About Camera Toss
This is a "technique" group, and the technique here is regarded by some as insanity. For we are the reckless folks on flickr that enjoy the abstract, chance, generative, physical photography that results from throwing our cameras into the air (most often at night in front of varied light sources).

It is about trading risk for reward in the pursuit of art. It is not about being a photographer, it is about enabling the photography that happens naturally when you let go of the process, give up control, and add a hell of alot more variables. It is about physics, gravity, angular momentum, acceleration, direction, chaos, and timing... most of which you have tenuous control of at best!

DEFINING A CAMERA TOSS (and some tips)

  • Hands free. Your hands may not be on the camera during the majority of the exposure. Most often that means throwing it, but there are a few exceptions, you'll just have to be creative.
  • Experimenting with timers and remote triggers highlly encouraged.
  • Good catching skills or construction of camera crash nets/pads/bungees/shells highly suggested for high dollar cameras.
  • For the most dangerous attempts, use of a very cheap digital or disposable film camera suggested, because they are a cheap investment and pretty indestructible.
  • Use of tripods, for reasons of your personal well-being, is highly discouraged. ;)
