>>4460406Composition is indeed something I can work on in these pics, also no coincidence that the concert photos are the only ones with an actual strong subject lol
I like the backlitness of the bike photo to be honest, it's definitely a mainly 'feel' over quality photo, so the technical aspects fall a bit to the wayside.
>>4460412This is true, but where the blobs compromise is in longevity. Arguably this doesn't matter due to price, but I like the idea of being able to use the same camera 20-40 years from now.
In terms of value and technology, the blobs do indeed obliterate every other type of film camera, that is if you *want* autofocus/aperture priority.
>>4460526Glad you like my LX3 work! I think the main thing I've discovered, is that even apart from the digital/film medium, I've become incredibly comfortable with the LX3 to the point that other cameras feel off. I can easily operate on full manual one handed, flash is convenient, and the 24-70 lens is all the focal length I need.
Last year I got a full frame digital, and I still haven't taken a photo on that camera that I'm really proud of, even though theoretically if you only look at specs, that should be easier.
There is a crazy amount of benefit in familiarity with a tool, and a surprising difficulty in switching away from that.
I do like film, and in my editing I've mostly always worked towards the "film look", which despite being misunderstood, and poorly defined is a tangible thing, closest I ever came was with dehancer. Real film feels much more natural than dehancer ever has though, because the look that dehancer gives isn't film, in reality it's a "dehancer look". The experience of using actual film however, definitely feels like stepping into unfamiliar ground, awkward and clumsy, a bit like the first few months of photography, not quite there. I think this will change with practice, but that takes time.
TL;DR I need to git gud.
