On a cold January day in 1986 about 100 press photographers, each with a 600mm lens, gathered at Kennedy Space Flight Center for a routine photo shoot of a shuttle launch. When the launch vehicle got too high for a meaningful photo about 98 of them lowered their cameras and held down the shutter so that the motor drive would blast through the rest of the roll and automatically rewind.

When the space shuttle Challenger exploded only two photographers still had unexposed film in their cameras. One of them was a friend, Michael Brown of the Florida Today newspaper (prototype of USA Today) He had been taught to always save a few frames at the end of the roll "just in case". His photo ran on the front page of about half the daily newspapers in the free world the next day.

So I still almost never shoot those last few frames on a roll. Never had a photo anywhere near his in significance though.

I'd have got a 37 but it was a 24 exposure roll. 😀

When I lived with my parents my "extra" frame was usually a shot of Big Cat.

Please link to photo of Big Cat.

Would love to, but my entire photographic history prior to 2012 was lost in the flood from Superstorm Sandy. 🙁

But in my mind's eye I can still picture Big Cat trying to squeeze into a shoebox half his size...

One last shot, taken too quickly, with focus at the hyperfocal setting of f8 from the previous frame, at almost the right moment, but not quite. Still, it catches a bit of the fun the dog was having chasing snowballs if a bit blurry.

I don't wear the high-waters, but socks with sandals is normal for me... here in Washington! Culturally similar to B.C. I guess 😀

Doug, maybe socks and sandals in Central Washington. I would think in Western Washington it would be rubber boots! 😀

Hmm... starting with Lynn's photo, the sandals now span three former British colonies!

What is left of an old barn I've driven by for twenty years, and it finally succumbed to the elements this last winter.
