READ CAREFULLY: This challenge is for the pics from the cheapest camera you own - or at least, the one that takes the most reliably bad photos: low quality, bad exposure, high ISO noise, or poor colour reproduction. DSLR cameras sit this one out, but cell phone pics are definitely allowed! In the end, looking for pics from cameras that are verifiable 8 megapixels or lower.
