365 Day 38 Sherlock Holmes

365 Day 38 Sherlock Holmes, originally uploaded by Matt Hunt.

Well I am just over 10% of the way through and so far it has proven to be quite interesting.

I've not found limiting myself to just one lens (bar a few occasions when I've carried 2) to be limiting, but on the days when I shoot film I immediately miss changing ISO. In fact, I shoot at higher ISOs than I thought I did and seem to rely quite heavily on that feature of digital photography. Suddenly I wonder how my father spent so many years soley using Kodachrome 64.

I use over a focal length of over 135mm once in a while, find 35mm the most useful and missed a great, great shot of the rising full moon last Saturday because the longest lens in the bag was an 85mm.

I look up much more than I look down

I only notice strong colours

People find a film camera much less interesting / intrusive than a DSLR.

St Pauls's cathedral looks lovely at dawn and I've started to walk to work along the South Bank just to see it.

The Millenium Bridge really does wobble. Forget 1/30 sec!

Using the camera in my phone is fun.

Once a fortnight I really have to work to be inspired and that photograph usually shows it.
