I've been into film photography this summer, and that won't go away anytime soon. But the question is, what else could I do differently there, or what could I have done differently?

I shot film for a while in my early years, mostly because I couldn't afford to screw up digital raw files I didn't understand yet. What helped me was shooting the same subject on multiple frames with small exposure shifts, then comparing the scans later to see what held detail where. Not saying that's the move here, but it forced me to slow down and actually see what the film was doing with light. The patience it built carried over when I went back to digital.

It's not doable with my point-and-shoot 😂. But definitely doable with my Nikon. Did you develop them yourself or have them developed? I'm going with the latter since I don't have time to develop them either. And are there actually differences in where you have your photos developed?

Film has a way of sticking once it clicks. For me the question became less about doing it differently and more about what I was actually chasing in each frame. Summer light on film is forgiving, winter forces you to know your stock better. What were you shooting, if you don't mind my asking?
I have the habit of always carrying a camera with me when I go hiking or gravel biking. And usually when I like the surroundings I stop and enjoy the view. Here you see Achensee, a huge lake in Tyrol, nestled between mountains. The Bärenkopf, with the three clouds above, simply appealed to me, and I came up with the idea to take a photo as if it were a postcard from the 70s.
The mountain in the distance is called Bärenkopf
