I took this with an Ilford disposable camera with HP5 in it. The camera has a shutter speed of about 1/60, and the aperture is about f8. So on a sunny day, the images are about 4 stops overexposed. And this is about 1/3 of the negative. Hence the grain, which, I think, is a neat effect.
Great result from a disposable camera. Put that in your pipe and smoke it Leica snobs :D
 
The grain is perfect, so is the sky. I've got a question. I was wondering if it would make the image stronger if you cropped it at the bottom to a square image? Just above the concrete beam? That beam is drawing my attention away from the digging machine and beautiful sky.
 
@Andrew O'Neill No, I didn't know how to open it without cracking it. I have another of those disposables, so I'll do some research.
 
@TheToadMen Hmmmm. Does the concrete distract, or does it add to the overall feeling of a construction site? Especially with the orange barrel. Maybe I could darken that a little bit. Thanks for the suggestion.
 
And by the way, exposure of the sky was about 120 seconds ....
