Shot film for 3 months then went back to digital — what actually stuck with me?
Digital’s convenience is undeniable, but shooting film for three months forced me to slow down and actually *see* my shots. The biggest takeaway? I’m way more deliberate with composition now—no chimping, no spray-and-pray.
Turns out, the limitations made me better. My keeper rate’s up, and I’m not constantly tweaking settings mid-shoot. Anyone else feel like film taught you more about photography than years of digital? What’s your biggest lesson from switching formats?
