Hi all!
Thanks for your prompt response about my queries on MZ-M and the Zone
System. Especially thanks to Shel who gave some nice pointers. Shel, the
exercise you suggested seems quite interesting. I wil try it out.
Anyway I dont think that I am going start any new experiments immediately.
Why ? Because I read the excerpt from "On being a photographer". After
reading that I realized why my progress stopped. Initially I was new to
SLR (and photography) and the first few months were spent in getting to
know the basics. After that though many of my photographs were ok (in
terms of exposure etc) I was never satisfied with any of them. I could not
figure out the reason. Now I know: I never found a "good" subject. I was
shooting at random and waiting for that "good photograph". Guess I have to
rethink my whole approach to photography. First let me pick a subject.
Then I will think about the techniques.
Thanks for many other pointers I received. And thanks Bob, for the link
about the book which deals with zone system for 35mm.
Happy shooting.
Girish.
