Hi All,
I'm a relative beginner to film in general, and most recently began using E-6 slide film... It's easier to scan and I really like the editing process of slides.
My question is, how do film users deal with varying ISO conditions and swapping film?
For instance, today I loaded a roll of Kodak E200. I was able to shoot until about 4:45pm, when I went indoors and things got darker (even at f1.4). My choices at that point were to stop shooting until the following day when I could use the remaining 20 shots left on my roll, blow 20 shots and waste the roll... or...
...well, what do you all do? I suppose I could just load iso 400 Fuji in there and shoot that all the time, but sharpness will be lacking...
Based on my shooting style, it's hard to judge what'll be coming up all the time.
I shoot digital as well (and thus have complete ISO control) - but I really love shooting film... my camera is much quieter and the process of shoot and scan fits my art style.
So, to summarize: How can I handle varying light conditions without having to swap film constantly or lose portions of rolls...
Any help appreciated,
-Dan
