Notes on photography

Warning, slight self-indulgence ahead



Since I've been shooting film often for the last few months I've noticed something happening with my photo habits:

On the street I shoot a lot with digital if I'm looking to capture action and it is all I have to hand, but I end up discarding most of the shots because they're so blurry or have blown-out highlights. When I shoot with film I'm more cautious but quick with it and it seems to pay off more often.

When I'm shooting other stuff I'm more careful about composition. This is due to shooting a ton of shit and then being disappointed with the prints, which add up when you develop five rolls in one day. This is making even my digital composition generally better thought out.
