Really enjoyed reading this, Álvaro. I haven’t shot film for years but I’ve considered trying again. Who knows, maybe one day. Really liked the first photo and the last one. As Donn said, you have a good eye.

I like it. f8 and be there. Wherever you are. And hey, I don't think of myself as a landscape photographer either, but sometimes things happen even for us. Anyway, your eye is good so just take whatever part of the landscape calls to you.

There were a lot of words in this article. I think I fell asleep a couple of times. I may have skipped some. But I like the picture. And the picture of the picture, and the other picture of the picture. I think I liked the last picture of the picture the best. As for straightening the image, just rotate the easel dummy.

I feel really flattered that you liked the last picture of the picture better than the second-to-last picture of the picture. Also, now you know where to comeback when having sleeping problems. Thanks for partially reading this half awake, John :)!

I'd love to start shooting film but mostly learn the process of developing. Enjoyed reading, thanks for sharing with us :)

Thank you Donn! I'm happy you like it. So that you know, I've been exploring the f/16 deep waters as of lately and I must say I quite enjoy the forgiving focusing area you get out of that. Specially using manual focusing lenses. Thank you again for reading :)!

Very interesting read, I have about 3k black and white negs and I haven’t started printing any yet. I had wondered if my shooting mentality would change after I started regularly printing.
