So...My younger brother just started a high school photograph class, it an introduction class, so I expected that he would learn the basics, like aperture, shutter speed, ISO, etc...then assignments like, leading lines, rule of thirds, DOF, and whatnot.
So I gave my brother a Canon 10S and a 50mm 1.8, that has a roll of Tmax 400 that I had been shooting at 800, but I only took about 3 frames so I told him to finish out the roll.
So the first day of class they were taught how to develop film, an then assigned to shoot and "oddity" as their first assignment, then rather than teaching, the instructor told the class to ask him individually if they needed help using their cameras. So my brother was going around trying to take photos not even knowing what shutter and aperture were, or did, or even why they had to be adjusted. I guess the rest of the class is on "green box mode" in that case why even bother requiring an SLR! So after helping my brother understand how a everything works, and he had shot some pictures, I reminded him that Even though the film was 400 speed, it was shot at 800, and had to be developed accordingly, and his teacher should be able to help him.
So when he told his teacher that the film was shot at 800, the teacher asked why it was shot at 800, so he explained that it was my film and I had started the roll at 800. The Teacher asked "does your brother even know how to shoot film?...just go develop it. Tell your brother to step off and don't do anything that unless I tell you to." than made him develop it as if it were shot at 400!
end rant.
P.S.
So, Now I'm making my brother read "Understanding Exposure" by Bryan Peterson.
