Makes digital look really good when you see those types of figures!
Man... I was constantly asked by people why I would take about 12 shots of
the same scene but with slight changes in each shot :-( ... It,s nothing
compared to those 1000 shots a day... but it is all about trying to capture
that 1 unique image that stops you and makes you say "WOW!"
I know films not cheap (especially when you use good quality slide film and
processing) but if I find something I like, I will shoot it to death. Even
if I get one good shot back, its been worth it for me any way!
Cheers Adam
