Notes from astra on shooting at night: flash, film, and what makes a photo of a night out.

• the best camera for flash photography — point-and-shoots, disposables, and your phone: what actually gives you the direct-flash film look, what it costs, and why the camera matters less than the rules.
• the best filters for a night out — the six film looks we ship, what each one is for, and how to make flash photos of your friends look like the night actually felt.

astra is a shared disposable camera for a night: everyone shoots, nobody sees a thing until it develops in the morning. See how it works.
