... Or take enough time to expose properly. In an age before digital cameras and instant feedback on exposure, we had to understand the medium and learn how to use it without the benefit of such conveniences. :) I have to do this today with the Polaroid cameras because I only get 8 exposures per pack (at $2+ per exposure). And since the finished product is what comes out of the camera, I don't have the luxury or convenience of post processing it if I mess up. It's a wonderful discipline to learn both good exposure and proper framing. It saves a lot of wasted time in the post-capture department.
