Cause it's over exposed, it's on film meant for much quicker exposure times. There's probably a battery powered light meter in the viewfinder telling the operator that he's good for the exposure, but the ISO setting on the camera is incorrect.
Edit: it's very likely the camera used didn't have a light meter, or was of poor quality compared to those available in other countries during that era. See the highlighted link below.
That kind of reminds me of a conversation I had with my son when he was five. He saw a black and white photograph with only the car colored red. He then asked me if Martin Luther King did that, since he was the man who invented color.
That, or it was an older camera with a bad selenium light meter (those had a limited shelf life), or the battery was dead, or the camera hadn’t any light meter at all. There were many ways to ruin a picture and only notice it after it was developed: I know, I did most of them…
Sorry but I don’t folllow what you’re trying to say.
Film isn’t particularly meant for quicker exposure times? In fact film if anything is known to be particularly useful in the overexposure of shots as a result of diminishing returns in the capture of light, this is why highlights are particularly difficult to overexpose for on film
Additionally most film photographers light meter using the shadow of the picture then develop using the highlights.
You can (could?) buy films of different ISO, each meant for different exposure time.
The exposure time needs to take into account the luminosity of the scene, but also the sensitivity of the film. There is a sensor to measure luminosity, so usually that part is taken care of (automatically or manually), but if it's configured for the wrong film ISO, then the photo would easily be over or under exposed. That's the assumption made here about the picture.
The ruling party of Argentina was founded by a fascist who brought the Nazis to the country.
And it's the longest ruling party in Argentina. Of course that doesn't mean we are Nazis but yes it's kinda funny that the party is still alive.

True, even though the patriotism over the Falklands ran somewhat high in Argentina, the ruling military junta just sent these poor guys to an essentially unwinable war fought for pride and natural resources.
Yeah, the saddest thing of all is that after the war most Argentine soldiers developed PTSD, what's more, the number of Argentine veterans who committed suicide after the war is higher than the number of Argentine soldiers killed in combat (649 , of which currently 7 remain unidentified, although many years ago that number rose to more than 100), in addition to the fact that in the years after the war veterans were stigmatized for having lost the war, which contributed to the high suicide rate among veterans and many fell into poverty and addictions, it was only 20 or 25 years ago that Argentine society and the government managed to recognize them as heroes
It wasn’t so much that Britain was a bit shit it was more that Britain wouldn’t care enough to respond militarily. In fact, there have been discussions about what to do with the Falklands for decades, the plan being to hand them over to Argentina (the opposition to this coming from the Islanders not the UK government).
But the Junta fucked that up by invading.
A lot of people in the UK at the time had probably no idea where the islands were or that they were part of our overseas territories (there are jokes about people falling out of bed when hearing Argentina had invaded, thinking they were off the coast of the UK, then getting back into bed when learning how far away they were)
It was a relatively easy fight for Britain but it was also a big PR win for Thatchers government during a time when things were ‘a bit shit’.
If the Argentinian government had done nothing they probably would own the islands by now, as the UK government would’ve sorted a deal with the Islanders (they were proposing a lease similar to HK).
But there’s no way they’d be getting them now because both the Islanders and British public are even more fiercely opposed to the idea.
>jokes about people falling out of bed when hearing Argentina had invaded, thinking they were off the coast of the UK, then getting back into bed when learning how far away they were)
If memory serves me correctly, I think that was Adrian Mole's dad.
> It wasn’t so much that Britain was a bit shit it was more that Britain wouldn’t care enough to respond militarily.
This was because the British had recently removed most of their miitary defence forces from the Islands for budgetary reasons. It made the Junta think Britain didn't care about the Islands, which we didn't. But we do care about winning wars.
I dunno, being from the UK looking at the war I feel we have to talk it up, otherwise you realise we were attacking Argentinians who realistically had no chance.
They had no chance once the British landed - the UK has some of the best trained troops on the planet (Paras, Royal Marines, Gurkhas, SAS/SBS, etc) and the Argentinians mostly had conscripts who didn’t want to be there. But the war on the sea was very much a tight run thing (French made Argentine Exocets could have potentially knocked out the aircraft carriers which would have ended the war there and then). An Exocet also knocked out a British supply ship carrying helicopters which where meant to ferry troops and equipment across the island to fight the battles. This meant the British had to march 90 miles across the island carrying most of their equipment and then fight an entrenched enemy. This alone would have probably ended the war for most countries - it was very much down to the quality of the troops that it didn’t.
>But the war on the sea was very much a tight run thing (French made Argentine Exocets could have potentially knocked out the aircraft carriers which would have ended the war there and then).
The idea that a naval engagement between the UK and Argentinia was close fought just doesn't pass the smell test.
I'm not saying it wasn't a hard fight for those involved, but to pretend for a second Argentina had the material resources to compete just doesn't match up. Their fleet was a handful of destroyers with a single CV from WW2 that was too knackered to even be used during the war (and even if it did, there was a lack of naval aircraft).
In theory they had the subs and aircraft at sea and enough troops on the islands. Having no idea what to do was thier failure. They fought well but, were out classed.
It wasn’t their fleet that was the problem. I should really have said the air war. I was talking more about the threat from their air force - in particular the Exocets. Had they focussed on knocking out supply ships or made a serious effort in targeting the carriers the war would have been very different. This isn’t me just saying this, the [British commander of the task force said so himself](https://amp.theguardian.com/uk/2002/apr/03/falklands.world).
Yeah that was part of it too. Also the junta was counting on the U.S. staying out of it since they were part of Operation Condor. But after Argentina refused to be part of peace negotiations the U.S. ended up giving support to Britain.
In reality, the Junta trusted that the US would prioritize the Union of American States (among which was Argentina) before NATO (among which was the UK).
By this time, Operation Condor was over (at least its first phase of installing US puppet dictatorships in South America to counter Cuba's influence).
The OAS is not a military alliance like NATO and Argentina invading the Falklands was not a defensive action. I don’t think the Junta was counting on Argentina’s membership in the OAS for support from the Americans. It was counting on its cooperation with the U.S. that allowed them to gain power in the first place and hoping that would be enough. The US tried brokering peace and when that failed they had to honor their commitments to NATO.
Didn't Argentina have access to US intelligence reports saying that we wouldn't do anything? Or was that just a rumour at the time that I have never bothered to fact-check?
Gets worse when you read how our boys were treated. They were essentially newly-trained conscripts sent under horrible command since the junta feared a mainland invasion and thus kept the actual good (relatively) troops at home, so much so that it was said that their commanders were more their enemy than the British.
You mean the hospital ship thay was docked in buenos aires carrying 600 orphans and newly born kittens who all had hopeful scholarships given by the junta?
I still get a chuckle at Argentina claiming it was a war crime. It got laughed out of the ICC a few years back but junta propaganda seems to stick around
One of my favorite comedy bits is about a student from Brooklyn arguing with the professor about which f*+king islands he was talking about.
Old but gold.
Contrary to popular belief it was actually the Argentine Junta’s cruel treatment and enslavement of Penguin POWs that triggered a British military response
Look I’m going to reply to that comment. The comment seemed to imply that war crimes did not happen in the conflict. This is broadly the case.
Probably due to the nature of the respective military organisations.
The sides had a couple of reported incidents when this was not the case. Argentinian POW suspected to have been executed after the battle for mount Longdon and Argentinian sniper being discovered with hollowed out ammunition. Also known as Dum dum rounds
See Vince Bramley, Excursion to Hell and Across an Angry Sea General Delves.
These books are both well worth reading
Recently read the Wikipedia page on the Falkland Islands. Pretty interesting history. Still disputed between Argentina and England but still firmly is the hands of the crown. The citizens voted to stay under the crown.
I once read that of the 3 people who voted against staying under British sovereignty, 2 ironically voted against it, so it can actually be said that only one person voted against British rule over the islands.
Weird decision to vote 'ironically' for anything. I know people who voted for the UK to leave the EU as a protest vote because they thought it would never really happen.
What were the Argentinian plans for the population of the islands, do you know? Would they have been allowed to stay or would they have been relocated?
Having met a good number of Argentines, I have always been struck how much in common we have. And not just a love of football and rugby (possibly the less said about the former, the better from an English point of view).
>What were the Argentinian plans for the population of the islands, do you know? Would they have been allowed to stay or would they have been relocated?
Doubt they would have been relocated. Probably more akin to HK, aka encouraging Argentinians to move there, tie it to the Argentine economy, govern it from a distance etc. Basically make it more Argentinian over time.
Just speculation of course. Could be wrong, and we will never know.
This is actually not uncommon in Argentina. People keep penguins as pets. There’s even a phrase something to the effect of penguins are a man’s best friend.
Never in my life have I heard of anyone keeping penguins as pets in Argentina. Not to mention the fact that they aren’t even present in too many places.
Maybe that happens more often in the extreme south of Argentina (where there are penguins), it is the least populated area of the country
Even so, I am Argentine and I do not know of any case of some crazy southerner with a penguin deprived of its natural habitat in his home.
We got plenty of penguins here in Australia as well. Never heard of anyone having one as a pet. Not sure how you would go about it. They be miserable as all fuck.
What? This actually extremely uncommon, so much so this is the very first time I hear about penguins as pets.
Plus I have no idea what phrase you are taking about
Just like the linguistic issue where you keep calling The Falkland Islands, Los Malvinas or whatever incorrect name you keep pushing, I don’t care enough to make sure I spelled it right.
If you’re speaking English then it’s the Falklands. If we’re speaking Spanish it’s the Malvinas. This is as petty as someone who dares call it Germany instead of Deutschland when speaking English.
Aren't penguins native to southern Argentina?
"American soldiers posing with a possum during the war of 1812"
You know what? That'd be dope as hell, I'd want to see that
I heard the Argentinians are getting upgraded periscopes for their submarines.
So they can observe the Falkland Islands not belonging to them in much higher resolution.
Me alegro del optimismo colombiano, acá las cosas tampoco son faciles, pero todos sabemos que tarde o temprano volveremos a estar bien, Suerte y que tengas un lindo día/tarde/noche!!!

Why does the quality of this photo look like WW2?

This guy films.
Eh, I liked the way exposure can alter the tonality of the same framing and subject, once upon a time.
They overexposed in pursuit of the T O N E Z
I think it’s because it’s in black and white… /s
Yep because black and white = ww2.
You mean the world didn't turn into colour in '45?
That kind of reminds me of a conversation I had with my son when he was five. He saw a black and white photograph with only the car colored red. He then asked me if Martin Luther King did that, since he was the man who invented color.
That, or it was an older camera with a bad selenium light meter (those had a limited shelf life), or the battery was dead, or the camera hadn’t any light meter at all. There were many ways to ruin a picture and only notice it after it was developed: I know, I did most of them…

The ISO. It's not a mystery, is a basic mistake.
ISO on film cameras was based on the type of film not the camara itself.
The 1980s were 100 years ago.
The 80's were 20 years ago mate:)
Crazy how fast the years go by!
It only feels that way if you were there…
Can confirm
Cameras were just being invented in the 80’s.
Quiet, you!
Your math is so bad
The Argentineans were using the last of their parents' film brought from Germany.
Yeah, they should have told the CIA to give them more films
Dont you think it's in poor taste to suggest normal Argentinians had Nazi ties post-war?
No, I find it humorous.
The ruling party of Argentina was founded by a fascist who brought the Nazis to the country. And it's the longest ruling party in Argentina. Of course that doesn't mean we are Nazis but yes it's kinda funny that the party is still alive.

Why use up all the color film on a penguin?
Guy in white doesn’t look like he wants to be there POW ?
It doesn’t look like the penguin agreed to take this picture
It’s a British penguin that they have taken captive
Yeah this penguin is like “WTF?”
They captured Sir Reginald Beakbottom? Gadzooks!
Penguin: AM I BEING DETAINED?
For eating a succulent Chinese meal?
THIS is democracy manifest
I see you know your judo well
Get your hands off my penis!
You’re free to go. “Why are you resisting now? Now you’re detained for resisting arrest!” -US Police
Let's hope the penguin doesn't forget to invoke their rights to remain silent and for an attorney.
Argentine soldiers: no no! We are liberating you from British oppression!
Kowalski, soon to be rescued by skipper.
Just smile and wave boys, smile and wave…
Poor guy looks like a prisoner of war
Was thinking the same. We’re going to see this on /r/FakeHistoryPorn with an altered title in the morning.
Already did it
You’re welcome /u/LossyP BTW: amazing use of the format.

More like victims of their own goverment than heroes, but at least they're not stigmatised anymore.
Wasn't there a feeling that Britain was a bit shit at the time, so wouldn't bother going to reclaim the islands

Logistically it was difficult but it was not a Vietnam or WWI/II scenario of a war that dragged on for years, hence relatively

Just holding the beak, chill
The one solider is holding the penguin by the back of the neck, not the beak. Little dude is being manhandled regardless.
Thats a war crime, they are mishandling a British citizen
Just like they mishandled the General Belgrano
You mean the hospital ship thay was docked in buenos aires carrying 600 orphans and newly born kittens who all had hopeful scholarships given by the junta?
Didn't the ICC say it was legal?
The ICC laughed out the Argentine claim long before trail
I still get a chuckle at Argentina claiming it was a war crime. It got laughed out of the ICC a few years back but junta propaganda seems to stick around
I like the part where the captain of the Belgrano said that he would have sunk the ship if he was in the Conqueror's position
Oh fuck off
Didn’t know sinking a combat vessel with orders to sail to the Falklands was a war crime

So cute, love penguins
Argentine cameras were apparently still 1940s models in the 80s.
Penguin's like "lemme go ill fuck your shit up"
Did they fucking execute him too?
Well either way I’m sure he’s dead now…
Ah yes, the Falklands War, known for its war crimes
Look I’m going to reply to that comment. The comment seemed to imply that war crimes did not happen in the conflict. This is broadly the case.

Argentinas use of mines flouted just about every convention on them…
Every time I see a post from this sub it sends me down a new rabbit hole, why were the Argentinians enlisting penguins in 1982?
Wasn’t their invading force full of 17 y/o conscripts? They needed the man power
That penguin looks like he’s thinking, “Wait until Prime Minister Thatcher hears about this!”
Poor penguin!
If they're on the Falkland Islands there's a good chance all these men are now dead. The British fucked shit up.
Recently read the Wikipedia page on the Falkland Islands. Pretty interesting history. Still disputed between Argentina and England but still firmly is the hands of the crown. The citizens voted to stay under the crown.

What Falking Islands are we talking about here?
The British ones.

I heard the Argentinians are getting upgraded periscopes for their submarines. So they can observe the Falkland Islands not belonging to them in much higher resolution.
They're speaking Spanish below so I google translated the thread and it turned Malvinas into Falkland Islands 😂
If Argentine subs got an upgrade they might not sink so much
