Hi Guys,
Film is the cheapest commodity on any shoot and to even think about "not
using too much" is archaic to the very thought of picture taking and making
images.

If one shoots the obvious first,........"Oh gee look at that!"  Click! Shoot
quick as that's the first point of motivation. Heck don't even think about
it being a throw away frame, quite often it is. Then? Bingo a keeper!

After that, start to look hard, do a 360 around the subject recording each
thing that is motivational in a photogenic manner. In other words milk the
situation for everything it's worth and edit on the light table. Many a
great picture has been discovered on the contact sheet!

Use film, beats the hell out of going back to re-shoot if it's even
possible.
