Enlightened
Before they started putting cameras into knives and forks, and fingernails and microwaves and very cleverly hidden in any sear pin, I was taking pictures in the dark with film.
Depending on what action, or clarity, depth of field, I wanted to capture, I could telescope, adjust aperture, shutterspeed, and choice of film, and ISO settings. I miss it. Due to my economy then, most of my work was B&W, self-developed lots of film in a can in a lightroom/darkbag, and made hardly any prints because that's when it got expensive, for photo-paper. Wasted paper on contact sheets. I thought that was a good idea. WASTED. Should rather have made prints. I still cherish the ones I did make. When I got a little more dough, I moved to color, gave up self-developing, fell in love with saturation and positive slide film, the control positive gives you, but in negative film lost the freedom you have when making choices with composing your own prints.
I am happy I still have a nice Nikon SLR, and that great negative & positive 35mm film still exists, should I need to compose somthing or be inspired. I do not have a digital SLR. I'm not using film anymore.
I take a lot of photos with digital non-SLR, the kind of cams that are in everything else.
In digital we have so many gains... I took a picture of a constellation with my phone.
But, without SLR control of shutterspeed and aperture, are there techniques to get back the control of what I want to do in the dark, subtle light, with the touch-screen white-point auto-adjust screen-tapping?
I want to take some pictures of the backscatter of flashlight beam profiles in different medium/air.
With film, I could do this wonderfully. I don't have the reasources.
Any new techniques discovered with the awesome supercameras ineveryphone to capture something this subtle, as the smokey beam profile of a flashlight, showing the profile of the hotspot from a lateral position, as well as the spill?
