Hi, could I get some kind feedback on these rejected photos?

That's funny! It brings back memories from my assisting days... I worked with some of the best NYC photographers in the 1990's the like of Stephen Wilkes, Brett Froomer, and Mathew Rolston to name a few... HUGE egos, but masters indeed. But the industry is also filled with loads of BS... without naming, I used to work with a "master" fashion photographer who by the time I met was "legally blind" and the assistants had to continually look in the view finder to make sure it was in focus... This photographer in the 90's was getting $12-15K a day for advertising work... her style:::: Blurry Pictures

It's true Ansel Adams used Hasselblad in later years, but this was due to the portability it gave him. All his iconic work was done on 4x5 and 8x10 view cameras. 

I can see his mind blown out shooting with a Phase One digital back, and printing on BW inks inject printers...

I get your point Nancy, I myself shot less back in the day, 

but the gain in learning onsite is indisputably faster.

The only ones shooting film are fine art photographers, or advertising photographers who command huge budgets, or a handfull purists that fall in love with the film workflow.

Personally, today I could not care one bit!

We used to spend endless hours in the darkroom to make a print exactly how we wanted.

By @ZALEZPHOTO

Spending time in the darkroom indeed did take a lot of time; a whole day could be spent on developing and printing film, just to get the right look. Multiple test prints, dodging and burning etc, etc.

 The 'lighroom' is a much better way of 'developing' the negative, as opposed to the 'darkroom'.

Going back to film in my view, is a niche market, the so-called retro photography - it's 'trendy', a longing for the past.

Film photography may not be 'dead', but it will never replace digital; it will remain a niche market.

I appreciate the comment! Yes, your correction is... technically correct, but...

Here is Grok puts it:  

The sensor captures light as photons and converts them into electrical signals (electrons) via the photoelectric effect. The sensor's base

sensitivity is fixed, determined by its design and material properties.

sensitivity is fixed, determined by its design and material properties.

(SAY WHAT?)

"ISO represents the camera's sensitivity to light". Increasing the ISO amplifies the electrical signal generated by the sensor. (My Point)

The 45 minute course was written for kids in mind, and meant for everyon who wanted to learn the abc's, and keeping it simple.

It definitely needs some improvements, but for all practical purposes, the lesson is on point!
