Yeah, I can't do astrophotography very well, but my shots on film are a lot more considered.
- pathartl 4y agoI have practically no creative bone in my body but have always been drawn to photography due to my parents being photographers their whole life. I've started using their film equipment because yeah, 12 shots on a roll of 120 film means you have to think before you hit that button.
- dingaling 4y agoA similar mindset can be achieved by only shooting in Manual mode on a DLSR ( and no cheating with Auto-ISO ). After a while you can pre-guess the exposure settings for a particular shot before even looking through the viewfinder, but point the camera a few degrees to the side and you have to reset your exposure for the new lighting. It's frustrating for the first few years and initially you'll miss many shots but when you nail The Shot you feel that you really 'own' it because everything leading to it was your decision. Eventually it becomes second-nature and you'll be spinning the settings dials without conscious effort.
