Special analog greeting form?

[santino]

I wonder if any of you have ever thought of a special greeting form between analog photographers?

Yesterday I took some shots at a rallye event and a guy close to me had a Eos 33 😀 - now something like a "greeting" would be cool - (maybe not exactly "west coast", but I think classic car drivers {at least in europe} show their thumbs up - a oldtimer greeting).

What do you think? 😎

When I see analog photographers, I beep my bulb horn, the one right over the kerosene headlights, and tip my tophat.

interesting idea but we might get misunderstood in public 😉 😎

I forget who it was...maybe a few years ago on this forum, but a fellow had a bow (similar to the pink cancer bows and yellow bows) but it was done with a roll of film (smaller than 35mm). Would look good in some situations, even as an avatar.

I think a "thumbs-up" works for most everything.:angel:

We who drive old Vespas and old Land Rovers do greet each other when we meet. Or at least the few times I met other masochists on such vehicles, there was some sort of mutual, compassionate greeting 😉

Hold up your right hand with the second and third fingers parted and say, "Live long and prosper."

Wait, that may already be taken.

Maybe "2" ?

Absolutely. It's known as the 'Defender wave'. (Series Land Rovers are accorded the same courtesy, of course.)

Driving a Vespa in Norway ? Great!

Maybe a badge/pin with a cartoon style drawing of Miss Anna Logge?

If anyone ever comes up with such a greeting it's more likely that people will take it as a greeting between fellow idiots.

 

[santino]

fellow idiots are far better than just idiots 😉
anyways, aren't we all idiots to some degree?!? 😀

Back-in-the-day, we would flash our headlamps...

Don't know how that translates to photography!?

This reminds me when I spotted a young lady among her friends sporting a black film Nikon (either FM or FM2) in a mall in Hong Kong. I told her "nice camera" and "I shoot film also" in English while holding up my OM-3. Her face light up, she told me that it's her dad's camera and for that brief moment, we bonded.
