DOTS: Depends On The Situation! Maybe half a "stop" of additional exposure if there's a suspected loss of speed.
A test clip would be advisable if the film images are important. See below.

Depending on the age and speed of the film, at worst, it might take on a slight or even a heavy base fog especially if it's an aged roll 400 ISO or higher or to be developed in a high-energy developer. Back in the day, we might do a film clip, a 6-inch piece of film from the front of the roll in question and develop it normally and compare with a previously normally developed clip. If the clip showed some fog, we used some Edwal Anti-fog solution or Kodak's Anti-fog #1, a tablet that contained 0.45 grain (0.03 grams) of Benzotriazole.

Be well! Ed

Clip testing for film slightly past expiration date doesn't really make sense. Unless the film was stored in unusual hot conditions.

Some people are naturally gifted as photographers and have the ability to capture compelling shots no matter what camera they use. Of course this requires one to understand the limitations of the camera, and find ways to work within those limitations to get the best out of the camera.

Keep in mind, Outdoor Photography has to keep the advertisers happy, which includes camera and lens manufacturers. Right now, several of the camera manufacturers are aggressively promoting their mirrorless camera models and trying to get customers to abandon perfectly working DSLR cameras in favor of buying a new camera system.

When selecting an aperture setting, sweet spot is the least thing I think about.

I suspect many photographers simply don't know how to use fill flash effectively and don't want to take the time to learn it.

Dust and dirt, even a minuscule amount, is unacceptable.


If it is not noticeable in the captured images, it is acceptable.

The trick is to not apply the film simulation effect at full 100%, but to mix it with the original image just enough such that the effect doesn't appear absurdly exaggerated.

TSA agents don't react kindly to demands. If they don't like your attitude, they will give you a hard time.

And the next question should be, why do so many photographers change lenses while standing? Especially while standing on a concrete floor? A recipe for disaster!

When I give talks to travel groups about photography I alway recommend Diaper bags. They are usually water proof, lots of pockets and padded. I also tell them to put a baby bottle (filled with water) in one of the visible outside pockets to add to the diaper realism vs camera bag.
My favorite everyday camera bag is an Orvis fishing reel bag. like this one. I have used it now for over 40 years and still going strong. https://www.ebay.com/itm/334512398480?hash=item4de27e2090:g:1UkAAOSwJCZi3akh

And maybe a pacifier dangling on the outside of the bag to complete the deception.

I don't waste much time thinking about who or what to blame. Learn how to work your camera, and it will give you great pictures.

Having lived in Japan for 32 years, I can guarantee that there is no disagreement, since it is based on two characters with precise sylabic pronunciations. To first is "bo" and the second is "ke". It is extremely simple, but there are two things that make it very difficult for English speakers. The first is that the two syllables are pronounced with equal weight, which almost never happens in English, in which almost all words stress one syllable.

The second is that English rarely has pure vowel sounds, as most English vowels are diphthongs, in which two pure vowel sounds are combined. For example English A is a combination of the pure sounds of e and i, and I a combination of the sounds for a and I. The pure sounds for a, e, i, o, u are ah, eh, ee, oh and ooh (as in dock, every, evil, oval and do).

So the correct Japanese pronunciation is boh keh, with very short syllables, in case anyone cares about how the originators of the term pronounce it...

But Americans and Brits are famous for "anglicizing" words of foreign derivation. I remember when I was editing for NBC in Tokyo, and I stopped the correspondent recording her track to correct her pronunciation of karaoke, which she pronounced “carry okie“. I pointed out the correct pronunciation is "kah rah okay", but she said that if she pronounced it that way, nobody in America would know what she was talking about 😂

If just for the sake of learning the editing process, it doesn't really matter if the image file is jpeg, tiff, raw or whatever format. The concepts are the same.

I had that very problem with a used Nikon pocket camera I bought several years ago. Most likely the previous owner dropped the camera, damaging the lens retracting mechanism, which then causes the camera to periodically freeze up, show error message and shut down.
