What's your photographic warm fuzzies?
To turn the coin on the photographic pet peeves thread, let's hear about your photographic pleasures -- those things that give you a warm fuzzy feeling inside. Let's hear some favorite topics of discussion that are beyond that of gear talk!
For me, I greatly enjoy hearing about the artist's methodology behind composing a photo and the story that happened immediately before -- and after -- the photo was taken. What was this moment that was entombed? Why? How does the composition differ and deliver a message that is different or enforces reality?
On the subject of gear, I like to hear more about films of choice, development styles, and actual or digital darkroom techniques used for final presentation. |

Copyright violation!
I get the fuzzies when I get the shot that I previzualized  On gear I love when you nerd out with people that are in the know about a certain camera like the Ricoh GRDs

Just cleaned my M6 (and 28mm Elmarit) and loaded it up with roll of Ektar. Placed it gently into the camera bag all ready to go...made me all fuzzy and warm inside...
Now, I just have to find time to get out of the house....

Pulling the freshly developed film from the reels and realizing that there are indeed some visible frames. This always amazes me ... |

When I hear the quiet "snick" of the shutter and know I captured exactly what I wanted, at the moment I wanted it.
When I use the M8 it's more of a "clank".

When one of my kids tries to steal a camera off my desk.

Photographic Pleasures...
When I sneak a peek of Asian Ladyboy's feet in Chinatown NYC.
They are happy for the snap and flash from my Fuji GW690II.
Easy USA, size 42, and a smile to smile... thrilling !!!

Agreed, since the film is always dark you are always afraid something wrong happened

The moment when I replace the last screw after a CLA/repair job and know I've just brought a 'Sold as is' camera back from the dead.

Definitely! (I know that's "gear talk.") Also, when my wife gets enthused by my pictures. |

I second that. Nothing tops this photographically for me. No matter how many times I see it, it never fails to induce the feeling that I am witnessing magic. The anticipation of waiting for the image to settle in as I wait for that perfect moment to snatch the print from the developer always gives me a rush. |

When I get a box of film back from North Coast Photo...I only send out when I have a bunch of rolls, so every 1-2 months. Lovely to get them back!

The sound of the shutter, the feeling that you got the shot, seeing visible negatives on the strip of film as it is removed from the developing reel, and the print image appearing in the developer tray. Then, seeing the print in a frame. Positive reactions from others appreciating ones work.

I get the warm and fuzzy when I read another account from fellow digital shooters who discovered the coolness of film photography.
That and 11x14 prints slowly materialized under the red light.

When I manage to pull off a dust-free scan.
Believe me, it doesn't happen very often.
