Great piece Anthony, really has my creative juices flowing! Now where did I put that 35mm prime lens?

Riffing on your comments about shooting as if you were using film; if you really want to confine yourself you could image that you were shooting with SLIDE film, which did not allow for any post editing of any kind (apart from cross processing ( intentionally processing film in the wrong chemicals, creating interesting and unpredictable color shifts and increased contrast) the entire roll to create special effects).

I knew that guy was AI. He's standing up. 🤣 Good advice, Tony. I don't practice it often, but like you, my favorite fixed lens on my Sony A6400 is the Sony 30mm f/3.5 E-mount Macro Prime Lens (equivalent to 45mm). I enjoy it because it weighs under 5 oz. and focuses to infinity. It's a tiny, lightweight normal prime, a little slow maybe, but that's never bothered me. 👍
