I think it might simply be that the limited number of frames you take with film makes you more selective in your shots. Unless you are processing your own film a 24 frame roll of file will cost upwards of $20 to purchase and process with prints.

When you shoot digital film most of us will maybe take 200+ photos in the same space as we did with the roll of 24

I don’t know about you but culling the photos from a 2 week vacation is a daunting task. Then editing etc. my results from the digital photos is better than I ever got from film.

So the film process is take a few rolls of travel film. Take in for processing. Pull out the keepers. Maybe make an album of 4x6 prints. Maybe get a few enlargements made. Maybe have prints made to give away. You’re done

Digital. Take a few thousand photos. Take them home. Load on computer. Cull or if you prefer edit then cull. Edit. Re-edit. Maybe cull again. Edit. Now maybe you have your final set of photos. Send to Shutterfly. Create a book. Edit the book. Then when I am ready to print the book. Wait for a special. Usually 50% off with unlimited pages and free shipping.

I see 4 hands with fingers spread with an added bonus of one hand has spread fingers with spread on them. Dual purpose

I love our Whirley pop. Makes great pop corn and is easy to use

Chuck

totally agree

chuck

Very good set of photos.

My first 35mm camera was a Petri 7s which I bought from a guy on ship in 1968. He had just purchased an slr and wanted to buy another lens. I used that camera for the rest of the cruise. Next cruise first stop in Japan I bought a minolta srt 101 slr with a 50mm 1.4 lens.

And as they say. The rest is history.

Jules. I always look forward to your shots. They are always sharp and exeude motion.

I was born in 1948. My mind thinks I’m 27. My body doesn’t agree

Chuck

Really nice

Chuck

Yes. I saw two.

Has anyone kept count of the branches mentioned. I’m guessing at Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines and Coastguard

Chuck

US Navy. 1967 to 1970. Aviation storekeeper. Started in VF-121 at Miramar base. San Diego. 6 months later transferred to VF-143 fighter squadron at Miramar. Squadron went on two cruises to Vietnam for a total of 17 months in the war zone off the coast of Vietnam.

Totally agree. With an external hd with 8tb dedicated solely to photos would hold all your current photos and new photos for years to come. I would have a second one for backup

I don’t have much inspiration anymore. I typically am a family event photographer, travel photographer and street photographer. I like zoos. Landscapes and so on.

But not so much anything now that my wife has dementia. We don’t travel much anymore. Crowds and strangers bother her.

I do get my camera out at family events and on local outings but it isn’t the same as it used to be. It doesn’t interest me as much as it used to. I have even thought about selling all my gear but also know I would regret doing that.

Chuck

Do you still have those photos? It would be nice to see a few of them

Chuck

#3 does it for me.
