Another thing which gets me stuck is to have a backlog of testing I want to do. I want to try various films and decide on 2 or 3 favourites to use. I want to try various papers to decide which I want to print on. I have to experiment with different ways to scan to get the best results. I have to test various lenses against each other to decide which to keep. Etc etc etc etc etc.
Un-backlog yourself. Just tell yourself it doesn\'t matter - until the day you go to sell one. And then, as/just-before you shoot the images for the sale, do the test. Typically indoors for me. Films tests (for me) already exist in great abundance on-line so no need to test anything there - just hit the search engine.
The only testing I currently loath is printer testing and that\'s only cuz inks are so over-priced, there\'s so little difference, and shelf-life of the printed images are one of the main concerns - dang robbers they are; those ink sellers!
