“Sunday Shoot” Textures

This “Sunday Shoot” was not exactly shot on a Sunday. I know it’s called “sunday shoot”, this week life just got in the way of photography. So here it is finally on a Tuesday, my “Sunday Shoot”.

For this weeks post I was thinking TEXTURE. Turns out texture is everywhere, you can’t go two feet with a camera and not find an interesting texture. So I decided when shooting digitally I need to start thinking FILMALLY (i just made that word up). What I mean is, it has become so easy to shoot and shoot and shoot with a digital camera. Remember when we had to buy film in 24 or 36 exposure rolls, maybe you don’t but I do. Those were the good old days, you actually had to be selective in where you were going to spend those shots. So I’m making an effort to limit how many exposures I make. What I have done is taken a small CF card like 512mb or 1gb and set my camera to Raw+Jpeg this gets me around 25-50 exposures and thats it. Once those shots are taken I’m done, I don’t erase in camera or bring another CF card. I find this makes me really take an extra second before I press the shutter release and decide wheather or not it’s worth taking. When shooting this week I actually only took 36 exposures. After reviewing my shots I found 11 that I’d like to share with you. I think if I shot 136 exposures I still might only have 11 to share. Stepping back into the film world is helping me see better pictures before I take them. Quality not quantity.
