Re: I squinted too. They always made me look into the sun and took ages to set

Hi Kabu! After looking into the super nova of those old flash bulbs, the sun wasn't so bad, except we were now conditioned to squint in front of any camera.

I had forgot about those huge flash bulbs! How technology has progressed! I don't think I could have gone through a lifetime with those! I remember squinting, too! sam

Re: BC-A

Hi bill! If I had the right equipment I wouldn't have had to squint.

Hi hardilaziz! I think you are right, but my dad is not accepting it.

Squint is better than putting a dead pan face in front of the camera!

Very funny!!  I too remember those walnut-sized bulbs; they'd bubble and swell after flashing and man those things were HOT!  I never squinted, but for some reason I was always the one who had to remove and replace the bulb.....Mal
