The worst thing about shooting film is it makes you intuitively aware of the enormous amounts of film 20th century photographers wasted, and how so much of what they did was only impressive because no one else could afford the film or the time.
And also of why the film elitists of the peasantry almost exclusively take photos of roofs and street signs in asia.
Ansel adams left hundreds of snapshot and test/bracketing exposure sheets behind, in just one storeroom. He had others as well. That's that "skill" you've heard so much about. Just trying again and again until the infernal machine accidentally aligns with reality. It's even worse with digital cameras now because the most infernal machines among them make incorrect decisions regardless of your input so you're paying over $1000 for a regression to a worse state than an OM-2n with a motor drive and magazine back.
