@SlaterLemley @nev_in_color Dude that one with the seagulls is so damn good.

@heswithfilm Dude what a view.

Searching for the angle vs finding the angle

[Peter Stout @peter_jeffrey_]

@SlaterLemley 🙏🙏 haha good times man!

[Peter Stout @peter_jeffrey_]

@full_duplex Oh definitely. I think it speaks more to my workflow than the actual medium. I’ll typically take an iPhone video that I tweak right then to match what it really looks like, and when I get scans back try to match it to that.

[Peter Stout @peter_jeffrey_]

Film vs. digital. Colors are craaaazy different.

[Peter Stout @peter_jeffrey_]

@alyc_writes @toomanycameras Interesting, why couldn’t you learn exposure on digital? Or was it the fact that film essentially forced you to?

[Peter Stout @peter_jeffrey_]

I’m curious who is new to photography and is starting off on film? 🧐

[Peter Stout @peter_jeffrey_]

@kailebcarr Same! Personally I think learning to compose took much longer than learning the digital camera and the exposure triangle.

[Peter Stout @peter_jeffrey_]

@RyanYero Yeah, I think that’s quickly becoming a theme - digital cameras are just inherently much more complicated, especially to someone new.

I’m not sure I would have continued if I started on film. Even after years of digital, I remember my first roll of film (400h). Hot garbage.

[Peter Stout @peter_jeffrey_]

@toomanycameras Throw in the forgiveness of color negative and a lab scan and you’ve significantly reduced the issues of metering.

[Peter Stout @peter_jeffrey_]

@toomanycameras Huh yeah, I mean you’re right. It is a load to pick up. Throw editing on top of it, and it’s significantly compounded.

[Peter Stout @peter_jeffrey_]

@toomanycameras I’m curious if learning on something like a Fuji XT2, which is set up like a film SLR, would have changed that perspective.

[Peter Stout @peter_jeffrey_]

@OfficialNateG Y’all are nuts! This is where I think a digital camera helps to learn really quickly. Full manual with instant feedback on digital is such a quick ramp up.

[Peter Stout @peter_jeffrey_]

@toomanycameras This is mind blowing. I couldn’t imagine trying to learn to meter AND compose with the right light all at once.
