Exactly. I sat crosslegged on the sidewalk as people were walking by. Took my time focusing, metering and setting exposure using the matrix chart mounted on the camera. set the aperture, set the tension, refocused, composed and checked focus again, fired. Noticed I didn't pull the dark slide, rechecked the shutter, made sure the focus was spot on, metered again as the lighting changed, reconfigured the setting, PULLED THE DARK SLIDE, check focus again, took a deep breath and fired the shutter. Inserted the dark slide, cocked the shutter and started breathing again. Has a ring of people smiling and having questions about the camera with one woman clapping.
