My favourite form of self abuse is picking up a pack of 35mm astrophotography prints from the professional developers. Give you some of my favourite examples
*Case No 1/ (all time fav) Stewart picks up photos - (they always look at them before giving them to you) owner of store says "OOOOOOOOOOOOHHH little green men" while gesturing with arms, and making a humorous face.
*Case No.2/ to Barry who had taken small comet shots in " oh here's the little blue dot man"
*Case No.3/ to me on picking up some widefield shots "i was trying to clean all the dust off, but then I realised it was stars" he thought that was hilarious hehe
Then I have lost count of the many looks/expressions on these workers/owners faces we have had to endure for 5 years. Sometimes it was like we were picking up some kind of weird/sick **** photos!!!? i think we would of got a better response LOL
But then one time i had one lady assistant wax lyrical about a simple star trail shot like it was a hubble shot - go figure
