictures were taken from an ebay advert by greenlife style They have a feedback of 10,600 and may be one of the more reputable places to get a camera like this from.
