Hello,
First time film user and have been googling and googling but thought maybe someone else can explain it in terms I would better understand.
So I have the canon f-1. The 1971 version. And I'm trying to understand how to expose so that not all of my first roll is too dark or too blurry from a slow shutter speed.
As I was testing it last night on 100 film speed in my bedroom, I had to be around 8 shutter speed for it to leave the under-exposed section on the meter. That doesn't seem very quick and seems like that will create blurry photos handheld won't it?
Is it just because I am on 100 iso basically I was having troubles leaving the under-exposed section of the meter?
I guess I also get confused as to why the aperture circle and the shutter needle need to line up. On digital you could have a faster shutter speed and then just go f 1.2 to compensate. What happens when they don't line up?
Like I said, I just got this kit (which has so much stuff in it. Whoever sold it was really into photography and I would love to post some pics of the gear and see what it does and have that explained. Because there really is a LOT of stuff!)
And I have been watching videos and reading articles, but being able to have a conversation and continue to ask questions is pretty helpful to me.
