    I'm here to do two things: not read articles, and make ignorant comments based on not reading articles

    and I'm almost out of articles to not read

      They used a flash that was single-use. When the flash triggered, it burned out and the mechanism rotated. A cube has 4 sides.

      So the numbering on the film is irrelevant then?

        1991? I took a fake photo of Nessie in 1984, and I’m certain I wasn’t the first.

        No footage of Nessie will ever be found … because in 1991 the dude … admitted that it was a hoax.

            No joke! Lots of details in the article, it’s worth a look. The cameras were also rigged via tripwire to hopefully only activate when Nessie physically disturbed them!

              Yeah, but Nessie has been folklore for longer than such an animal could possibly have lived. I have great great great great grandparents from the area, and it was older than them. People have been faking photographs since the photograph was invented. Before that people painted pictures or did charcoal sketches.

                When was the off? Motherfucker has been daily news, even during biden's term. Fucking news can't stand a day with out him. He was right about at least one thing: he's good for ratings.

                I'm so fucking tired

                  The picture he took was from the 60's; he just confessed it was bullshit in 91.

                    An underwater camera set up 55 years ago to try and photograph the Loch Ness Monster has been found by accident by a robot submarine.

                    The ocean-going yellow sub - called Boaty McBoatface - was being put through trials when its propeller snagged the mooring for the 1970s camera system.

                    It is believed it was lowered 180m (591ft) below the loch's surface by the Loch Ness Investigation Bureau, a group set up in the 1960s to uncover the existence of Nessie in the waters.

                    No footage of Nessie has been found on the camera, but one of the submarine's engineers was able to develop a few images of the loch's murky waters.

                        Kind of puts a pin in Nessie then, if we can find a small camera lost 55 years ago but not a giant animal.

                                Personally I'm betting on Nessie having camouflage skills like an octopus, and instead of squirting ink they can create the equivalent of an underwater dust cloud. That would absolutely explain these photos.

                                  You can't call a ship a boat. Shippy McShipface would've been a different topic. Or maybe Chippy McShipface?

                                      Isn’t it best practice to develop film as soon as possible after taking a picture. Surely the undeveloped picture would have degraded after 55 years?

                                      Technically yes, but in favourable condition the film can persist for pretty long time. People have developed films that had been sitting in a camera/cartridge for literally a century and gotten decent results.

                                          To be fair, this camera was put in the water in the 1970s...
