I ignored what my camera told me to do, and film photography taught me why I was right. Bonus: this post includes a practical exercise to train your eye and help you get there as well.
Excellent breakdown of how film forces intentionality. The film border trick is underrated—seeing consistent density across frames is basicaly proof of solid metering from camera, not post-processing wizardry. I tried a simillar digital challenge last year and realized how much I'd been leaning on fix-it-later mentality.
Nice! Thanks for your comment. It’s rare to see someone in our field enjoying analog stuff. And I say our field because I work as a principal cloud technologist in the biggest cloud provider. You know which ☺️
