I check the shutter accuracy by attaching a flash, setting it at full power, opening the lens to max aperture and setting the shutter to sync speed. I open the back of the camera and look at the shutter curtain as I fire the camera. The whole lens circle should be lit up at sync speed. As I go up the speeds, the cutoff should increase with every step up. Going down below sync speed, you watch for shutter curtains dragging or getting stuck and the shutter should remain open longer with every step down. Once I've checked the shutter speeds, I set the camera to sync speed and fire the camera with the flash, while still looking through the open back. I stop the lens down with every shot and watch my lit circle get smaller and smaller.
Growing up, we had film. Those Easter Sunday photographs taking by mom and dad with the sunlight fully in your face. Then my kids, the older one's especially, still had film and I had the sunlight in their face. See a trend here? And then, the digital cameras hit the scene. WOW! And my younger kids benefited from it as well as me. No more film. Just memory cards, learning the computer (I'm still fond of Windows XP), and learning new terms and technology marrying both cameras and PC up. It was AWESOME! And then the kids all left home, moving away, doing their things, chasing their dreams and I had to adjust. Photography then became a serious endeavor, beyond the Easter photographs, the family get together, the home events, and it came rather late in my life. And when I was getting bored with the ease of photographing digitally, I cycled back and created a balanced of photographing with both film and digital. I love film and I loved your presentation. Spot on with the '4 Essential Steps', especially for those who are starting out into film photography.
I'll never forget the whole 'everybody stare at the sun, why is nobody smiling' speil. I make sure to backlight my portraits out in the wild and it keeps everyone happy.
