Reflection:


Experience:
T'was a super hot day. Regardless of that it was fun and insightful.

Observation :
I still feel like such a noob holding the camera to be honest. But the technicalities seems to be something I'm starting to get a hang on.

Findings :
I thought I actually know the zone system just by using my eyes, but in actual fact I'm as dumb as the light meter lmao.

Feedback :
Sir said the second picture should be lighter.
