In the days of film cameras, a thumb picture was devastating. You not only paid for a picture of a digit, but a picture was lost. Now, I take 20 to 30 times as many pictures of events. I don’t lose pictures anymore, and thumb pictures have become something of a joke for me in the 365-day photo challenge. This would be my third picture of my thumb. One of my right thumbs shared and two of my left thumb. I do have other older pictures of my thumb that I had to pay for. The development places would later change those rules at the end of the film. Then you pay for the pictures taken that you liked. But in the early days of film, you paid for all of them!
I like the digital picture taking more!
Anyone can join the photo challenge. Take the 365-day photo challenge Thumb Picture Challenge and post a picture of your thumb!
That’s an interesting topic.
What was most interesting to you when you read the piece?
I used to deliberately place thumbs into my raytraces for verisimilitude
Interesting. I won’t argue that simulating the truth isn’t the truth, but once again you made me smile!
Everything I make is on some level a lie, so my only sin is failing to lie convincingly…
That pal is a wonderful explanation! You should run for office 🙂
that was for my Non Serviam thread, wasn’t it?
Amazing to learn so many details Doc. I love digital.
It is amazing to me looking back at what you can do now with a camera.
True, and great points to ponder. I did not take many pictures back then.
My dad was a phtog back in the day. He took pictures of everything. I have a lot, except for my Grandfather’s slides, those were lost sadly (scanned to digital, but my Uncle’s hard drive died)
Mine was too, arent we lucky? Sorry about the slides..
The bad thing is they (the lost pictures) were from an entire side of the family. I do still, however, have all the family videos (that were filmed then) digitized. So I have something of what was.
