Even today, it's frankly not that different for me on a DSLR. I rarely use the rear monitor in the field, except to tag photos during sports. It's still just "this is working" or "this isn't working," but I don't *really* know until on a computer looking at each frame.
I shot film in college, then my first 2 years at newspapers. I'd already know ahead of time if I had a good sequence in my roll, but the big question was if there was a singular frame in there, where the composition, lighting, and emotion came together.
One thing I hadn’t thought about, in terms of the mechanics of film photography, is you have no idea until you develop these that you had just dunked from the foul line. How crazy did a newsroom go when one of their boys got one of these developed

Makes me tired and awed just to think about it… An Ellensburg mountaineering duo conquered Washington's 100 tallest peaks in a single season – with a cycling add-on to make it extra hard, but climate-friendly: https://t.co/TdyAzb1eLB #BulgerList#PNW
Love that they focused on George, who FA'd a bunch of climbing routes in the 1960's at Smith Rock, and at 87 still volunteers his time with the Mazamas. A living legend!
