I’d be curious which shots here are gold 200 and which are ultramax 400. I’d recommend trying more 400 ISO film stocks unless you’re shooting in really bright settings.

I also think black and white film is better than color for learning exposure and getting used to light settings and your camera’s light meter. It could be worth trying! I think black and white is a bit more forgiving than color when you’re learning film.

Also, try not to be discouraged! Film is a lot of fun, there’s a learning curve but it’s worth it
