Oddly enough, I've always assumed it's me being a lazy photographer. When I used film it was, say ISO 100, that was what you had to work around. Modern DSLRs seem to want to pump up the ISO a bit, and I'd never really thought too much about it, because most modern DSLRs take amazing images even when you crank the ISO up really high. Sometimes it's too easy to get out of the tripod exposure zone with a modern DSLR. Anyway, I will get to use some low ISO film shortly, and I'm hoping that a 36 exposure roll of film will make me think more about the image I'm composing. Hopefully, this discipline will be there to transfer back to the DSLR. Maybe that is what I need to gain from film again, more than anything else?
