Habit. I never use the display screen either but I was never taught to use one because they didn't exist widely until ~5 years ago.

 

Fair

 

A lot of older photogs believe too that you train yourself to see and capture better composition through the view finder rather than using the digital display screen. Might just be older mindsets not adapting to new tech but I think there's some truth to that.

 

I had a professor in school several years ago for one of my photo classes that would only allow students to use digital cameras if they put gaff tape over the digital display. His argument/belief was that the ability to instantly see what you just shot was watering down the skill and artistry involved with taking good photos and instead letting people rely on luck and 'do overs'.

I will say though I think it would've took a hell of a lot more grit to be a pro photog back in the days of film than it does now...at least as far as technique and skills goes. Nowadays the hardest part is competing with the fact that literally everyone is a photographer now with how accessible digital has made it and the industry is saturated with competition.

Big part of the reason I gave up on freelancing after 5 or 6 years...you have to hustle 24/7 for jobs that pay like crap 95% of the time anyway.

 

HE'S GOT A GUN!!!! *News caster* a man was shot today for welding aluminum with a welding gun police identified him as a suspect to suspicious activities.

 

15 qts of oil lol, that's nuts.

 

The view finder doesn’t adjust for the exposure and shit does it?
I never use it, maybe that’s why my pictures suck ass

 

The wire going to the gauge thing bugs me haha

 

Yeah one of the photogs I assisted for about 5 years was Charles Bush (father of actress Sophia Bush funny enough)...he was big in the 80s and 90s as a celebrity and advertising photog. Retired about 4 years ago. But he would always tell me how lucky I was on one hand to not have to work with film but on the other hand, back in those days if you took the time to master the craft you would be all but guaranteed a huge success. These days, not so much.

 

Lexus LFA is a 14.8 qts.

 

Drill a hole through the dash and run it between the vents

 

Those extra cylinders are thirsty

 

It has the exposure readings displayed in it usually but no, it doesn't preview the image exposure

 

Dry sump oil system

 

I wanna take a photography class and maybe learn how to use shit, but I feel like it wouldn’t be fun

 

Well, I have a Sunday off. Instead of getting this stuff done, I end up doing some yard work since the f-ing gardener has decided to not show up for 3 weeks and his phone's vm box is full.

 

Then it probably won't be lol

Should do it anyway though I'm sure your school offers it

 

I don't watch sports ball or advanced kickball, I was out looking at the snow covered winter wheat fields and whipping the truck around snow corners.
