There's a video on youtube where a Canon pro takes Don McCullin around a city to test drive some Canon gear.
Don talks of his concerns about the digital gear and mentions the danger of looking at the screen after every shot and missing the shot.
Cue the city where both Don and the pro are taking shots in the city and something caught Don's eye.
"Did you get that?" Don shouts out.
"What?" The pro replies lifting his gaze from his screen .
Unintentionally funny, and I thought the only seperation between amateur and pro is the pro receives a salary.
However, there is a huge seperation between pro and great photographers.
I had a Canon eos 50e and a Centon DF300. Then an ME, MZ10, and a few more.
The ME still sees action, but only for something special limiting myself to 24 exposure film.
If I could afford it then I would shoot more film.
It's a joy miss: the patience, taking time over framing the shot.
And not knowing what percentage of keepers you have until it is developed.
Photography and the joy of film, cant beat it.
