resurrect your old film camera! (b&w pics inside)

[caseydog]

One of the things that used to separate the pro form the amateur is that the pro would take ten times as many pictures and through nine out but you still need to use good composition and have a good idea of what you want.

One of the things I love about digital is that I can shoot lots of frames and it doesn't cost me anything, since memory cards are reusable.

When I shoot an auto race, for example, I may shoot 1,500 frames in a day. That would cost a fortune with film.

I also love that I can see a preview on my digital camera, and view a histogram over the preview to make sure my exposure is where I want it. I can even move my shots onto my laptop and see them before I call it a wrap.

In my early days, I had to count on Polaroids for previewing, which sucked, and then wait for my chromes to come back to be sure I got what I wanted.

I think that I read about them somewhere? Popular in the 30's or 40's maybe!
