- ir77 2y agoi don't know how old you/your moms are, but chances are that even if you're younger your moms' mom probably did that because she was taking pictures with something like kodachrome 64 than unless you're in the sun it ended up having 0 shadow detail. so it was better to have a least a squinting picture of a kid than have half their face be complete darkness.
- alistairSH 2y agoDepending on the camera and film she had, she might not have been totally wrong. Or, at minimum, this likely allowed a higher "keep" rate for shots without futzing about with the ISO setting, exposure compensation, or anything else (which might not have been available if she was using a basic P&S).
