@John Maslowski: Sorry for my late answer, but everything as been hectic lately and also im planning a lot of trips in my vacation.
"Creative correct exposure" is just my own way of reminding me to think. (There's no such thing as correct exposure. It all depends on what your after.)
When shooting film, you don't have the luxury of a histogram, so you better know what you get down on your film. So with each shot i first think: what aperture? Is it for isolation? DOF? Where do i want details?
After that, I set my shutter speed. I often use center weighted light metering.
When shooting film I always check the number in the display before pressing the shutter. It was second nature. I have come to realize that after switching over to digital, i have become “numb” to those figures. I can always check the histogram afterwards, but what if I only have one chance at a shot? I have become lazy. No better than a kid with a point and shoot camera.
Its my way of returning to my own virtues. Digital has made me slow, sort of.
Definitely brings out memories of spending long days with my friends, hammering the hell out of the C64. I used to love this game (and so many others). I may have to get a C64 emulator and revisit a few. For old times sake.:) (Thanks for the reminder).
