My mum had her finger on the lens for all summit photos she took of me.

I still love her, though.

The frustration, it's hard to summit up.

Infuriating?? That’s adorable!! One day you might really appreciate that finger in that shot when you think back on your mum.

That's a great point. I appreciate all of the blurry pictures from my late mother-in-law.

Think of the thumb as a little ghost of your mum. Making her part of the photo and the moment.

My mom's phone is full of videos of her saying "oh shit" because she meant to take a photo. I really need to make a backup of those for when she's gone.

My dad practices the guitar every morning. Has since he was in the army.

I’ve been recording him on the sly, for morbid reasons.

Do it!!! I had 1 recording of my moms voice on her iPhone. Then someone stole the phone. I wish so badly that I could hear her voice, it’s been 10yrs and I’ve forgotten what she sounded like.

You could remove that in post.

Surely I can do that, but I was still mildly infuriated.

Oh yeah I get that. I just meant that the pictures are salvageable!

Samsungs object eraser did a good job at cleaning them up in about a minute

Was it bright? I've noticed I tend to do this when it's bright and I can't see the phone screen well as a result.

Use stable diffusion generative fill via Google colab to fix it for free and probably spend the next few weeks using it for hours and hours. Enjoy.

Sounds interesting. Any links or good guides on how to do that or how to get started with stable diffusion?

Those are super easy to fix. Even the Google eraser could fix those easily.

you could also just crop it out in most of them

That used to be mildly infuriating for me but I've been playing with a few photo AI tools and that stuff is easy to fix

By now you can just download a one-click setup for local stable diffusion, wait for it to install, and use the inpainting feature, don't even need proper image editing software.

Quite lucky, my mom used to cut our heads off on pics !

Where is this? Looks familiar, but then again a lot of summits do.

This is in South Tyrol in Italy :)

Thanks, I thought it was in Tirol, Austria near Sölden. Close, but no sigar.

She wanted to be on tghe puctures too. I would be more concerned that she's given your faces the Japanese Testicle treatment.

No worries. Op uploaded their mom fingerprints on the internet as a revenge.

That’s not mildly infuriating; that’s horrible and super infuriating!
I’m sorry :(
