Traveling the world with cameras, telling stories and learning along the way.
3,000 Mile Photography Road Trip
With one month left before I leave for Asia to travel the world I wanted to do one last epic road trip to a place I've always wanted to explore. This is my road trip from Utah to Alaska.
Enjoy.

This is for my dad. Back in 2019 he gave me a gift that would end up changing my life. It was just a simple film camera but what it ended up doing for me was worth much more than the cost of a camera. Thanks dad.

That sounds really bad. Lack of lens selection, and no manual controls? Might as well just go with an Olympus om10, and get a better lens selection. 55mm 2.2 is good… for 1950s standards.
Another great comparison! Only thing is that Provia film really has a limited latidude and if you don't stay in that range it will blow the image also the Yashica was over exposing to many scenes in the rocks. One last thing that I have learned from shooting Provia, is that is does terrible in high contrast scenes were the highlights and shadows are too promenent. Other wise I have shot Provia film on medium format (Mamiya 7 II) and it is pretty mind blowing!
That is one GOOD BOY! cute doggo. I just ordered this model and found your channel. I like your vibe man. Not too much not trying to be super artsy. Just genuinely being yourself. Subscribed!
Great Video! I really enjoyed the comparison and it has now motivated me to bring out the 1 roll of Across I have in my freg and put it on my Contax G2. I do believe that if you would have used a better film camera that might have matched the lens quality of the X100 you would have gotten even more results on the film. I am wondering if you are going to compare any of the color films because I would be very curious on the results. I also have several Fuji cameras and find that the color film simultions don't come close at all to the real film. Also, new subscriber here!
I just inherited my canon ae-1 program. I was young when i used a film camera. So this was absolutely helpful. The only thing i need to look into, as of now, is when you load your film, do you take a few random clicks/pictures before you are ready for actual poctures? Thank you again for your video. Also, my batery tester doesn't beep. It is a consistent noise as long as i hold the button-down.
Is there a silver one?
Great explanation many thanks
This is so cool! I am fascinated by Alaska but I've never been. Great shots as usual. Hope things are going well in Asia.
Bro, DO NOT turn around too fast.. but there is a dog RIGHT BEHIND you starring you DOWN
This is cool! Makes me want a Pentax 17 tbh. Seems like such a fun little camera!
Idk if it’s just me but my flash works maybe half of the time, even with the red light on a lot of the time it won’t go off.
i just got one to replace my old FTN cos it was super cheap SUPER CHEAP my lenses all work n added a 20mm
Looks like pentax shared the workshop when they made the k1000
Kevin! I'm stoked for your next adventure! I just subscribed, and I look forward to joining you on your journey, through your channel! Truly inspiring that you're diving in head first into such a daring venture!
Better not to drop :)
❤
I shared the same journey with my dad. Thank you for making this video and really making me understand more and more why I reference him all the time and everything that I do with the photography.
You are so welcome! I love hearing about other people’s photography inspiration.
Great work ! Your videos are really inspiring, you definitely deserve more recognition !
That seriously means so much to me. Thanks so much i appreciate it.
The selling point for the Reflx Lab light meter for me was that it can meter up to 30 seconds. The TTArtisan light meter is limited to 1 second. 🤷
I didn’t even know that. Thanks so much for the info.
4:00 did your buddy just posed for a picture? 😲 cool
He’s such a good boy.
Hm, I like my Minolta X-700, cheaper than the AE 1 and it has full auto and aperture priority mode
love my at-1 and EF, I'd not recommend the ae-1 if you're a beginner, unless you don't like to learn.
Haha this is actually pretty dang true. The AE-1 is almost too easy.
Also recommend the AV-1
Another good one to look for, and usually fairly reasonably priced, is Nikon FM. No bells and whistles, bu very well built.
Couldn't agree more!
pentax ME super is better and smaller and has far better lenses and feel far better constructed and have auto
Thank you for your time: IMHO more of these comparisons should be made. I might have missed it but it would have been intersting to know at what ISO setting the X100V was shot. I do aknowledge the great work Fuji's engineers have done with their film simulation + great sensor of the X100V. The Jpegs are great looking, without clipping the highlights. But there are two aspects which will make my choice go to film: much much more detail and micro-contrast (look at the grass blades and the tree bark on the last shot of "floating" tree) and the gradation of the skies (the X100V produces one shade and basically stays on that color when film produces many more nuances). Have a great day. Thanks
Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and make this comment. I’ve got a couple more comparisons coming out soon. Doing a Velvia comparison as well as a black and white shoot out between HP5, kentmere and TX400
What about the canon new f1 or the old f1 they are a more premium and more professional versions of the ae1 with more functions and speeds
Thanks influencers for jacking the up the price of this camera! 😌
I started with the chinon CP5, it was $30 with a 35-80 and it uses k mount lenses which makes finding lenses cheap. The brand chinon is not well known meaning these cameras sell for way cheap. The cp5 also has 2 program modes, apature priority, manual, and multiple exposure integration. If youre getting into film photography, just remember that an expensive box wont get good photos, its understanding your gear.
This is the absolute truth. Expensive doesn’t make good photos.
AE1 was a plastic easy to use consumer product.. A pain to use in manual..Prefer a nikon FE or FM same era much better product..
Nah, Olympus om2n. And if that’s too expensive and you’re on a budget, I’d recommend the Olympus OM20/G. Simple to use and inexpensive, arguably better than the OM10. Doesn’t have the spot meter like the OM2/n but is still a good choice. If you want program there is the later later OM2 SP, or the cheaper OM40/PC
I’ve never shot on the of the Olympus cameras. Always heard amazing things about them. Maybe it’s my next gift to myself 😏
Like most cameras of that era, the designers didn't expect people to be using this camera beyond year 2019 (that's the latest possible year on the time stamp function).
I had no idea that the time stamp function stopped working past 2019. That’s good to know.
This is EXACTLY how i feel about photography ❤ your essay is a treasure!!! Thank you so much!
You are so welcome! It makes me so happy to hear that you feel the same way.
You can get a 30 year old Nikon F3 with lens for $50
I love the F3. Shot one a while back and I’ve always wanted my own.
Wait, that’s not the AE-1. That’s the AE-1 Programme, a later updated version of the AE-1. The black mass near the advance lever is the biggest giveaway.
Thats the biggest give away? What about the green "program" mode on the shutter speed selector?
@@connorarnold9362 Can’t really see that from a front on angle. The black mass can be though. That’s why it’s the bigger giveaway. Most cameras show them front on first and you can’t really see “program” until you look top down.
@@PooMonkeyMan which the video shows
@@connorarnold9362 Yeah a few moments later. You can see the black mass almost instantaneously when the lens gets pointed forward.
I grew up LDS (Australia) and man, your dad looks familiar. What a cool dude.
My dad served his mission in Melbourne. Maybe you bumped into eachother.
awesome upload, 💪
Thanks so much. I really appreciate it.
This is a beautiful video and Kodachrome, my God. It holds up. The quality is amazing. I hope Kodak finds a way to bring it back, no matter how impossible it seem. And damn, your dad is an amazing photographer 😅
Thank you so much. This seriously makes me so happy to hear. Comments like this are the reason I make these videos. I keep dreaming that Kodachrome makes a come back.
Your figures do not add up. It is nowhere near this expensive to shoot film. You can a) bulk load rolls of b+w film; b) develop yourself (i.e. cinestill). An example, fomapan 100ft roll is like $60 and gives 18 rolls of 36 ct. cinestill monograph develops 18 rolls for $20. Minus the labour you just did 18 rolls for under $100 (even if you add in reusable cartridges, used paterson tank etc). Scan yourself and buy a simple canon cp1300 4x6 printer (under $100) and you will have saved all that money. You can buy colour film in bulk and develop it but costs a little more. Sorry mate but you are not telling an accurate story.
It’s like my Yashica fx 70
Or the Minolta x370 is a really good one
This is the truth. The Minolta is a great camera.
Get a mechanical camera... Not these plastic ones with plastic gears. They made millions of them, yes, so their fail rate is masked by their numerousness.
I know right. I’m so scared that the gears in mine are just going to wither away one day. Already had to replace one. Thankfully it was really easy.
By the way did you match the metering mode of the two cameras? Like if the film one has a center weighted metering mode did you use the same on the digital? Also, holy moly those are some nice reds @ 23:44
Thank you so much I really appreciate it. And no I didn’t match the metering modes as the Yashika doesn’t have any ability to change its metering mode.
Interesting comparison! Those kinds of color casts (2:27) is why I like film more. I don’t shoot film, but whenever I see film photos, it’s the colors that impress me. Fuji sooc jpegs just look too boring and digital to me. IMO Fuji should have color grading for shadows and highlights in their cameras, and they should have more film sims that changes the colors more dramatically. Classic Neg is an example of an interesting sim imo. Then again I shoot RAW so what does my opinion matter lol. :P
Couldn’t agree more. The actual film just has more sauce to it.
The f-1N is the AE1on steroids. Somewhat elusive, and very hard to repair. However it is the pinnacle of old school canon SLR
Oh I’ve always wanted an F-1n never been able to find one though.
My mother (who taught me how to shoot) started on an AE1, she found it in her father's field and has been a camera lover ever since (don't worry, she did try to find the original owner first). She still shoots on canon's, I prefer Nikon's though
This is a great way to get a camera. I love stories like that.
I want one
You need one.
Looks almost like a sony s2 product
Film photography (BW) on a budget: 1. Minolta SRT/X-300 incl. 50mm f/1.7 lens: 50-100 € 2. Fomapan 100: 4.50 €/roll 3. Copystand for scanning (old Enlarger + ball head mount + old DSLR + Macrolens + light panel): 400 € 4. Development kit (Light tight bag + Peterson tank + jug, thermometer): 50 € 5. Developer and Fixer (for a year) : 20 € ----- Initial costs: ca. 600 € Annual running costs (if you shoot 1 roll per week, no prints included): ca. 250 € P.S: Don't buy overhyped cameras like the AE-1. It really is not that great. I highly recommend looking into Minoltas (SRTs, X-300/370, X500/570, XG-1/2,...those are fantastic and the glass is superb). If you go medium format, look for folder cameras (e.g. Zeiss Ikon Ikontas, Nettar) or Bronicas. My top Tip: Learn how to "sunny 16"! This way you don't depend on working lightmeters and that opens a whole new world of old cameras.
Please stop paying 200 to 300 bucks for a Canon AE1. If you want a focal plane shutter camera get literally any Minolta SRT for literally a tenth of the cost of an AE1. I have no clue why it's sucha popular option when there's many many better options within that time period alone. I know you are just using it as an example since it was handed down to you and everything. It's a fine camera just not the first choice, especially at that price. I own one and like it, only really bought it to use the FD mount glass I've found over the years, and when I found an AE1 at a swap meet that was good condition I swooped, I think at the time it set me back like 40 bucks or so. I really really do like the included 50MM 1.4 that came with it though, it's the sharpest 50 I've ever used. It's right back like the 80's when literally the name "program" would sell the camera haha. In that price range you can get so much more value from like a Pentax LX or something
