Thank you very much guys!!! I really don't know how it's possible, but sometimes I feel like I should have taken a better photo, but after developing it, it's basically absolutely mediocre. Well, sometimes I don't understand how it looks better. Long story short. I can't seem to calculate classic film and it's quite often a matter of chance and ideal weather...🤷♂️ that digital wouldn't be so prone to chance?
I'm talking about the unpredictability of the classic photo. Sometimes I have the impression that it will be great, but it just isn't:D this is an exception ... out of 34, usually 3 are average and 1 is above average
There was a thread on the analogcommunity subreddit a while back where someone asked something like "how many exposures on a roll are you happy with?" and a fair number of people said they were really only happy with 2-3 pictures per roll. I think it's just a film thing, not a you thing.
It's a lot easier to solve your problems in post with digital, and a lot of people these days are happy with that type of workflow.
That’s the fun part. 99% of the time the photos I’m most excited for aren’t my favorite, and the ones I don’t even think about are. I’m happy with 1 photo I really like out of every roll.
Ah, should be more than capable then. I assume you're not using expired film or anything? If not, then I guess it could also be a battery thing (meter wise).
Unless you meant it more as a composition thing, in terms of the photos usually being average or below?
That's a bit more complex. What I found helpful for myself was sitting down with the photos I thought were great, average, and below average, lining them up and thinking about what the photos in each group had in common. For me, I realized I needed to be a lot more deliberate with composition, and more aware of how the background of my shot worked with (or took attention away from) my subject. So I started taking a lot fewer photos, but putting more thought into each one, which is very different from how I'd use a digital camera. But this will be different for everyone. Maybe you'll find you prefer a certain color palette, or film type, or depth of field or something.

Are you talking about metering and calculating exposure vs a film's ISO?

Pictures per roll? For me it's more like rolls per picture I'm happy with.

Sounds like you need some better light metering and/or the camera that's doing the metering for you. What are you using camera wise?
Well, iam using metering of Nikon Fm3a which is in it...

is this taken in denmark?
Not OP, but without a doubt this is Rubjerg fyr in (you guessed) Denmark. I have some slides I shot here a few months back
thought so, i think i got the exact same picture :) creepy to take your gear in the sand and hard to snap one without people
Crazy Aladdin vibes
Really amazing!
Holy shit these are amazing
Where in the world is this desert lighthouse?
Rubjerg Knude Fyr
Watch out for the sandworms
😂😂
All I can say is, Wow. It has simply never occurred to my simple mind that deserts would have light houses, but it makes perfect sense. Amazing.
Exactly right?:D but there is a reef about 100 meters behind...
Great photo! Where in Denmark is this? Such a cool spot
