I've been issued a challenge from my Project 52 Pros group to shoot a roll of film this month--24 carefully composed and thought out photos. The goal is to get us to slow down and think more carefully about our images rather than "spraying and praying" (as some of us admittedly do with digital). The challenge was optional, and originally I had decided to opt out because I am soooooo $!@& busy--I hardly have time to do my regular old digital photo assignments as it is.
But…the more I read about the challenge and the purposes behind it, the more I think I need to do this.
I don't even know where to start. I've gotta find someplace to buy film and a battery for my old Minolta 35mm.
Color or black and white?
And to be locked into one ISO for the entire roll is such a foreign concept to me these days!
I may be shooting on auto too. I'm such a chimper--I can often make pretty good guesses about where my settings need to be, but I always get feedback from my LCD. This could be interesting. Or disastrous. We'll see.
So…where do you buy film these days?
