Shooting Portra 400 in Joshua Tree
มุมมอง 1.1K6 ปีที่แล้ว
On my way out to Arizona, I stopped off in Joshua Tree for sunrise to shoot some pictures on 35mm film.
these shots are insane! quick question with the eos 3 I’ve never used a film camera with focus points before do you use a single focus point when shooting portraits ?
What lens did you use with the Canon? The photos are perfectly sharp. Was it the USM or the USM L ?
I’m watching this two years later and I’m so sad there are not new videos! Your photos are amazing and you’re so sweet and charismatic
You're right abt the light leaks. For a film that expensive, the 4-5 1st pics are terrible. As a pro I nearly can't use it. I love the characteristics of this film, but I'm somehow between love and hate.
At about $14 a roll it’s a little pricey
Great video !! I really liked Minolta’s grainy vibe actually 😌
Rain shots are dope man! How did you find shooting handheld at night? Any tips?
Cinestill 800 is best for night scenes where there is neon & tungsten lighting, e.g. downtown areas with a nightlife and cafes. Covering the urban landscape and people enjoying the night life give a shooter so many opportunities.
Great shots!
Great video , why does every hip film photography TH-cam vid have the same kind of music ? Surely you guys have differing tastes in music ??
Great Video - thank you 👍🏻
Yep same horrible red blobs around highlights that I’m seeing in my photos. After shooting 50D and 800T, I really don’t get the allure of this film.
That's the beauty of this film..
Hi can you please explain to me how did you get the photos from the film of the minolta x-700
Hi there, this is a very helpful video. I'm seriously considering buying an EOS-3 and I was wondering what kind of lens did you use with this camera to take the photos in this video? Any helpful information would be appreciated!
Its probably just a difference between the metering on the EOS vs the Minolta. The meter on the Minolta isn't as sophisticated and they look like they're slightly under exposed compared to the EOS
nice video! what aperture did you used on the night shots?
Dope, subbed.
These really aren't minimalist in any sense of the word. But they are good
I like 500T more then 800T,becuse 800T more expensive and 500T can push 1 stop to ISO 1000..the grain is fine.
They are exactly the same film, but for the removal of the antihalation backing by Cinestill. Cinestill's increase in film speed happens in the marketing department. The only factor which might make the Cinestill version look "faster" is that without the protective backing, light during exposure bounces back through the film, fogging it a bit. Otherwise, they push the same. If you do your own film processing, and can therefore remove the remjet backing yourself, neither cost nor quality would dictate using Cinestill.
Why do all photography videos use this library-music-chillout-beats all the fucking time?
at 4:17 he saw a ghost
Too good, I enjoyed the background info on the film itself. 📸
what camera store was this
Dope... i've had the Eos 3 for years, only using it an an aperture priority camera. You you use manual more than aperture priority? or mix? Great shots!!!!
You used matrix metering or spot?
Great video. Just as a reminder film sensitivity is measure by ASA and digital is ISO.
I think its actually down to the country. I have film labelled with ISO
For your night shots do you use your cameras metering system or do you have an external light meter to correctly meter the shots bro? Just curious
A tip for your night shots trying to get more contrast with colored window shots. Use a light meter or light meter app to expose for the highlights specifically rather than the shadows or midtones, then go up a stop or two to retain a bit more detail overall.
I'm betting the Minolta was underexposing a bit. All my Minoltas underexpose by about a half stop or so. You'll get quite a bit of grain on underexposed color film.
I shoot on an x-700 and an SRT-201 and i’ve had the same issue with grain caused by (probable) underexposure. For color neg film, i think the fix is just to overexpose every shot. The film performs well when it’s overexposed, but it looks shitty underexposed.
Certainly subscribed just from this video I really loved the shot of the guy crossing the street❤️
Just got my first roll this weekend. Ill be excited to try it out myself.
I actually buy this film because of halation! The blue hue of the film contrasted by the red from glow at night from artificial light is the reason why I love it !!! Night time this is the goat film
what kind of Lense you have on the minolta?
Why do you have so few subscribers!?
Really great photoos! At night, did you have to use a tripod for these pictures or are they handheld?
You can literally see it in the video!
Damn u exposed for the shadows. Photos couldve been better
Personally I like how they came out, but I appreciate the feedback🤙
What settings do you use during the day
Tbh Kodak Vision 3 is stupid cheap to buy and bulk roll! Depending on Cinestiil for film and over paying is crazy imo. Ive been bulk rolling since 2018. Also 500t @800 gets better colors
Thanks for the tip! I definitely need to try shooting and developing some Vision3. I totally agree Cinestill is unreliable and expensive. That's why the last couple times I've just stocked up, but I think it's time to get some 500t
Kodak sells it for nearly $300 in 400 foot rolls, which you then have to adapt to in some way to get 100 foot rolls for a bulk loader of 35mm cartridges. There is a minor business of people re-rolling the 400 ' into 100' rolls, but they up the price to the point where they take much of the savings. On the other hand, that is still half of the price of the same film from Cinestill, and you don't have to put up with the damage Cinestill inflicts in its striping and repackage process.
Wow your shots are great
Your shots are great. The ones back home came out better than the ones in Seattle in my opinion. I love CineStill, but the halation is an eye sore for me. So I've just been using the Vision3 film since I'm developing at home and don't have to worry about destroying a lab's equipment.
I appreciate that! And that's rad, seems like a great way to go! I might have to try shooting and developing some Vision3 myself
very informative and entertaining video. Actually exactly what I was looking for, thank you very much!
HI! is the photo overexposed at 5:25 or is the correct exposure?
Personally I don't feel like it is, I'd say it is correct. But one could definitely argue that the window is a little bright! That's just my personal preference though
Cinestill 50 D is meant too be good too .
Nice video man and great night time shots. Want to shoot on cinestill for some time now, but nowhere to find in my country. Keep safe
Thanks dude! Just keep checking online/ebay and all that. It goes in and out of stock in waves, so when you see it, you have to be fast to buy it! Try the link in the description
what batteries does that nikon point and shoot take? Great video btw, I love your shots.
Cinestill is one of my favorite film stocks to shoot with. Really like the images of the airplanes at the airport. Don't see those too often. I live near an airport too, but haven't thought to stopping by it
Yeah It's definitely one of my favs as well! And I'm glad you liked the shots, you should totally go shoot at your airport! I was just driving past (like I have a million times) and I thought It might be pretty cool check out. I think you'll enjoy it too
Very cool pictures!, question: do you play with the colors in post? Or just scan and upload? I'm asking because i have the X700 as well but I don't get that smooth colors.
Yeah I tend to do a little post processing in Lightroom, but not very much. Just white balance, contrast, cropping and basic exposure adjustments. It all just depends on the shot. I usually keep it very minimal. Hope that helps!
Great video and images! What speed were you shooting the Portra 400 at?
Thanks! I shot the Portra at box speed (400)
Photos look great! Are these straight out of camera or scanned and edited? Thanks bud
Thanks dude! Most of the shots I did a little bit of editing in Lightroom. Just basic exposure, contrast, white balance, and cropping. I keep it very minimal. Oh and all the shots from the Nikon point n shoot are unedited straight from the lab
Shot at 2:06 is 🔥🔥
Appreciate that dude!
