Filmfotografie: Belichtung, Messmethoden und wichtige Skills

Hi Kevin, Thanks for taking the course and sharing these images. Great to see all of them metered well :) Curious to know what aspects you found to be most challenging and given that you're used to photography basics, how did the course help?P.S. I'd be most grateful if you could leave a review (could also copy paste your response to my question above) as this would help future students decide whether it's right for them. Given that you already have the basics down, it would be helpful to hear your unique perspective on how the course helped :) Thank you!

Thank you for your kind comment Sathya. You've acknowledged the one aspect that this course helped me understand when working with film versus digital. Properly exposing for film is not quite the same or as simple as with digital.

While use of the exposure triangle doesn't change, the ISO side of the triangle is interpreted a little differently. As you mentioned the ASA of a roll of film determines the grain size, which determines the "sensitivity" or ISO setting in digital. An important consideration is that digital noise is not the same as film grain and that affects the character of the images. Digital noise is always the same size due to pixel size, where as the silver halide crystal size affects grain size, while also affecting sensitivity.

So the big learning from your course is that you need to let go of the idea of high ISO, high noise, and use film ISO to control contrast and shadow details (amount of grain).

Excellent! I'm glad that the metering section was helpful. You are spot on about using film ISO to our advantage. 

Thank you for writing back in detail and also for adding a review, truly appreciate it.

A group of images taken after finishing the course. Have been shooting digital so already have the basics. Definitely a bit more challenging without the automation.
