[QUOTE="WhiteLight, post: 127404, member: 9556"] Never touched a film camera in my life.. though as a kid i used just press the roller kinda thingy on my dads yashica, pentax, minolta and kodak cameras & press the shutter button... the sound made me feel so good :P or even just waiting for the charging sound of the flash just so that it reaches crescendo & i just 'flash' away. so that's my state of affairs so feel free to kick outa this thread.. but to answer the philosophical question from ym point of view, that laziness you talk about is the flipside of technology. look around you.. everything technology offers makes you lazier... at the same time, no one is perfect.. no one can take every single shot perfectly. yeah, your skills may have improved with the fact that you had to take every shot right.. but there are aspects in a shot which just can not be controlled. Add to that the stress in your mind that you HAVE to get the right shots or your client will hang you upside down like the film.. i like peace & calm while shooting.. brings my creativity out.. just like everything in life, each has it's own positives & negatives. AH!! A philosophical answer to a philosophical question :) - the views of a total noob photographer with zero knowledge of film cameras [/QUOTE]
