I compulsively take pictures of the sky, same never to be looked at
- bluGill 1y agoTaking pictures is important to getting better. Be glad that each one doesn't cost $.30 in film like it would have in 1980 - not inflation adjusted (prices from memory so perhaps off a bit). That is just the cost of the film you used, if you want to look at the negative you have development costs, and even more costs to get a print. Today you don't have to worry about costs of a photo and so can take a lot of them without worry will it be good, if it is bad just learn from the mistake and throw it away.
- fragmede 1y agoBLS says $0.30 is $1.25 today. Each roll was like 30 pictures too (24, but I like round numbers), so like her $30 a roll? https://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl?cost1=.30&year1=198001&year2=202509 https://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl?cost1=.30&year1=1980...
- bluGill 1y agoI'm going from memory, but I recall that both 25 and 36 picture rolls were common and there were some 12 picture rolls. (maybe 15?) And of course there were a number of different sizes - 110, 120, 35mm, disc, each with different sizes and costs. (more film sizes at the professional level as well, but your local drug store had all of the above)

- a012 1y agoI take pictures of the sky, not to post it somewhere immediately but it’s like documentary captures for later years looking back
