Today, I was trying an exercise from DPS. https://digital-photography-school.com/back-to-basics-photography-exercise
Essentially, it was to pretend that you had a manual film camera and no light meter. Then, shoot a roll of film (mine was a 26-exposure roll). I did much better in the sun than in the shade, and some close ups were a total failure. Still, I got some shots that I really liked. These are SOOC. I had a hard time picking my favorite, but no trouble discarding many failures. I put a couple more of my favorites in my Alternates album
