And somewhere in there we had the 250 exposure back for the Nikon F. Remember, your shots are SOOC. No post-processing of any kind, not even cropping. Those darkroom services were simply not available in SE Asia at the time. That had to wait until I got home. Remember "Bracketing"? FrankC - 20D, RAW, Manual everything...

Remember "Bracketing"? Very well! When shooting out of town for a client, I burned film like crazy because nobody wants to hear that "the dufus in the lab knocked the lid off the developing tank." That would have been "the late dufus"! We all carried guns and were perpetually exhausted. Dufuses tended not to make such mistakes, at least not more than once. More in post #43 here. Let's not forget white balance, too. We were stuck with daylight or incandescent, unless we carried a lot of light balancing filters/gels. Thanks. I forgot about incandescent film. I only shot daylight. And while I still like the "film look", I'm not sorry that we are where we are today, thanks very much! ; ) Me too. I by no means want to go back to the good old days.

Jun 19, 2014 11:23 | #19 Ah, yes, the good old days, when you could still have "one for the road," and when you could still smack your secretary on the tush and she had to pretend to like it. http://www.avidchick.com

Nowhere have I said that the good old days were universally good.

M_Six Cream of the Crop ![]() More info | Jun 19, 2014 12:50 | #23 I was shooting film in the 70's. Pretty much the same deal except I did have a Tamron zoom lens. Still manual focus, though. And I did some pretty nifty PP in the darkroom. Nowhere near what I can do now in Photoshop, but there were certain techniques that were similar. Mark J.

If I have to get shot to shoot film, I'd rather shoot digital. But I don't find limits of film camera systems hampering my creativity. Discard things you can't shoot with it, and shoot the things you can. In fact, I'd (strongly) argue the opposite is true. It is a near truism that limitations enhance creativity.

Alas, that is so often not the case. I don't consider everyone who can press a shutter button a photographer, just as I don't consider everyone who can write a grocery list an author.
