Step 1
Buy an underwater disposable camera for times when you'll be in or even near water: in the ocean, in or near a pool, while skiing or even in the rain. These cameras are waterproof up to a certain depth, and their hard plastic casing makes them durable enough for even small children to use.

Step 2
Purchase a panoramic disposable camera when you want to take photos of wide subjects. This type of camera is tailor-made for that city skyline, mountain range or farm acreage that you just have to capture. It is also useful for taking shots of the long table at a church picnic or photos of your child's entire baseball team.

Step 3
Choose a disposable camera with or without a flash for outdoor use. In bright sunlight, you probably will not want to use the flash, except for "fill in" lighting when subjects' faces are shadowed by hats or backlit by the sun at their backs. However, on overcast days or when the sun is rising or setting, you should experiment with using the camera's flash feature.

Step 4
Select a camera with a film speed that is made for the outdoors. Remember: the faster the film speed, the higher the number. Choose a faster film speed like 800 if the day is bright and your subjects will be moving, like during a sporting event. Lower film speeds work better during early mornings and late afternoons.

Step 1
Clean the lens if it comes in contact with dirt, dust or your fingers. Also, keep the lens dry on a waterproof camera unless you are using it underwater. Otherwise, droplets of water will obscure photos the same way dirt on the lens will.
-
Step 2
Angle your subjects away from the sun or any other bright outdoor light source. This will keep them from squinting in your photos.
