Birth of the money shot

[RicoLouis]

1800’s
A school teacher goes to find her brother who works as a photographer to ask him if he will take a picture of her class, though sells other things on the side since he can’t live on photography alone. She doesn’t find him in his shop so heads back into his studio where she is surprised to find several risguie photos of the saloon girls as well as a few of the more upstanding women of the community.

Her brother comes back having just run to a general store across the street for a second. He finds his sister looking at the pictures and he tells her that most of the women come to him. He jokes that they want him to capture their beauty so they have something to look back on when they or old and gray. His sister jokes that she is half tempted to let him take one of her. Now past what many back then considered proper marrying age. But he says that he could never capture her beauty since his camera doesn’t show color.

Finally she talks him into taking one of her naked. He tells her as he sets everything up that she must remain still for several minutes so to make herself as comfortable as possible and may talk but try not to move her mouth much. He pulls the cap off the camera and takes a seat as he begin to get hard she teases him noticing his erection. She tells him he can jerk off like he used to in the bed across from hers in the room they shared. He begins to, she tells him to get closer so she can see. He gets right on the edge of where he knows the camera is pointing doing a close up shot of her face and breast. After a little bit of time he cums some of it hitting her face and tit and is shocked but his sister remains perfectly still tell him to leave it. He finally goes to put the cap back on and after developing the film he has captured a perfect money shot.

Interesting premise. The problem is the mechanics kind of depend on your writer understanding how old timey cameras worked and then ignoring it when it's important.

I wish you all the luck in the world mind you it's just that it generally takes me out of the story a bit when it has a hard time keeping track of it's own internal logic.

This is a nifty idea! Yes, it depends on knowing a bit about the processes and timelines of 19th century photographic technology. Location is vital timewise, too. Photographers in major cities had access to the latest tech early on. The sit-still-for-a-long-time trope would be anachronistic in 1890 Chicago Illinois, but not in 1890 Flagstaff Arizona.

Do you know about the development of spectral response in the 1860-1890 period? Pre-1870, photo emulsions only captured actinic (UV-violet-blue) light. ALL OTHER COLORS RECORDED AS BLACK! Just like old Xerox copies where yellow highlighter shows as black.

By 1880, green and yellow and maybe orange would register. Panchromatic red-sensitivity only dates from around 1890 IIRC. Of course, those recorded images weren't in color, but at least those colors could be captured in B&W. Playing around with optical filters on a digital camera can reveal what those older emulsions 'saw'. (Digital filters ain't the same.)

I mention all this because I like verisimilitude, and because photos from different early eras have distinctive 'looks' due to those evolving emulsions. A photographer might direct a subject to wear or avoid certain colors -- a woman in 1875 Philadelphia would NOT be shot wearing yellow! These are small details, but I thrive on them.
