Four shades of grey, 128 by 112 pixels

Placeholder test card 02

The Game Boy Camera came out in 1998. It took tiny photos in four shades of grey, and everything came out grainy, dithered and slightly haunted.

Magazines used to run galleries of readers’ prints every month. This is mine. Every photo here goes through the same treatment the camera gave them.

Placeholder test card 01

WINNER!

Pride of place for the best snap of the month. Swap this test card for it, and give it the caption it deserves.

Placeholder test card 03

A test card from the bottom of a drawer in Essex. Swap it for a real snap.

Placeholder test card 04

This one has been staring at us all week. Nobody knows why.

Placeholder test card 05

Checks, rings and a big number. Not its best angle, but it’ll do for now.

Placeholder test card 06

A quiet test card that would rather be a face.

Placeholder test card 07

All diagonals. It looked better on the screen, honest.

Placeholder test card 08

A spotlight and a number. Somebody, somewhere, will call this art.

Placeholder test card 09

Holding the spot until something stranger turns up.

Placeholder test card 10

The checks are back. We’re starting to see patterns.

Placeholder test card 11

Ripples, presumably from a very small pond.

Placeholder test card 12

Ten out of ten for effort. Swap it in the editor.

Placeholder test card 13

Leaning slightly, like all the best prints.

Placeholder test card 14

Lit like a police interview. Replace with care.

Placeholder test card 15

Unlucky for some, mostly for this test card.

Placeholder test card 16

Still no faces. Point a camera at someone, please.

These two arrived as a pair and won’t be split up.
